1.

Put more sand in sand traps.

2.

There are several areas of fairways that over watered & uderwatered. There are some fairways that to me should not be closed to cart traffic. The grass in fairways & around greens is not cut the same. There lots of areas in the fairways that are lacking uniform grass, which causes bad lies to play from.

3.

Don't mow so short allowing the grass to brown. More watering.

4.

Golf coarse superintendent does not understand golf. Any experience that he now has, he has gained on the job and we have paid for it. Specific complaints - when he was asked about re-painting the stripes on the cart paths, he said that it was too high a maintenance problem. Therefore the ladies 18 & 9 wholers did it. - we paid to have the coarse surveyed and the sprinkler heads marked for yarded. As the sprinkler heads have been replaced the new heads have not been marked with the yardage. - when the Italian cypres trees where removed from the coarse and we lost the 150 yard markers, we asked to have something else put in to mark the 150 yard point. Searching for yardage distances slows down a round of golf. - we now have 4x4 posts installed around the 8th green to protect new grass seed. Does he care that several/many people have hit the posts or ropes when hitting to the green. Did anyone think about putting in sod like they did on the 3rd whole?

5.

The LWW Golf Course is paying for 2 people to maintain the grounds and clubhouse, that should be paid by the Association. The LWWA is paying for maintenance of two on-course toilets. This should be paid for and/or maintained by the golfers. A previous agreement caused this imbalance.

6.

Overwatering for instance on the right of the 6th green there is standing water and ruts. This may be more a function of an outdated watering system instead of poor planning on the sprinkler system.

7.

See comments in question #15

8.

Review watering practices on course some areas over watered.

9.

Why a three hour frost delay when one hour would do it?

10.

Sand traps need to be more consistently filled, some are shallow, some are deep, some are fluffy, some are hard.

11.

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!! Why do golfers only foot the bill for maintaining the grounds around the Association Offices and Clubhouse? These are not related to the Golf (Self Supporting Amenity) should be paid for by all association Members just like our other parks!! s

12.

The course condition continues to improve every year.

13.

Q. 18 is really N/A

14.

It appears they do a lot of maintenance on the lady niners Tuesday morning. It could be moved around a bit more than it is.

15.

Practice area needs regular ball pick up and better maintenance or replacement of tee area. The artificial turf has not held up as expected and was a waste of money.

16.

let teeing grounds grass grow to prox. 2in. high. Mow shoter for the tee off area where the tee markers will be placed. This might help overall growth of grass.

17.

I can't fault the maintenance staff or supervision -- they put the course into tip top condition for major tournaments. We need more staff so the course is always in tip top condition.

18.

Parking lot and around proshop and restaurant landscape needs help

19.

?

20.

Too many holes closed to carts. Need more fertilizer and top dressing to produce thicker grass. Not enough attention paid to repairing bare spots which have been prevelant for way too long!!

21.

See #15 & #17. When the grass is mowed (fairways & rough) why can't the "cart" signs be moved around? What's their purpose? With the total disregard for these signs that we've seen by golfers, we ought to just get rid of them anyway. The watering in some areas of the course is unbelievable. From overwatering to no water in some areas. Some areas have permanent "NO CARTS" signs (that golfers disregard anyway) where the ground and grass look better than other areas where the ground is so saturated and soggy, you can't even walk there. The sand in the bunkers has got to be the worst sand I have ever seen.

22.

The left side on the 15th fairway next to the cart path is total hardpan and receives negligible watering. If your ball lands in that area (and many players end up there) it scratches your golfclub because of the hard and rocky surface.

23.

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?

24.

Maybe a little less attention to yournaments for guests and more for the daily people who are paying for this

25.

Ken Wolford and his staff do an outsanding job on the golf course....They are to be commended

26.

The greens were in excelleny shape right before the Tournament but lately they seem to be getting rougher.

27.

As a whole, the golf course is kept in good condition.

28.

Overall-generally too wet - do not believe that much irigation is needed. Course would be much easier for the average golfer to play with a little RUN on the ball.

29.

Find a way to prevent wheel ruts along paths. This problem really degrades the impression of the course upkeep

30.

They do very good work!!

31.

Why are #10 and #8 always closed ,if it's a turf problem, fix it.

32.

A maintenance trouble team should be available any time there are golfers on the course. E.G., during a Sunday tournament, a decaying dead deer smelled up the entry to the course/clubhouse, and no one was available to remove it.

33.

Surprisingly WELL maintained considering the summer heat & this being a mountain course!

