Played for the first time 11/03 and was the first guy out (6:42).. I never saw another golfer on the course and the conditions were great (they should be, as they hold one of the q school stages in two weeks).. also the staff here is top-notch. Gil in the pro shop gave me a nine-hole raincheck because i had to dodge the groundscrew and sprinklers (q school prep stuff) and Lee in the barn went out of his way to help me after i boneheadedly locked my keys in the car... I'm going to make the hour+ drive at least once a month now... btw i got around in 2:45

I went out to Rustic on Wednesday 1/17 for my 7:00 tee-time eager to show my dad the course. We drove 1.5 hours only to discover it was blowing around 30 mph with frequent gusts around 60 mph. The course looked great and we were still going to play. However, the guy in the shop practically begged us, and the other four guys who showed up, not to play. Those guys ignored him and went out while we ate in hopes of it calming down. When it didn't we decided not to waste the long drive and give it a go provided that we wouldn't have to walk (as we usually do) through the canyons in those conditions. When I asked about him comp'ing a cart the guy just laughed and later I heard him joking with a cart kid about my doing so while he was surfing the net in the office. I called back later and asked how many people went out that day... some other (very friendly) guy told me about 15. I guess they should have taken my $75. Anyways, a good track but avoid the the Wednesday morning shop guy, Bret, I think.
