I've played here a couple of times out of pure convenience, but my last time playing here was something out of a horror movie.
Me and a friend were playing and we had a group in front of us (an old man and his grandson) off the first tee. Both were clearly "having a bad day". They refused to let us play through as we waited upwards of 5 minutes on every shot for the whole front 9. Called the front desk.. no answer.
Next was the maintenance crew (who are Anderson city workers since it is a city owned course). They were aerating the greens that day. Not a big deal.. until the crew aerating greens started following us green to green and would wait by each green with their gas engines blaring until we finished putting. RUDE!
After such a rough start to our golfing experience, my friend and I decided to grab a couple cold ones. We went to the pro shop and bought a 6 pack. The employee grabbed the 6 beers and put them on the counter... long awkward silence... When we asked for a cooler (which we shouldn't have had to do unless we were going to chug 3 beers each simultaneously) the employee looked discombobulated. Finally got a cooler but with no ice.
OK.. whatever. That's all behind us now. We've got our beers. Let's start a fresh 9... oh wait. The incompetent employee just sent a foursome off the back behind the grandpa and his grandson... and the foursome is EVEN WORSE than the grandpa and grandson.
My friend and I hit our tee shots on 10, but picked them up and skipped over to hole 12 to get past those 2 groups. After that it was smooth sailing.
The only reason this course doesn't get a 1 star is because it does have a couple of interesting holes and for a city owned course it's in decent shape, just showed up on the wrong day. read more
