Suncrest Golf & Grille

Suncrest is a very mature wooded course, to the point that some trees need to be cut back or removed to improve sight lines into holes. The course also needs to be maintained better in general. We were one the first groups off on a Sunday, and were rushed off 20 minutes early since all our players were there, and the two tee times before us were not all signed in yet. It was nice to be able to tee off earlier, but to get pushed by the starter to do so quicker was not needed. Also, all the carts were soaking wet, and the starter made no effort to dry any off for any group. All the tee boxes were littered with broken tees to the point that on some holes you needed to brush them away so you would not stand on them while teeing off. The fairways were in decent shape except for a few low swampy areas like in front of the 1st green that were roped off due to heavy rain the prior few days. The weather was also likely the cause of a tree down and a large branch blocking a cart path. In addition, we found some old signage from an outing blown down and lying on a tee box. The greens rolled slow and a couple had dead spots/disease on them. We saw no workers/mtce on the course at 7am like you do at many courses, and the over all condition of the course was reflective of this.

Condition of the course is great for how dry it’s been. Just a few greens need some tlc. Very slow pace of play w no Marshall in sight to push them. I mean the slowest pace ive seen in a while. Mowers have no etiquette at all.

Nice course, poor experience. Was told to keep up the pace 10 minutes after teeing off because it “took us too long to get on the green.” Talked to the guy behind us he was a single with a 8:50 tee time. It was 8:10. We let him play through and another single was behind him. Poor management.
