Wildhorse Golf Club, the course, should be named pig slop retreat. The fairways are muddy, the green have very little grass and the people are rude. If you call as I did before making reservations and ask how the greens are, they will say not bad. When I showed up, not only was the aforementioned mud prevalent, the 5th green had no grass and many others were the same way. If you ask mention the lousy condition to the course personnel, they say "the course is in the best shape it has been in for years." Wow, I can not imagine it being in worse shape. I know it is a city course and perhaps those running it are on a set salary and have no incentive to improve the course and get more rounds. They quite frankly act as if they do not care. But at least they should be honest when asked about course conditions and should tell you what the real conditions are. It will be a long time, if every before I return.
