The golf course has never been in bad condition in all the years I ve been coming but the lack of customer service has gotten terribly bad over the last five years. The overnight accommodations are over-priced for what you get. I haven t seen as many flies in a horse barn as I ve seen in my room over a two day period. No normal refrigerators? How are you suppose to store your food for grilling after playing golf? The answer, in your own ice chest. The food preparation and service in the grill is less than desirable. Burned hamburger patty and cold fries? The Pro Shop staff make you feel your visit to the course is burdensome to their day. There s no means of showing appreciation for coming and spending thousands of dollars. No flexibility of arrangements or pricing, even if you brought 20+ players! They won t get another penny from me unless I hear and see some dramatic positive changes in their customer relations and updating of their overnight accommodations. The golf course is a 4 but all other negative issues bring the rating down to a 2.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line:
Condition of Course, Layout, No Houses on Course
Price, Staff, Clubhouse, Food/Bar Facilities , Pro Shop
