Stop spending money for projects not need by the membership but maybe want by a very very small minority.

2.

 

do not cut down trees!

3.

 

Put more sand in sand traps.

4.

 

We would like to see a more consistant course. Same rough height throughout the course. Same speed on the greens. Less muddy spots ( you shouldn't get mud on your ball in March thru Oct ) The same course condition year round that see during the Invitational Tournaments and when our course is rated. A training program for the course workers so the tee's are actually pointing squarely at the intended target and the hole on the greens are not on the sloped part of the green.

5.

 

I think our golf course looks fantastic and Ken does a terrific job with the resources he has.

6.

 

finance / audit /BOD has trouble making improvement decisions, even after finances are available. Such as cart paths on holes 13 & 14-----just now approved.

7.

 

Over these many years I think to much money has been spent needlessly on the improvements & maintenance that did little to upgrade the course. The many changes in the course supertendents has caused to many different approches taken to improve the course. I do not think the current budget being spent on these efforts is being spent in a frugal manner. It seems to me that these costs further deters the need to have new association members & guests become added players in golfi participation or membership.

8.

 

funding of improvements should be shared by all homeowners as they are for lake improvements! All share the value of the course in their home values. lso, keep watering the course as done in 2008-- It Looks Great!

9.

 

Why do the golfers have to pay for the maintenance of the grounds around the club house? Does not the club house belong to everyone? Everyone always complains if they think that they are paying for anything related to the golf coarse out of the general funds.

10.

 

Please don't make the 17th hole any longer than it is. Is there any way to make 15 more interesting. It is the most BOREING HOLE on the course. It's not a challenge, it's an endurnce contest.

11.

 

need sighs that say where the next hole is

12.

 

It could be kept in a "Country Club" condition with more financial input from it's members. This will probably never happen; therefore, as long as it is more closely resembles "Penn Valley Municipal" in both it's operation and condition.....then the "Association" should treat it as it's MOST VALUABLE ASSET and fund it as such.

13.

 

guest fees too high

14.

 

Open hole # 8 to carts

15.

 

Limit number of carts per group, fine carts that do not follow cart rules

16.

 

too expensive to play here

17.

 

replace asphalt cart paths. make forward tee boxes. Hole 10 is wet too often.

18.

 

I would like to see guests have a cheaper price for golfing. Some families just can't afford the current price. Also vacation homeowners are no longer purchasing yearly golf memberships because they don't come up often enough to make it worthwhile. How about reduced prices in some sort of booklet that they could purchase for themselves and their guests so they would not be forced to go to other local golf courses as they are currently doing?

19.

 

The course is kept far too wet in the Summer. No roll, plugged lies and golf cart and mx equipment ruts are good indicators. Duh? The rough around the greens is kept at an almost unplayable height for the average golfer. Fairway widths and mowing patterns punish the high handicap golfer unreasonably. Why pinch the landing areas down to a few yards for our least skilled golfers? The greens are kept so wet in the Summer that excessive damage is caused by ball marks which many times the ball embeds. Healthy grass does not grow in standing water/mud. Go out to the 3rd green when the cup is being reset and smell the rotten, stagnate earth. Check out the approach to the 6th green and walk in the bog to the right front of the green as well. Come out early any morning and see the water from the 3rd tee running down the road for two hundred yards to the lake in front of the 4th tee. The Bridges on holes 3,4,12 and 14 are wet and slick early every morning when the course is irrigated. Someone is going to be seriously hurt. All that is needed to make these bridges more safe is a walking strip of no skid down the center of the bridges. This has been brought to the Superintendents attention, yet nothing changes. No one seems to care. is time for change. We are not getting our moneys worth!!

20.

 

The course has improved a great deal with better practice areas, improved proshop and professional staff. The course maintenance has also shown steady improvement.

21.

 

For hole #8, there should be NO thoroughfare allowed for non-golfing carts. It is dangerous and someone is going to be severely hurt someday and LWW will be completely liable for negligence on this rule. It also causes arguments everday between the golfers that are playing and the non-golfing cart drivers because it is very distracting to the golfers. Also, the Marshalls on LWW are worthless for regulating speed of play which causes too many slow rounds for everyone.

