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 |
|

|
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 |
|
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. |

|
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 |
|
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, |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
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. |

This
course is the best value for the money and other courses cannot compare,

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 |

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. |

Some

for what we are paying. |

|
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. |

|
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. |

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

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. |

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. |

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 |
|

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. |

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. |
|

do not like the positions of the new
