| - Seriously, what golf course doesn't allow spectators to watch a golf tournament??
Played a Pepsi tour event here and the course is in bad shape. More mud than grass in the rough and the fairways are really patchy. So bad in fact that a professional event told us to play "lift, clean, and place" within a club-length. Usually if it's lift clean and place, it's because of a horrible storm and the conditions are already muddy, and it's almost always within a scorecard length (8-12 inches). This time it had to be a full club-length because that's what it took to find a good lie in many cases. I understand having some bad lies, its part of the game, but 90% of the lies out here are pretty sketchy. The greens need to be cut down, they roll at about a 7 on the stimp, which is really slow for an event in April when grass is growing like crazy and they can afford to cut em down.
Really disappointed they kicked a players parents off the course. Players drove from California for this tournament and you're gonna force their parents off the course? One group of parents were forced to leave on the 9th hole, halfway thru the round already. And another mom told me she offered to pay the fee to play if they would let her have a cart to follow her son, and they turned her down. She told me that instead of being able to watch her son play, she went back to the hotel and sat in the room. Thanks for ruining their little family trip to Vegas to watch their aspiring golf pro son play in a tournament.
Horrible customer service, bad conditions for a course that's holding an event, and I won't be back unless the round is paid for by someone else. Not spending my $$ here. Only reason I'm not giving 1 star is because the cart attendant in the morning was really friendly, and the greens had potential and lots of grass and the layout is in fact kind of fun. 5 par 3's on the course and they are all pretty tough.
2 stars and it's debatable to be that nice.