22.

 

need new cart paths on 13, 14 & fewer geese

23.

 

I think with the amount of $$ we pay for golf, it's an excellent investment

24.

 

haven't played there yet. Will join in 2009. Question 14 is really N/A

25.

 

I wish there were some way we could get players to share their golf carts and spare the course.

26.

 

needs work to keep it in shape

27.

 

Course always looks great

28.

 

When "the bandits" are playing a group, golf is more stressful and less enjoyable. Ken and the staff are doing a great job.

29.

 

Do not relocate cart path on hole 16

30.

 

Replace cart path on 13 and 14

31.

 

Spend money on maintenance, not major changes. We need concrete cart paths on ALL holes, bunkers with deep and uniform sand, greens with consistent speed, fairways without severe local dips, roughs that don't break golf cart axles, sprinklers that don't leave dry spots and bogs, and so on.

32.

 

too many frost delays and for too late in day. Would like to drive on more of course (#8) More trees

33.

 

the golf master plan is too ambitious; we don't need a championship course here

34.

 

1. We need a greens committee. 2. The elevated forward tees present a problem for older golfers who have difficulty with uneven terrain. 3. Standards of golf course maintenance should be established so that golfers can evaluate the condition of the course.

35.

 

LEAVE IT ALONE!! WE HAVE THE BEST COURSE AROUND AND DO NOT NEED TO TAMPER WITH IT!

36.

 

I feel we should have total access to drive golf carts on ALL holes. Too many holes are closed to carts for seemingly unneccesary reasons. We have spent too much money fixing drainage problems and still not able to ride on some holes. Give us back our golf course!!

37.

 

Time & time again we see total disregard for the cart signs ("NO CARTS") or CARTS>. You can see where carts have worn out the grass in some areas. I really didn't care for the ropes that were installed a couple of years ago. However, they were effective in guiding the cart traffic. The only problem was that the ropes weren't moved often enough to keep the grass from being worn in the same areas all the time. Green stakes with green colored rope in certain areas may be the answer to the ones who just drive straight to their ball without regard for the condition of the course or anyone else. This is our course. We all should have the attitude that "it is my course and I'm going to take care of it", rather than "I pay my dues I'll do what I want and you're not going to tell me otherwise". It's our money that is spent to repair the damage that we do ourselves. To me, it's a no-brainer.

38.

 

I would prefer to limit play to foursomes to speed up the game.

39.

 

I think there is an opportunity for the golf pro to do more to generate revenue for the golf shop and I think we can provide the golf course at a cost to outside groups for tournaments to generate more revenue as well. The rental carts are embarrassing and need to be replaced. Several do not work and they do not reflect the quality of amenities at LWW that we have.

40.

 

Golf ball avaiability in the morning at the chipping and pitching areas -- the bin is empty and we have to collect our own ball with the divice that is in the shed. There are no shag bags in the area now. Could golf maintenance crew gather balls for the bin before the event?

41.

 

The forward tees need to be completed to accommodate all types of golfers.

42.

 

Raise membership cost and limit the total number of members.

43.

 

I live on the golf course and the watering system on the side of the cart path is totally useless. The sprinklers go on at 8 in the morning for 7 min. and have no effect on the grass. When the ball lands there you have to hit it on hard rocky soil which scratches the clubhead. The grass is totally brown and should be watered some time after midnight in the early morning hours and longer than 7 min.

44.

 

greens are to slow. they need to be vertcut and rolled on a regular basis.Blue tee boxes need work on #4 box leveling with the plugs after the arification and #9 tees are back under the tree to often the box should be mowed 3 to 4 feet farther up.And no more curbs on the golf course.? Who is the genius?

45.

 

Need to go to 4 not 5 per tee time, everything else is ok and no changes or extra expenses needed unless safety is in jeopardy

46.

 

LWW is an outstanding Golf course suited to the residents of LWW

47.

