Losing one golfer thats causing issues in place of scaring multiple customers off is actually a very smart business decision. How about you go be the superintendent and see how long the greens stay alive. I have 25 yrs in golf course maintenance and a superintendent for 9 of that so i know what goes on that you have no clue about. Outside workforce is absolutely terrible. No one wants to work. No one shows up constantly. You can have a staff of 8 and you may have 4-5 show up. Pretty dang positive the island , brec courses and others are absolutely having that issue. The island deals with the worst people to pull from because of location. If you knew what goes on behind the scene, youd praise their efforts and not complain about a hole on the green. I absolutely guarantee that. I praise every person in golf course maintenance because the pay is low, the work is extremely hard and stressful and because of having to deal with people like you so whan you bash a golf course over something so small without asking questions first, i take it personally because golf maintenance is one big family even if the courses are competitors. Now, move on and go play golf and back off the guys and gals that give their all to give you a place to play on

just a golfer like you but I'm not spoiled or will bash over something so small. i understand the golf business behind the scenes

don't play the island then if you're that mad about it. sounds like if that's the biggest complaints then they're doing a good job out there. have you asked why? maybe they're having employee problems. maybe they're putting other things on the priority list to have a golf course for golfers to play on while they get though whatever is going on. just a thought

cancel the broom. greens are fine.

the island punched big 1/2" holes 17 days ago. its expected to be a little bumpy and slow.

Jim Moore also said he understands he won't see a return on his investment which is why you won't see a new golf course built anytime soon. It does help he's using an existing trac for half the course but it's still a total rebuild. Golf is super busy right now but the cost of everything has gone up so much that the extra play is really just making up most of the difference in expenses which is great but none of these golf courses are getting rich so making it worth spending millions to build a new course or do a full redo unfortunately isn't happening.

Beaver Creek is the standard of very good public golf conditions so it's hard to put anyone up against them and say they're better than beaver. The Island is a better money value for public golf around BR. Course conditions are fine at the Island. They did just solid tine greens Monday.

They are doing a good job out there at coppermill. nice fun golf course. love the 6 6 6 design

I'm glad someone here understands how the maintenance side is going these days. just because in a pro shop guys eye it can be done doesn't mean that golf courses can actually do it.

You're were not helping SM or anyone else with your comments so dont get on me anout what im saying. You were putting everyone down in this industry that isn't setup like your course. Theres a dozen cousres in the BR area that you feel should be at a standard that isn't achievable for everyone because you dont know anyone's situation but yours. We all help one another in the maintenance departments. Proshop staff always oversteps their boundaries just like you did in this thread. If you dont help maintenance on the course here or there then you dont need to be suggesting how we should be doing our jobs. You're known to do this often.

I glad you brought that up. I never thought about going to the GM for more money ???????. How could i not think of that?

Again, you're not comparing apple to apples. There's 4 courses around BR that have way more money than all the others and you're at one of them. Stay in your lane. The funny part is ive heard your members tell our proshop staff our greens rolled better than your new so called fancy greens and we're just a small speck in the BR golf sea compared to everyone else
