Review of Steel Canyon Golf Course

Ok so I went to this place to play an early mornin...

Ok so I went to this place to play an early morning round Tuesday at 730. The gentlemen told me that he could not match the GolfNow rate cause the point of the system was to reserve ahead of time. Seeing as I was one of two cars in the lot at that hour I figured he could make an exception, but I get it rules are rules I should of booked through the site. So I pay my green fee and head out. I should also note that I specifically checked their website to ensure this was not a Par 3 course. Once I get out there and look at the scorecard I quickly realize that the course consists of 2 par 4's and 1 par 5, the rest (15 HOLES) being par 3's. once again I can accept some fault for not researching exactly what an executive course meant. The actual play is where the true low ranking of my review comes from however. The course is very tightly laid out and extremely poorly marked. 80% of the holes you cannot see the green, which is understandable on a par 3 course, but they didn't even have signs out at the tee boxes depicting the layout of the holes or yardage. While this information is available on the scorecard, the teen box signs usually have some yardage for obstacles and sand traps which is useful information and how for the green is from the turn and so on. Most of the cart paths are also poorly marked and you have to guess which way to go to even get to the next hole. On top of that one of the two par 4's on the course was so badly maintained that I couldn't even tell which fairway was mine and which way I was supposed to drive. On the second par 4 I was excited to finally use a club that wasn't a 7,8,9 or wedge only to find a maintenance crew in the smack center of the fairway. I understand they need to do maintenance but once you see me, you could at least stop work and move your carts from the middle of the fairway so that I don't have to drive into the gully to the right of the green (this was a drivable par 4) to avoid hitting you, but the maintenance crew couldn't be bothered to stop their work and as such I had a wasted drive on one of the only two par 4's on the course. Long story short this course sucks, I could of gotten over some of the simple things and even take some responsibility, but the course flat out sucks and isn't worth the 25 bucks I paid to play!!!!