 

Course improvements should be done over a period of time by prioritizing needed project first.

48.

 

Why cut down good trees?? Not native-- Are all the LWW residents--- NATIVE??? 150 yard trees were great, but not native, so had to be removed!!! A few people made the decisions, that the so called GOLF expert, that we paid, thousands of $$$, said had to be removed and many other trees were also removed.

49.

 

The golf course is fine and needs minimal attention

50.

 

1. 8th green is in the worst condition I ever seen. I have been playing on this course since Jan 1971. Repair the edge of the green and get rid of the ugly posts and rope. This is the joke of the day when we approach the green. 2. Open fairway #8 for carts. Why is it closed? 3. The greens are getting smaller every year. Check with the couse rater's history. 4. Most courses practice using the the least amount of carts per round. I see lots of 5 carts per 5 players. This is hard on the fairways. 5. What happened to the 90 degree rule that is suppose to be in effect when riding carts are allowed off the cart path? The Marshals are not enforcing the rule.

51.

 

It needs esthetic maintenance, i.e. use vehicles that do not leave ruts along edges of cart paths. This should be feasible at vey little cost. Get the cart paths on 13 & 14 done.

52.

 

I would not like to see the course become an elitist country club! It is a wonderful "blue-collar" course!

53.

 

green side bank on #12 needs shoring..Golf cart paths on #13 and #14 need paving...many bunkers should be removed, they are not in play and require extra maintenance

54.

 

Renew the greens. Buy the land needed to add nine holes to the golf amenity (would substantially increase property values, as three nine hole courses would mix and match to provide the equivalent of three different courses) Add natural grass for the driving range--those pads are ridiculouos. On the plus side, the refreshment cart is a welcome addition, and Lisa is an outstanding ambassador for the Club!

55.

 

It is a complete course ad does not need cosmetic additions or modification.

56.

 

1. Love the new food cart 2. Practice areas great including driving range 3. Only recommendations are-1 lengthen the blue tees (rather short course); expand the club house hours even though a money loser!

57.

 

Cart Path fees seem high

58.

 

The course is wonderful!

59.

 

Guests have to pay too much. You can play Alta Sierra, Nevada County, Beale, and most others in the area for less money. My guests won't play here because LWW green fees are too expensive compared to other courses in the area. The Ridge is $40 with cart.

60.

 

I would like to see the Golf Master plan implemented as soon as feasible.

61.

 

Please be careful not to eradicate any "views" for homeowner's via hedges as on 2-Tee's

62.

 

cut the fairways wider to speed up play

63.

 

The money pit! (Said without humor!)

64.

 

Golfing at LWW is an exceptional value!

65.

 

promote players to use Tee boxes that suite their handicap

66.

 

The automatic reservation system is inconsistant. The system seems to penalize every three weeks regardless of the number of rounds played.

67.

 

I think that the Golf Professional and his staff, and the Golf Superintendent are doing a very good job.

68.

 

members need to be willing to pay more for the use of our course. It's unreasonalbe to expect the whole membership to pay for such an expensive amentiy.

69.

 

Would play at LWW more often and pay more if the greens were better. Greens are too slow and bumpy and need to be cut. Length of grass on fairways is too long.

70.

 

The golf course is our most valuable assets as regards our property values and would like the golf course greens placed on replacement reserves and replaced as they wore out or within the next ten years.

71.

 

Wish we had built the additional nine holes!

72.

 

1.DO NOT WASTE MONEY ON MOVING 14TH BRIDGE. 2. FEE STRUCTURE IS UNFAIR, SHOULD BE PAY FOR ACTUAL PLAY, WITH DISCOUNT FOR BUYING BUNDLES OF 30 ROUNDS OR ANY OTHER NUMBER IN A BUNDLE THAT MAKES ECONOMIC AND FAIRNESS SENSE. PRICE OF A BUNDLE COULD BE SET AFTER ALL BUYERS SIGN UP TO MAKE TOTAL REVENUE COVER EXPENSES.

73.

