Greens - firm and undulating

Course is nice, not penal. Greens were undulating and fairly fast. No straight putts. approach shots bounced through the greens. Often hard to find a ball mark, even with short irons. Since many greens were slightly elevated, little opportunity to run balls up. Need to sand the greens better, maybe not cut them so short.

Where’d the $13.3 million go

“Not sure where that 13.3 million dollars went but it sure wasn’t the course. I grew up going to sportsman and to see that money wasted on a parking lot and clubhouse is despicable.

The greens are awful, dirt areas everywhere. The teeboxes are ball above or below your feet and torn up. I will never go back.”

Nice course to walk

Course is in good shape, challenging greens,, plays longer than it is. Great course to walk and a great course for the price. The clubhouse and amenities are all top notch, and the staff is wonderful.

SINGLE PLAYER

IT WAS MY IMPRESSION THAT I WAS GOING TO PLAY AS A SINGLE. AS IT TURN OUT MY DESIRE TO PLAY AS A SINGLE WOUND UP AS A FOURSOME. TWO OF THE PLAYERS WERE HORRIBLE, EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE NICE GUYS. ONE OF THE FOUR LEFT TO PLAY BY HIMSELF ON THE 12TH HOLE. I DID THE SAME ON THE 14TH HOLE. HAD I NOT DONE THAT, I MIGHT STILL BE OUT THERE.
