Do Not Recall (cart included), played on Monday, May 2008 at 8am
The course is in the middle of the Desert. The temepature was over 100 on both days we played. We played both the Desert and the Lakes course.
There was not on ounce of water on the course, as in cooler stations. First day, shame on them, second day shame on me, I should have known better. They did have a cooler on the cart with some ice and a small bottle of water in it for each golfer. That was it. Eighteen holes no water. The cart girl was seen once on the first day on the Desert course and that was after 11 holes. We saw her twice on the second day. The hospitability cart guy had plenty of sand and dry towles but no water.
This is the sixth year that I have played these courses and loved to do so up until this year. Unbelievable how bad the greens were. Having no water though in the middle of the desert was the breaking point,I will not be going back for the seventh year.