 

the quality of the course is more than adecuate for the quality of play and the participating golfers. I've played all over the world and consider lww a more than adecuate course and the cheapest.

74.

 

variety in the length of the par-3 holes

75.

 

Golf Course should be supported by all owners of Lake Wildwood, not just golfers. It's just as important to the value of our community as is the lake, which we all support.

76.

 

we like the low price

77.

 

The Master Plan should be implemented. Many of the improvements are necessary to make the course fair and more enjoyable.

78.

 

Will no longer play LWW Golf Course while fivesomes are allowed. Play is too slow!

79.

 

The golf course was designed during the early 1970's and is in need of some major renovations to bring it up to the quality of newer courses...the course get lots of play but the overall condition is just average.

80.

 

We have one of the best golfing deals in Northern California here, I would not like to lose this distinction.

81.

 

Maybe seasonable member fees should be considered, like in Rosmoor.

82.

 

There is NO constancy in the greens..putting is very difficult to control.

83.

 

KEEP ACCESS TO THE COURSE FOR HOME OWNERS ONLY.

84.

 

I'm "satisfied" but extremely frustrated by the following constant issues. Course has many wet bog areas all summer. Also many dead spots in many fairways all summer. Greens are very inconsistent from one to another. Some tees have perminent bare spots. Sand bunkers are very poorly maintained (never enough sand depth). Golf work crews are poorly managed (example - 12 people and 7 vehicles were used for 2 days on 11th hole to remove 1+ fallen oak trees)(I have video). Many maintenance chores done slowly by hand instead of with normal power tools. Golf maintenance costs are substantially higher than other courses in N. Cal. Very few events scheduled to get more fun and interactions (i.e. summer music, socials, dance, clinics, etc). Restaurant has absolutely no coordination with golf events. Food at golf events is generally terrible! Inappropriate golf pickups do most of the damage around cart paths. Green clippings are tossed within a couple steps of greens making area unplayable. Aeration sand is blown only a few feet off green causing severe mounding and irregular bounces on approach shots (gets worse every time it's done). 8th green is now marked perminently unplayable with 4x4 posts set in concrete with no apparent end in sight. Rental carts are embarassing "clunkers". These issues have been constant for my 9 years here.

85.

 

The greens should be in better year around condition.

86.

 

The overhanging lips on the sand traps are absolutely horrid and unnecessary. They discourage play, SLOW DOWN PLAY, and cause frustration for many of us. You never see such overhangs on the courses played in the professional tournaments. Why can't they be modified for the level of players most of us are?

87.

 

I think we should have "Special Rates" for those of us that are not retired, that are able to play the 75 rounds a year. Also we could have a daly golf cart fee for those of us that own a cart but don't want to pay the $300 + a year to only play 25 time or so a year.

88.

 

The drink/snack cart is a welcome addition. Marshals should be more in attendance.

89.

 

Would like to see foursomes instead of groups of five. If it was a requirement to only have two golf carts per foursome it help on the wear and tear on the course.

90.

 

none

91.

 

some fairways need better cart pathes

92.

 

Have all members of the community contribute to the maintenance of the golf course as it is an "amenity" for which they receive value against their property!

93.

 

Couse is kept in very good condition year around.

94.

 

Golf course maintenance is inconsistant. Sand traps are poorely maintained, water leaks are not fixed and should be marked of for a drop. Every year when the greens are arriated, they take much longer to heal than any course I have played and they have redo many of the greens. I do not want renters playing our golf course!

95.

 

continue updating the cart paths and sand traps...build the bridge on 14

96.

 

Marshals often tell us to speed up play when by our clocks we are doing just fine!!! They just watch for spaces and when a five some is playing behind a three some there's bound to be a space.

97.

 

There should be a program for renters.

98.

 

marshall to speed pace of play; reduce watering on areas that retain water e.g. 4th, 17th, 8th fairways; add lunch items at the clubhouse/bar

99.

 

Need to treat it as an important asset and keep it up-to-date.

100.

 

If a golf course is rated by the quality of it's greens, then our course can at best be rated c+ to b- .

