thats just crazy... you shoulda took a bunch of pics... thats ghetto golf at its finest!
what were the greens fees?

Here's their website: http://legrc.com/
Don't let the pictures fool you, because that's not how it was when we played haa haa. Green fees were about $40/person including cart. But their prices are off as well. The BF and I had a buy 1 get 1 free GREEN FEE ONLY and had to pay for 2 riders and it came out to $60.

It was horrible. It wasn't even worth me taking pictures of and we'll never be back!!

I also forgot to mention, they were missing the different colored flags. The flags in the pins were all yellow with the hole # on them, so you couldn't tell if it was in the front, the middle or the back!!

My vote would be River View Golf Club in Santa Ana... now that place is ghetto. most of the holes go back and forth over this "river" which is like a couple foot wide creek. Most of the fairways were dirt with these rocks in the middle, and most of the time you couldn't even tell where the hole you were aiming at was. The tee box for hole 3 is really close to the hole of number 2. And number 2 is a par three. There is this weak little net that tries to provide some protection, but my friend hit a slightly errant tee shot on 2 that ended up hitting someone at the tee box on 3. Then when I was standing on 3 getting ready to tee off, a ball lands 6 inches from my feet. And you can't hear anyone yell fore because there is a little league game going on from the other side of hole 2... needless to say, I am never playing there again!

That's where I learned how to play golf! My father took me there to teach me the game throughout my early to mid teens.

It is definitely a 'starter' course, located in a diverse part of town with diverse players. It was a 9-hole course when I started and slowly increased to 18 over a number of years. TwoSolitudes description is entirely accurate: swamps, mosquitoes, beer cans, shirtless players, rock-hard dirt tee-boxes.

The green maintenance was the funniest part for me. They didn't have the proper equipment to professionally cut the greens, so on occasion they would bring out was looked like a giant rolling pin to flatten the long grass and make a more puttable flat surface. It was run by a very nice old couple who, last time I visited, were still working 7 days a week collection green fees. The 'club house' was actually the living room of their home.

Just horrible, but I also had a lot of good times there learning how to play the game.

You still play there ever? I will be in Halifax this September and was thinking of going back for old times. Was it still old man Rex running it? He must have handed it over to one of his sons by now.

and how can you live in Halifax and be a Dophins fan? Go Pats!

Ruchill muni course in Glasgow, 9 hole. It's now closed.

First time I played, the 'flag' for the 1st hole was a tree branch with a beer can stuck on the end.

Bays Mountain. No cart paths. I have seen people drive on the green and putt polo style. We call it the goat ranch. I have lost balls in the fairway. The clubhouse is a cinderblock building next to an algae infested swimming pool. They are overpriced to top it off.

I've got one!!

Me, the BF and Sacul were playing at Lake Elizabeth Country Club a few weeks ago. Its horribly the worst course we've played at and we all had our hopes up for this one!! Its a country club, so we thought it had to at least be great, right? NOPE!!!

They didn't have fairways, their fairways were rough. It seemed like they didn't mow in a while, same with the greens. Lots of dead spots, tons of dry panned areas, horrible. When you tee off, you can't even find a flat spot in the "grass" to tee off from and your foot always seemed to be in a dip. It was bad, we all shot bad that day and the price, the price was too much for what it was. Even if it was free, we wouldn't play there!!

We should've known. It all started with the lack of military discount that was advertised on their website. Then, it was the photo copied score cards, then the very dusty/dirty golf carts with cob webs all over them, to the range buckets that were beach buckets for sand. It was just BAD!!!

I just saw this thread and was going to post the SAME THING, but I see GC has beaten me to it. Everything she has said is 100% accurate, and to call this place a golf course is a disgrace to golf. Absolutely, hands down the worst golf facility I've ever been at, by far!

Anyone who lived in S Florida (Hollywood/Ft Lauderdale area) knows Oak Ridge Golf Course.....True cow pasture...Fairways were rock hard and full of weeds...Greens were even harder...They watered the fairways twice a week max, even in the summer....And they never aerated the greems in the 10 years I played there.... Clubhouse was very old and had that old, musty smell....Good bar though....Never any rangers....In the busy season (winters) they were packed with canadian snowbirds from Montreal because of the very cheap fees....In winter 5 1/2 hour rounds were the norm...The course is gone, a housing development is there now...It was a shame because it was a good layout with some really nice holes, just wasn't taken care of....Older guys told me is was a great place in it's prime...Second worse is also in Hollywood: OrangeBrook Golf Club a 36 hole city owned goat ranch....
