The State Am BR Qualifier is once again at Santa Maria in 10 days. Played there this week and its not fit for that in the least. Bear spots on greens, questionable tees, and the bunkers are an absolute joke.

Why cant they move this to another course in the area? Surely UClub or CCLA could spare a Monday morning to host Championship style golf. Ellendale, Southern Trace and Bayou Desiard all host a Q round.

The non qualifiers who end up paying $200 to play that goat farm will be miffed for more than one reason.

I think you're overrating the level of championship a state am qualifier is. You can always sign up for a different qualifier and travel to Lafayette or NOLA for it.

What does that have to do with a course being in terrible condition?

Why would it cost more? I've already outlined that clubs with Similar if not more expensive guest fees are a part of the Q round. Feels more like just going with the status quo.

Hell, Bayou Desiard and Southern Trace are hosting on a Saturday and Friday respectively. I've talked to the LGA guys before and they way its done is the price they pay per round doesn't vary, Every course gets the same. More likely what's happening is Santa is being over paid and providing sub par conditions.