101.

 

Golf course is not great...maintenence could be vastly improved...Alta Sierra and The Ridge courses are in much better shape...also fivesomes should not be allowed at LWW because it makes golf too slow. Finally, the women's tees are just plain wrong...the golf course is too long for most women...also need forward tees for high handicappers on all holes...let's get this golfcourse in shape on these items please!!!

102.

 

would like to see some improvements on course in line with top priorities in recent golf survey;also would like to return to one fee for unlimited golf, even if fees go up it would still be a great deal!

103.

 

Think it's fine, but want to make sure it's kept-up, improved where needed, and well maintained.

104.

 

It would be nice to have nine more holes. I understand the Association had an opportunity to purchase sufficient land to do so. Since I play more (and pay more) than the average golfer, I think I ought to hae some kind of priority on the tee time scheduling system. That system now rewards people who don't play much, and it ought to be biased toward people who play more.

105.

 

We feel a level is needed below the 75 round fee at an annual rate, ie: $500 for 50 rounds. There are golfers that only play on their club days and would buy an annual at the lower rate.

106.

 

Install broken Tee Cups on all Tee boxes so members can keep the area clean of broken tees

107.

 

1) Spending money on the new raised forward tees doesn't seem like a good use of funds. 2) Would prefer that the new tee boxes be placed to the side rather then directly in front of the white and red tee boxes.

108.

 

the greens are not punched properly! management does not listen toeither employees or verry experienced property owners!

109.

 

Both the Golf Superintendent and Golf Pro do excellent work!

110.

 

The sand traps are terrible! They should make them easier for all levels or players

111.

 

I think it's in pretty good shape, I would just like to see the rough more even.

112.

 

It seems that when we aereate the rough the plugs are left in place which seems to make the rough very uneven. Why don't we remove them as we do in the fairways?

113.

 

Getting tee times should be made simpler.

114.

 

We don't like fivesomes

115.

 

n/a

116.

 

We don't need to make our course like a big country club in the Bay area. The trees on our course were just fine!!

117.

 

Too many soggy spots and too many barren spots.

118.

 

Course could be upgraded a minimal cost. (ie. Coyote Run)

119.

 

I think the course in gereral is in great shape. There are a couple of greens that could be in better shape and we are currently over watering the fairways to keep them green. But all in all for what we pay it's, as you alreaady know, the BEST DEAL WE COULD EVER WANT.

120.

 

Bunkers need repair, greens should be more consistent in speed, wet and dry areas could be looked after. This summer the course was the best it has been in the last seven years.

121.

 

golf revenues were reported to be down. Why are they down? Has any consideration been given to allow a small # of starting times to be used by outsiders on weekends?

122.

 

Fairways are too wet year round. You get no/little roll. Carts make ruts in fairways and pickup trucks keep the area around our cart paths rutted; usually full of stagnant water. Greens are kept so waterlogged in Summer that you make footprints walking on them. Superintendent knows nothing about golf course playability and enjoyment. He will not even play the course to experience his poor performance first hand.

123.

 

Members who play on a regular basis have no respect for members who play occasionally and are paying full course fees.

124.

 

We believe golf is priced too low for frequent play to be truly a self supporting amenity. There should be a green fee that is equitable and still produces reasonable revenue and encourages more play from the non-club members. Pricing 75 rounds at $750 means that one round costs only $10. A single round at $15 would produce 50% more revenue and bring out more non-club play. Reduced pay for greater play then could be set at a higher no. of rounds, say a 100 round bracket at $12 and a 150 round bracket at $10. The result would not likely reduce any play, rather increase it and increase the revenue commensurately.

125.

 

The course is in beautiful condition.

126.

 

The golf course is a community amenity. Greens are an integral part of the golf course and therefore should be on replacement reserves.

127.

 

We are new to Lake Wildwood and will reserve our opinion on some of the above until we get better familiar with the runnings of the Golf Course. Thank You

128.

 

fix what needs fixing leave the rest alone

129.