34.

I feel that Ken Wolford and his crews do a great job of keeping the course in good condition.

35.

The few times I've played, the golf course looked good.

36.

Maintain decent sand in bunkers, including practice bunker.

37.

I would like to see the "opening" i.e. fareways widened on 12 and 17 so the shorter hitters have a chance to get on the green once in a while.

38.

There are several beginner golfers that would benefit from the rubber tees being in better shape on the driving range. More size options would help as we learn.

39.

keep yardage markers painted on cart paths

40.

The course receives too much fairway water throughout the summer. Fairways are always too wet, particularly landing areas for tee shots!

41.

Ken is a knowleable superintendent but a poor manager. The golf course is in great shape this year because we have not had alot of hot weather. However there are meny spots that get too much water and many areas that get very little. the sprinkler system needs to be updated.

42.

Ken does a great job!

43.

1. REPAIR WATERLOGGED AREA ON RIGHT OF 6TH GREEN ,BELOW SAND TRAP.

44.

the course is well maintained considering the large amount of play and the number of golfers.

45.

drainage on parts of the course is terrible

46.

Supervision of maintenance and upkeep of the course is weak. No apparent reason for cutting/planting trees --- inconsistant watering plan.

47.

The landscaping around the pro shop needs major landscaping improvements ~ redo lawn, add flowers, plants, etc.

48.

Seems like most of the watering and mowing is done on Tuesday mornings.

49.

Bare areas need to be seeded or soded. Otherwise very good maintenance.

50.

They do a great job given the age of the course and the amount of play the course gets

51.

Before removing trees from the golf course..more thought before action.

52.

See #14. Golf Superintendent needs to be managed more hands on. I suggest he be placed on a performance incentive/improvement plan. Give him specific items quarterly and reward him or guide him according to his willingness to perform those specific assigned tasks. His management skills are lacking. He has displayed an unwillingness to listen to input from others. Therefore, more direction needs to come from his manager with user committee's input. We need someone with direct golf course management experience to take charge of all golf operations. We may need a new level of management to coordinate: golf maintenance, golf operations, pro shop, practice areas, and clubhouse as it relates to golf. These ongoing issues need to come to solution.

53.

Course is in bad shape ! Some of the greens are very bad.

54.

Lines should be painted on the cart paths by the maintenance crew. 150 yard markers should be visible. Greens in better shape on a year around basis.

55.

We are not allowed on #1,#8, and #4 no matter what the weather. Very annoying.

56.

We haven't lived in LWW since 2001.

57.

none

58.

maintenance workers do a good job. They stay out ofthe way, but still get the work done.

59.

see 15

60.

inconsistent rough especially around the greens; fairway grass too long

61.

Ken and his team do a very good job. We need to continue to invest in the Golf master Plan.

62.

See # 15

63.

If our "Golf leaders" would visit other courses in the area it would be fairly obvious that we are sub standard here

64.

would like to know results from greens review from golf professional once its completed, believe any new greens should be paid for by all members

65.

Members need to take better care of the course. Divots are unfilled, pock marks unattended on the greens. Pin placement should be more varied.

66.

The existing markers need to be maintained. Tee boxes for all black tees finished.

67.

There are always ruts where the maintenance vehicles drive off the cart paths.

68.

None

69.

Happy with the maintenance of the course. ( It would be nice if the ball washers had a little soap or other cleaning solutions)

70.

we spend too much money for what we get. the management doesn't listen. when they do damage to the course they don't fix it in an expeditious manner.

71.

I wish they wouldn't water he greens every Tuesday morning for niners golf

72.

Course is always in very nice shape for invitationals

73.

n/a

74.

The course is beautiful and in good shape.

75.

too many soggy spots and too many barren spots

76.

Lack of dierctional and yardage markings, inconsistent sand, and general course comfort improvements.

77.

I think Ken does a good job. Every one is not always going to be happy with what he is doing, but all in all good job. Do we want green fairways or do we want roll? I choose roll, but you don't get fired for green fairways.

78.

Putting greens should be mowed on Tuesdays. Frost delays monitored closer for additional playing times.

79.

Why are some holes i.e. number 8 closed for cart traffic most of the time.?

80.

Concentrate of course playability rather than lush grass and waterlogged fairways and greens. Mark Ground under repair on a weekly frequency. Fill bunkers behind greens per master plan to save money. Replace greens 3,8 and 9. This would reduce maintenance cost and increase playability. Take down the permanent barrier in front of the 8th green. This is a rediculous obstacle that serves NO purpose.

