re: At what point do you criticize a course?

I think it's fair to criticize a course if you are pay a premium price to play there and the conditions are not commensurate with the price and/or what is expected based on the historical quality of the club/course.
If you pay thousands upon thousands of dollars to be a member of a private country club and the conditions deteriorate but your cost to be a member obviously doesn't go down, you have a right to gripe.
If you exclusively play public courses and you don't research beforehand the conditions or typical quality of the course, that's on you. The only time I think criticism is warranted in this situation are those places that have just aerified and don't tell you beforehand and charge you the same full rate as normal. Those people are scum of the earth.
Also, I couldn't give two shits about beverage carts, clubhouses, food, etc. I go to a golf course to play golf. Just have some water out there and that's enough. I'd rather a club put all their captial into improving/maintaining the quality of the golf course than anything related to food/bev.
This. All of this.

Pace of play is most important to me, i'd pay a $50 premium if they can guarantee I save an hour. As for the course, greens are the only thing I really care about.

I criticize a course when I see just pure lack of effort. I understand the cost of course maintenance and lack of rain. However, when you have the tools available and are just being lazy, that drives me nuts.
As long as the pro and the workers are trying and willing to listen to complaints from members, I'm generally accepting of certain issues.

I agree. Like fences falling down, no sand in bottles, carts not cleaned out, limbs piled up at base of trees, cups not moved, trash cans overflowing, etc.

When they cut the sprinklers on mid round and slow up the greens after you paid more to play there.

For me it is based on price.
I can walk Webb for $17 so I don’t expect a whole lot. It does the job for the amount that I paid.
Now if I pay $150 and up to play, I expect a lot better from the course.

I usually criticize a course from the parking lot before I rip off a smooth 92