 

Yardage markers on driving range are VERY difficult to find or to relate to respective tee box. Use a stencil and put yardages, in paint, on each tee. Put signs up at holes 1 and 10---and scattered through course, telling golfers to play READY GOLF, to repair greens and divots, to use 90 degree rule unless no driving on course allowed, etc. Yes, these are mentioned in other places, but not well----course will be in far better shape if we post such signs, and enforce their use! Require EVERY cart to carry sand/seed---both rented and personal. Have such a sand/seed container on EVERY hole, and place it within EASY access for use. Marshals---DO SOMETHING---behond being a social job it is their responsibility to keep folks moving, and enforce our mandates

130.

 

We play elsewhere since we are not really good yet, however, look forward to someday golfing once in awhile on LWW course. We like to take our time golfing and my husband feels rushed since we are not experts. Someday!

131.

 

Some areas seem over watered.

132.

 

The fairways are contoured to suit the male golfers and are too narrow at crucial spots for the average female who gets caught in the rough too often, particularly on 1, 7 and 17.

133.

 

Golf cart path #13 & 14 need to be replaced ASAP, they present a health and safety issue. All of the greens need to be replaced. I would like to see stone bridges oveer the creeks.

134.

 

If greens need replacement, entire membership should be responsible, not just golfers.

135.

 

Once past the sand trap on the right on # eight cafts should be allowed to move out on the fairway. Sand in bunkers should be consistant on all holes.

136.

 

The pricing structure between 9 hole players and 18's is unfairly slanted to the benefit of the 18 hole players.

137.

 

This course is the best value for the money and other courses cannot compare, although our greens need to be rebuilt. The maintainence department does a great job!

138.

 

Practice tee boxes on the driving range need to be improved/replaced. Any thought given for better separation between between the driving range and fairway #1? I have no idea(s) to help here.

139.

 

The golf course has been it's best this year. I'd like to commend the staff for the fine job they do.

140.

 

Would like to see the women's tees moved up so that the course does not play so long for women. Closing the driving range at 5:30 during the summer hours is too early. More ladies clothes in size 12, 14

141.

 

The fairways are kept too wet all year...I get very little roll....mud on the ball even in the middle of summer!?

142.

 

Cart paths on holes 13 and 14 should be fixed.

143.

 

We are satisfied with the golf course

144.

 

I like the course because 1) it has a great layout in a wonderful area, 2) the overall yearly condition is satisfactory, and 3) the cost is undeniably low. I am unsatisfied however because, despite what the Board and most of the Golf Committee want us to believe, it could be in much better condition and considered a very good course with minimum additional cost and a better greenskeeper. I have played golf in Northern California for 57 years and I can assure you the Lake Wildwood is not considered a good course by regular golfers. I hadn't even heard of it until friends of mine moved here in 1995. In it's present condition it only adds about 50% of its potential impact to property values. Good golfers are simply not attracted to Lake Wildwood.

145.

 

I question the advantage of 5 players vs foursomes

146.

 

It would be beneficial to allow non-member golf access during off peak times. in the past when we've let friends stay at our home, golfers would pay up to $80 + cart fee to golf while staying at LWW.

147.

 

Renters sould not be ablae to play.

148.

 

Our course looks great in relationship to many of the couses we have played.

149.

 

take a good look at the expense side.Too many employees.

150.

 

The entire community needs to realize that the golf course adds value to everyone's property, not just the golfer's, and maintaining a high quality golf course is in everyone's best interest.interest.golfer's; and

151.

 

Some fairways are over-grown with trees or tree branches. This cannot be the original design or intent.

152.

 

Greens need to be rebuilt within the next five years. A gradual implementation of the Golf Master Plan would also be benificial to the qualitiy of golf as well as home values of all residents.

153.

 

very happy we are not allowing renters to play on their own..

154.

 

Satisfied for what we are paying.

155.

 

From the other courses I've played their watering system is much better and the fairways and greens are in very good condition along with being nice and green without brown spots or areas looking bare. One course I played used the Torro 730 series sprinkler heads. I tell you this for reference only to compare what we are using.

