They are aerifying with small holes starting tomorrow which they should. The greens are in great shape and not crusty. The fairways are wonderful. The bunkers, likewise. I have always enjoyed this course(s). So sad the Players course closed several years ago.:(

The following was inspired by 4in1game's review: This is based on my experience with the atmosphere or vibe I always get here since the 1980's. Management wants to nickel and dime you every chance they get. There is nothing wrong with making money. It is our capitalist system, although not perfect, which has allowed for the great accumulation of prosperity and wealth in our society we so greatly benefit from. Luxuries such as golf become attainable even for one with relatively modest means like me. However, when a business has petty policies with the aim of "making money', the customer notices it and is at best indifferent, and at worst finds it repulsive and never patrons the business again. I think I am 70% indifferent and 30% repulsed. Such is the aura at this course since the 1980's. A good example is the ridiculousness of charging a fee to use a chipping/bunker postage stamp sized green. Hardly any other course does this. Or they didn't even have a replay rate when the course was 36 holes. Even 10 bucks off would have been nice. I get the feeling this is not a pleasant place to work at. I bet the employees are micromanaged. There are no or very few smiles by those in the pro shop. I suspect that management takes a very large chunk of the teaching pros lesson fees. What management needs to realize is how you treat your employees will reflect on how that employee relates to the customer. Recognize an employee as merely a pair of hands and you get bland service. Fortunately for management at Mile Square there are not a whole lot of competitors out there. If there where more golf courses, and more facilities with excellent, non-robotic employees who were engaging with the golfers, a great drift from Mile Square to other courses would be inevitable. Thanks for reading my "2 cents, or nickel and dime"
