| - Played here for the third time...and I've definitely changed my tune.
There are three reasons I never want to play here again.
First, they treat you like cattle. They cram as many people in there as they can. The tee times are close together, the staff doesn't really care or they're clueless (one of the staff members told us our guest doesn't get a discount, despite the fact that we are platinum Eagle card holders), and they don't tell you important things like there being a tournament happening while you are playing. Anything to make a few extra bucks, right?
Second, the layout on two holes is dangerous. If you hit an errant drive on the 13th hole, it can very easily land on the 14th tee box. And the 17th hole is placed such that a miss to the right can easily hit the 16th tee box, and a miss to the left can easily hit the 18th tee box. You have to constantly be on the lookout on those last few holes.
Finally, the clientele are a bunch of clowns. Every time I play, there is a group behind or in front that causes problems (slow play, hitting into you, etc.). Never had those problems elsewhere.
True story, we played this morning, and twice the group behind us hit into us. On the 13th hole, I was standing no more than 250 yards from the tee, IN PLAIN VIEW, and I hear someone yell. Someone's drive lands about ten feet from me and speeds right by. Of course I turn around and stare the guy down, holding my club up in the air just to let him know that I'm not happy about this. But I give him the benefit of the doubt...Maybe he didn't look at the GPS and thought I was farther out? But then the last guy in the foursome hits his drive! Of course it lands half way between me and one of the other guys in our group. This guy just watched his colleague almost hit me, and he goes ahead and hits anyways! One of the guys in our group kindly pointed out to the idiots that there are three groups right in front of us, and thus there is no hurry.
We later mentioned this to one of the cart girls, who said these guys are out here every week! How could they not have known the distance if they know the course? Of course they knew, they just thought it was OK to hit into people as long as they yell "fore." On the 18th hole, unsurprisingly, the toolbags teed off while we were still hitting our second shots, and actually drove up within 30 yards of us while we were hitting. I've never seen such terrible etiquette on a golf course before.
So between the uncaring staff, the dangerous layout, and the clowns who play here, there's no reason to play here when there are so many other great courses around. Just drive down the street to Dobson Ranch.
