Ok, I generally don't give negative reviews, I prefer to highlight positives and give praise when due. I will give a negative review when conditions are egregiously not up to the standard of what the green fee sets only to inform my fellow GKers in hopes that you all can avoid a bad experience, as many of you have saved me from businesses that don't appreciate our patronage and hard earned money.
Prior to today I would have told you this course was in my regular rotation, no longer! This course has come under new management recently, and because I did play here quite regularly, it was easy for me to notice and point out on course improvements and exactly where money was being spent. I would like to detail the course conditions, but I'm so disgusted I can't bring myself to bother. All in all, the course has never been great in the last 10 years, but was working itself up to good in the last few months.
This course has high number of fools that show up here just to screw around as if this place is an amusement park for buffoons! I witnessed today (and other days) a group drive their cart ACROSS THE GREEN! On more than one occasion! I witnessed two in this same group run thru a bunker after putting out on #16. I'm sure there was even more bad behavior I didn't witness, I was behind them for the final 3 holes, only because to two groups between us quit and left the course after telling me they couldn't take it anymore. They also said they had called the pro shop on them, but there is no Marshall. It took this offensive group 30 minutes to finish #17! 30 minutes!!!
Shandin Hills, I promise never to return until you guys employ a Marshall! There are those who respect the game, course, property and facilities, then there are those who don't care about any of these things and exhibit a total disregard for fellow golfers on top of all that! My question to Shandin Hills is whether or not they will address the issues of their faithful customers or continue to let these people drive us away and negate the hard work the grounds crew is putting in?

It's a shame Shandin Hills is letting these occasional (I can't call them golfers, they don't even call themselves "golfers") drive away regular customers!
