Enjoyed a round here on 7/25 with a couple of friends. The course looks great despite the drought, but there were some areas especially dry or hard-packed. The greens and tee box were in great condition. Fairways in good conditions (short and relatively fast).

I did have an issue with the cart girl. Or, in this case, the cart guy - a middle-aged man who didn't seem to happy to be out there. We had waved him by once. Second time around, maybe around the 13th or 14th, he stopped and asked us if anyone had left a club behind. I realized that I had left a sand wedge a couple holes back. He didn't seem too friendly about it and asked (in a fairly serious tone) if there was a finder's fee. That threw me off a little...and I was appreciative, so I figured I'd get beer and give him a few bucks tip.

While I was selecting a drink, he says to me 'the last guy who's club I found gave me $20.' Again, not in a joking or nice way at all. I'm fairly new to the game and certainly had never been in this situation before, but I thought to myself 'I'm not tipping you $20 to because you're giving me my club back, especially with your crappy attitude.' I chose my beer, paid (with a few bucks tip) and walked back to my cart.

As he drove off, my friends thought that that was a very strange situation. Maybe I would've given him a straight tip up front, but with his attitude, I decided not to. There's a side of me that thinks a heartfelt thank you would suffice. Because he had such a sour attitude AND essentially solicited a tip to guilt me into giving him one, I left with a not-so-good impression (although everyone else was great). My buddies (both long-time golfers) were thrown off as well - both said they wouldn't have tipped the guy at all given how he approached us. And they are great tippers. Thankful I got the club back but why the attitude and passive-aggressive solicitation?

I realize most of my review has to do with this lost club experience - my apologies. Felt like I had to share the experience. I really did enjoy the track (my second time playing it) and it was a great day. I'd certainly play there again...and will keep a closer eye on my clubs next time. Cheers.
