Sad . I have played at this course for years and our round of golf experience this time was the worst! First I looked online for a tee time....and they wanted to charge a service fee....never had that before! So I (thought) I called the pro shop to book a tee time....price was different (more). But I did anyway.....then I was told I needed to give my cc to hold the time....never had to do that! When we go to the course no one was there....went inside to pay....was told a slightly different price (just by a few $$), when I questioned it I was told it could have been different if I booked online and I stated that I called in, he informed me that I spoked to someone in the call center? How and why so many different ways to book a tee time and different rates? Again, never had that before?

Proceeded to head out to play....course looked burned out and traps not kept end up as they were in the past. Our group was playing and then we noticed a cart approach in us in the middle of the fairway...it was a grounds keeper in a regular golf cart with a weed trimmer...he did not stop or apologize for interrupting our game and just drove thru like we were not even there? Then a few holes later...again a worker on a tractor started to fertilize the tee and fairway? Saying nothing and not letting us hit and move on? Again never experienced that in my life at any course! Normally they shut down their engines, let you hit and they continue and so do you.

It sad to see this golf club look worse and worse

I miss the original owner and staff!
