$76 (cart included), played on Friday, September 2009 at noon

The course is in an area that gets very hot....even so, no water is furnished to the players, and the only water on the course is some kind of fountain that is not even cooled-----water was almost too hot to drink.

However, my biggest complaint was that there was no layout of the golf course provided; so that no one in our group knew how to play the course, stay away from trouble, etc. etc. When we mentioned this to the pro after our round as constructive criticism to which he should should have paid attention and learned something, he was rude and said, "too hard for you?"

Lastly, the fees for where this course is located are way out of line, and there were no amenities provided....also no bag drop area and parking is a long ways from the starting area.

This is definitely not a pleasurable almost $100 golf experience!

Would travel: 0-10 Miles
