Just a heads up there is no water jugs on the golf course only the fountains at #5 and 12 and neither one of those fountains have enough pressure to drink. I quit after. 12

Was even par. Went to clubhouse and asked why no water

The answer made me laugh health concerns and fear of injury to maintenance crew picking up coolers. Amazing

The health concern thing I can understand but the injury to workers is ridiculous...I think it’s just they’re too lazy to properly clean them and keep them stocked.
Course really is in great shape though

They better think about their liability in the event a golfer suffers any hearth issues, John told me it’s been like that about 3 months

John is the older guy that works the counter, sometimes a little smug, never a really friendly guy,

I'm not sure I understand this. Health concerns??

All I know is that I played Webb yesterday afternoon and walked 18 (started after 5:30 and finished right at dark and it was still miserably hot) and found plenty of water jugs all around the course, as there always are. And as always, I saw a worker driving around a golf cart before it got dark to fetch the water jugs and bring them back to the shed for the night.

Webb and Beaver Creek both fall under the direction of the same entity (BREC) so it doesn't make sense that Beaver Creek can't have water jugs spread about the course.

They are too lazy to properly clean the jugs and shite is/will grow in them.

That's insane. How difficult can that task be? The fellas at Webb have it figured out. I've been drinking water from their coolers for the better part of 30 years and I'm still kicking...

This....and that people could put some kind of poison in a cooler since no one watches them. True story

I agree and same here but I was actually told that they are afraid of someone contaminating water either by accident or on purpose...there have been lawsuits from people getting sick from the ice and water being dirty. Not at brec but other places.
They keep them in locked containers at beaver so the only issue to me is the cleaning of the jugs, water source, and ice. Laziness and fear of lawsuits

Played today. Ole man they may have listened to you and given the water fountains some flomax because they had a nice strong stream. Also had a water cooler on 17 just in case.

Bandit, where is that?
