Do Not Recall (cart included), played on Friday, January 2011 at 8am
Played this course with my buddy as a twosome. Had a forecaddy assigned to us. Stands were up so the ambiance was great. Played well and had a good day going. Planned to play 36. My money was in my valuables pocket and was all there when I paid the girl for drinks on the 14th hole. Saw no one else the rest of the round. Noticed when we tipped the forecaddy after 18 that my money was out of order. Tipped him well but after further inspection in the clubhouse discovered that over $400 was missing. My friend checked his bag and his Rolex was gone. Course had us fill out and incident report. forecaddy was long gone. Made a police report and the course did nothing. Basically acted like they really didn't care. Caddy master had us fill out an incident report. Had to be the forecaddy take my money and either the forecaddy or another emoloyee that got my buddy's Rolex. Extremely disappointed how that matter was handled! If anyone plays there don't assume anything if safe. The PGA needs to address this issue.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: Average course for the area, Better courses for less nearby
