Do Not Recall (cart included), played on Saturday, August 2013 at 8am
Played this course several years ago, was awesome, this time the course was in poor shape. Tees beat up, some fairways burned out or just plan missing grass, fixed at least 5 plus ball marks on every green. How did I have the time to fix so many ball marks, well the pace was horrible, took over 5 hours to play a round. When we spoke with the ranger he told us we were 8 minutes behind, this is after he saw 3 groups on a 4th hole, a par 3, then went on to argue with our three groups playing behind us. This ranger should not be dealing with customers, no people skills. Same ranger continued to hound us in our second round in the afternoon that he didn't have us on his tee sheet, but the girls in the snackshop knew all about our 4 groups playing 36 that day. Girls in the snackshop were fantastic, food was very good. Maybe put the snackshop girls out as the ranger!
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: Better courses for less nearby
