I am always excited to take the trip out to Glen Ivy, and when I got a group together on Saturday to find a time Sunday, I was very happy to see that on their website I could book for $34 a pop! We got to the pro shop, and they inform us that GolfNow (who does their booking, unbeknownst by me) made an error and that time is for NEXT Sunday. We spend a half hour on the phone with GolfNow to remedy the situation (they required us to pay in full) and give up after they were no help whatsoever. They gave us a discount in the pro shop that wasn't too bad, which made things a bit better. You could tell management has their hands too tied up, which isn't great for business, but the employees still found a way.

Sunday (Mother's Day) was a little over 100 degrees (and all of their water coolers on the course were empty) and real windy, so conditions weren't perfect to give the most fair review, we were all exhausted by the 15th hole. The black tees aren't all that great, but are relatively level, just need a bit of a trim. The fairways are very good, even though many players are definitely not using the 90 degree rule or sanding/replacing their divots. The rough isn't too punishing, which is always nice on a course where out of bounds can come into play on every hole. The greens have healed up very well! They aren't up to full speed, but roll true and have good pace.

Glen Ivy is the home of the raddest Marshall in golf, Fred. Say hi to him when you're out there, he has some great stories if you find yourself playing too quickly (5 holes in 30 minutes, it was wide open)

I suppose we'll be back out there next Sunday, seeing as we're already paid up. I hope the golf gods give us some good weather and GolfNow doesn't somehow screw with us again.