156.

 

We're giving away golf with the no points after four and 1/2 pt for 9 hole groups...take those away and more golfers would go for the unlimited golf. Allow tenants to play golf, this would bring in more revenue with little impact on the course.

157.

 

res system preferences daily golf users vs occasional users

158.

 

Wish we could get our preferred T times

159.

 

All golfers could do a better job or repairing divots on the course. Even golfers with handicap flags should not drive completely up to greens. Course maintained well by the superintendent and his crew.

160.

 

Maintenance workers not always aware of golfers and golfing etiquette.

161.

 

keep up the good work and don't try to change much of the course only to suit the very few low handicap players

162.

 

Keep up the good work.

163.

 

do not like the forward tees on 15 and 7. We need more marshals on the weekends

164.

 

Golf carts need upgrading to better represent our community to its visitors and prospective new residents. A modest price increase is recommneded to accompany that upgrade to reflect market rates. for cart rentals.

165.

 

We are getting too old and the dues are getting too high. Only 1 of us is playing this year because of the increased cost. Health problems have also decreased the amount of play. We used to play 2 or more times each week if we were not on vacation.

166.

 

well kept course

Keep it like it is. No need to have a Pebble Beach

168.

 

Love the instructional facility and Jim's lessons

169.

 

In comparison to most other courses I have played this course is excellent.

170.

 

I feel that the course is maintained satisfactorily bur there is always room for improvement. Too many very wet spots. Cart paths updated. Many of the chewed up spots on the side of the paths are from the maintenance vehicles as they move about they need to be told to be more aware of this. Since the cypres trees have been cut down 200, 150, 100, 50 yard posts could be used for yardage markers. I think that would loof OK. Maitain the area around the pro shop better with better planting, hose down the deckand, walkways, dreving range pade and cement. Put tees in all the mats on the driving range so you do not have to lift one mat to get a tee for a lefty side. Put water in the club cleaners and get a few more club cleaners that work. Put new cement in the area by the ball machine to save a law suit from someone triping in that area. Put cement on the path from the clubhouse to the north side of the pro shop, it is all gravel and it looks like heck. Cary that cement pathway around by the putting green to the approach to the south side of the pro shop and get rid of the gravel and do some nice planting by the porch of the pro shop. This is all cosmetic but it is better then looking like a hay seed operation. Make a pond out of the creek on number eight and rock in the sides of it to about the area that is marked out by the hazard stakes. Do the same with the pond on number twelve, rock the sides in to keep the bank better and give the pond a nice look. Keep working with the greens. They looked pretty good this summer. It is tough to grow grass here but with a little extra effort we might not have to replace greens. On the tees, a little more sand and seed and watering and over seeding like they do out in the desert could help keep the tee boxes kooking good. Some education of all of us to fill our divots on all of the course could help our course a lot.

171.

 

email or phone call confirmation once a tee time is accepted.

172.

 

Do not like 5 somes on course

173.

 

difficult and long course for the average woman golfer

174.

 

The golf course should support itself

175.

 

Leave the course as it is. Nothing wrong with it.

176.

 

Too expensive to play in LWW

177.

 

Driving range should have cleaner balls. We should be able to drive from the "grass" at least once a week.

178.

 

Not now

179.

 

None

180.

 

Wish there was a way to allow renters to play and not interfer with owner's play. Should generate additional revenue with minimal impact to the owners and course.

181.

 

promotion of golf lessons for juniors in the bit's and pieces

182.

 

Guest fees and Cart fees are too high and not competitive with other facilities in the area (Ridge, Auburn Valley Country club, Dark Horse). We could get more revenue from guests with competitive guest fees.

183.

 

Ken Wolford is Awesome! Hope you're giving him a raise this year, he deserves it!

184.

 

Cart paths on holes 13,14 still need repair and supposedly it is scheduled, but I'll believe it when I see it done !!!!!! We will be extreemly disappointed/upset if it doesn't happen !!!

185.

