I played there today with a sceduled 8:00a.m. Tee Time made 5 days earier. When we arrived we were notified that they were doing a scheduled green plugging. Something we were NOT notified about when the Tee Time was made. There was as much as 1 1/2" of sand on some greens. They looked more like bunkers. Other greens had rolling hills of sand. All 18 greens were in the process of being done. A few were plugged, some had the sand brushed, but most had the sand on, not brushed. One hole (#12) didn't even have a flag so you didn't know where the hole was!! When I went in to complane I was told that I should of gone somewhere else, rather than play there. Where would I go without a scheduled tee time at 8:00 in the morning??? They had no problem taking our money, but would not consider at lease a 9 hole rain check for the horrible conditions. 3 and 4 putt were the norm.