81.

Overall, the Golf Course Superintendent, Ken Wolford, and his staff, does an excellent job and we are proud of our course.

82.

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

83.

Some infrastructure needs rennovation: Steps/retaining wall on hole 9 and Lookout stand on hole 18 are several examples

84.

leave him alone

85.

We like to come over to the golf area and putt and practice hitting the balls. The greens look nice. The few times I have golfed on LWW course I thought it was well maintained..

86.

In the summer there are areas of the course that receive excessive water ie.front of greens and some fairways.

87.

They have always helped and been alert to our needs.

88.

Ken and his crew do a great job!

89.

None at this time.

90.

They do a wonderful job!

91.

New black tees on hole 7 is in a poor location for women

92.

The golf course has been kept in good shape other than being too wet, but that isn't the fault of the maintenance crew.

93.

Hard hats should be worn by all maintainance workers in harms way.

94.

consider less in the winter

95.

Maintain all "brown " areas near fairways

96.

The greens are terrible. They don't hold good shots hit into them on a consistent basis. Ths speed of the greens is not consistent and can vary even hole to hole on a given day. I am convinced that the current greenskeeper is not capable of maintaining a course in top condition. He came from a public course and I believe that that is where he should be. If we want a golf course that is considered a top rate golf course and one that other golfers want to play, thus improving our property values commensurately, we need to get a greenskeeper who has the skills and desire to accomplish it. It is inconsiveable to expect a greenskeeper who doesn't even play golf on a regular basis to know how his course is playing.

97.

I wonder the need to have the fairway on hole 8 permanently closed to carts

98.

concerned about fertilzer runoff into the lake.

99.

Ken does a yeoman's job on the course ... ( my only criticism of him is that he has taken out some old growth trees ... their removal has not improved the green or tee box), otherwise he has my almost 100% support. The greens crew are friendly & seem to enjoy their jobs (Does mgmt beat them or drug them ??? seriously ... it's refreshing to see ).

100.

Too many emplyees in the winter? maybe some partime help as needed.

101.

Why is golf course maintenance charged with the entire clubhouse grounds, when the funds come from only golf?

102.

Why are there "special" events. This restricts the use of people that don't have time to join the special privileged groups.

103.

To me it looks like more watering is required.

104.

Keep up the good work

105.

Course is too wet on some holes, your ball shouldn't be plugging in the summer time. Why can't the greens be rolled during the year, not just when there is a tournament? Still holes out on the course that are covered by tall grass.

106.

It is in better shape at different times, not always depending on the time of the year. For the most part it is an enjoyable course.

107.

You can cut back on maintenance in the winter mon ths

108.

Grass areas not getting watered. Standing water in other places. Has been better this year. Sometimes irregularly cut grass. Greens and tees in poor share sometimes--also getting better this year.

109.

well cared for - good job

110.

I think that a good job was done this summer with water and mowing. Some guys felt that the course was too wet but they bitch when it is too brown. There are some that never will be satisfied and to them I say go join Peble Beach. Ken and the crew are great they just have too mamy bosses. Let the man do his job and if we do not like things then letr the General Manager know in a constructive way and after a fair evaluatuion keep or fire the course superintendant. I think that in winter overseeding with rye grass or some other type of seed could look good and give some uniform roll to the ball.

See comment #15

115.

During routine maintenance they should mow/go in the counter clockwise direction so that they provide minimal interferance with the players, generally they go in the same direction.

116.

Bunkers are not all the same; texture of sand, depth and lips on quite a few bunkers are impossible to get out of.

117.

There is too much Bermuda grass, especially in the rough near the greens.

118.

I've already made a comment about the golf course maintenance.

119.

Make sure workers wear hard hats at all times when working while play is going on. Put protective screens up in front of workers to guard against a golf ball coming nearing them and so they may continue working while play is going on rather than stopping work every few minutes which is a waste of time.

120.

If you have to cut trees lets put back bigger trees

121.

Water the brown spots more.

122.

Satisfied

123.

Workers to be more aware of the golfters and to stop doing what they are doing when we are addressing our ball or putting.

124.

Course is too wet.

125.

More money in operations.

126.

Sand traps not maintained (fill with sand) Weeds everywhere. Greens in good shape this year.

127.

oak tree on #1 green no good

128.

Fairways too wet Make Golf more user friendly.

129.

please don't close the range on Thursday 11 to 2

130.

Ken and staff does a good job