 

Maximum number of players in a group should be 4.

186.

 

Get rid of the fivesomes.

187.

 

Really like the practice areas!

188.

 

Would like to see the 9-hole rate equal to 50% of the 18-hole rate. Also, a twilight rate should be enacted. Also, a round should be defined as 18 holes, thereby, 9 holes constituting half a round. Also, I am of the opinion that rentors should be allowed to play LWW at the guest rate.

189.

 

Hole #14 should be a par 5. Move the tees back 50 yards. Hole #17 should be a par four. Remove the fairway cross bunker. Improve the quality and quantity of the sand in the sand traps.

190.

 

My most important concern is the golf course maintenance staff and the management of that staff. It seems the staff has little or no experience in using the heavy equipment used many times each year to Aireate the course. It seems that everytime the do it, they destroy the greens more that necessary. This is always bad operation of the equipment in which they damage a green because some piece of gear was not adjusted right or whatever. After runing one green, they continue on to the next green and proceed to damage it by riping up the turf or spilling oil, etc. It is my believe that the Golf Course Maintenience Manager, Ken Wolford is responsible for all of this damage, as it is his responsibility to hire, train, and supervise all golf course maintenience people. It is clear that the lower level employees do not have the training or experience they need to do the job correctly. Every year there is always some new damage and it does not seem to be getting any better.

191.

 

Too many people jammed on the course. It isn't fun to play, so I go elsewhere.

192.

 

close golf course on Mondays to keep the grounds in good shape. They need a rest.

193.

 

Every lot owner should contribute to the yearly maintenance budget other than just replacement reserve funds. All property owners benefit from having a lst class golf course.

194.

 

Some weekends the marshall does not do enough to keep play moving; otherwise, we are very happy with course management and maintenance.

195.

 

allow renters to pay the premium for golf course use to help ensure the facilities are well funded and kept affordable for all to use.

196.

 

please stop cutting the trees

197.

 

Keep the cost down or there will be fewer players.

198.

 

I would like to see the greens cut shorter.

199.

 

Golf course should be more available for open play rather than club activites and tournaments

200.

 

Greens needs to be replaced; Fairways need to be removed and replaced with more undulation; additional sand traps need to be added. Golf cart paths need to be replaced on 14, 15; repair other exisitng cart pathways. Remodel existing bathrooms on golf course; club house men's room needs to be remodeled.

201.

 

The golf pro shop should have some protein/snack bars for purchase. The Food cart should have a better supply of drinks, sandwiches and snacks and should come around more often. It could be a money maker if there was some considence. Many times the card doesn't even have sandwiches.

202.

 

most greens could use some improvements

203.

 

We object to renters using golf course in place of owners.

204.

 

Do not cut trees on #3 tee.

205.

 

The golf course is way too wet. Why is hole #8 blocked off from cart use? Is it because it is too wet? The tee blocks should be moved each day to help keep the tee area in good condition. Why, when outside play (tournaments) occurs, can hole #8 fairway be allowed to take carts out on fairway when members normally cannot?

206.

 

We must put more money into our infrastucture (greens) and improvement projects if we are to remain viable in the future.

207.

 

Easier this year to maintain with lack of rounds played.

208.

 

it is very outstanding, do not have to spend lots of dollars for no reason

209.

 

I don't like to make "time" 6 days ahead for the for the Ladies club

210.

 

I wish that mmbers who pay each time they play could pay once a month. Tally in office and pay monthly instead of every time.

211.

 

Fairway too wet- wider fairways

212.

 

do not like the positions of the new black tee boxes. Why can't carts go on hole #8?

213.

 

some bunkers have to little sand and some to much, no 4 tee box has been a work in (very little) progress for years. Course is generally well maintained. Hate teeing off on number ten every other Monday

214.

 

It is not broke, don't fix it!

215.

 

less golf carts per group

216.

 

Great golf course, too expensive for members

217.

 

Family members belong to private clubs elsewhere in the state and think LWW is an outstandi8ng course to play.

218.

 

Satisfied but moving in the right direction
