Rate of Play

The course itself is very nice and really enjoyed playing there, especially once you get to the 5th hole. Having said that the rate of play was horrible. Had a group of 4 playing ahead of me and they were sharing two sets of clubs and would drive on the greens. Got tired of sitting in the cart for 15 minutes before I could tee off so I left. I could understand if it was a busy day, but it really wasn’t.

Same Old Junk

Things have changed very little since my last review.
The course still looks pretty bad with dry hard packed fareways. There's also a plethora of drying and dead grass areas from excessive golf cart traffic. There no such thing as a 90 degree rule here, apparently. Hitting from most areas on the faraways reminds me of hitting from concrete. Your clubs bounce from almost every area.
A few yard markers have been added but much is still lacking. Ball cleaning stations are there but most don't work, and honestly, should be removed. Better management is absolutely needed here. Tee box hitting areas are hardly ever shifted around, so you often hit from a very uneven footing surface. Play at Los Lagos or Monte Cristo and you'll see the difference. Shame, this could be a good one with better management.

The fairways are in good condition. Being mowed at the time. The grass is starting to grow on the greens. Ball rolls better. Had a 6 person team in front to slow our pace of play

Incompetent management

In short: fair course, terrible management. Golf cart availability is first come first serve despite reserving tee time days in advance. We waited 30 minutes after our tee time for a staff member to ask if I needed a golf cart. When I was about to tee off, I had an older staff member approach me and ask with a violent and angry tone if I had anything to say to him. Turns out he believed I was part of a golf tournament taking place and took a golf cart out of order. We resolved his communication issue and then he resorted to apologizing many times there after. I reserved a tee time for 3 players and 2 golf carts, however, due to the managements inability to handle the tournament, we were left sharing one golf cart between 3 players. Highly disappointed with the outcome of this golf course and management.

poor management

We have golfed here many times. This year has been the worst managed,
1. Overbooking, we had made our tee time and when we arrived at the tee box there was 16 people ahead of us. The starter said that happens all the time. Why make tee times if the club house does not appear to follow any times.
2. No control or concerns about poor sportsmanship with golfers. There have been young adults deliberately abusive to the greens. They were doing donuts around the flag with the golf cart. We called the club house regarding this behavior and they acted like it was no big deal. Yes you could see tracks on the green.
3. Another time with a bunch of young adults: there was 8 in that group with three carts. Yes they were all riding the carts (three on two of them) They were slow, excessive drinking, driving carelessly and and no regards to anyone else trying to actually play golf.
4. Calling to make a tee time is almost impossible.

Layout

We enjoyed playing at Shary. Directions to-get there weren’t very good & it took us awhile to find the course. Found much easier way to get back home. It was a little difficult to find some tee boxes. Now that we have played there & gotten the feel of the layout will are ready to go back again.
