Looked forward to it, but left frustrated and disappointed
Pinon Hills Golf Course的点评
点评:I need to divide the review into course and experience as the 3/5 is a composite of both
1. It is a reasonably priced nice course. The tee boxes, fairways, and greens are in excellent shape. It plays very well. Layout is interesting and facilities in general great. The pro shop seemed nice and planned to visit after my round but then didn’t (see number two). Design a bit odd with back to back par 5s ant the end of the front 9. Only course complaint was the cart experience. The cart functioned ok but GPS was unhelpful and annoying. The screen is out behind the cup holders aomif you have a drink you can’t see it so not real helpful. Worse, it has one of those cart micromanaging features where if you drive somewhere you shouldn’t (like in the middle of the fairway 75 yards in front of the green) it will shut the cart down and tell you of being in a forbidden area. If the boundaries made sense it would be one thing, but often they didn’t., and there was no way to know you were there until it shut down the cart. I hate this annoying control freak tactics 4/5 for the course overall
2. The experience was awful. Played midafternoon on a Tuesday. Course a combinations of doubles, triples and a few foursomes. Pace was awful. No player assistant. No one watching. I was in a twosome. At 4 hours we had played 14 holes and there was no indication of Improvement coming. Finally left in frustration. I can see a five hour round when it is all foursomes, but wasn’t the number of players but the languid manner they played. The twosome in front of use were sharing clubs. A small effort by the course could have made a difference 1/5 for experience
I know it is a highly rated course that is reasonably priced, but I don’t think I would come back again to play
翻译:我需要将评价分为球场和体验两部分,因为3/5的评分是两者综合考量的。
1. 这是一个价格合理的优质球场。发球台、球道和果岭都维护得非常好。球场体验很棒。布局很有意思,设施总体来说也很棒。职业商店看起来不错,我本来打算打完球后去逛逛,但后来没去(见第二点)。球场设计有点奇怪,前九洞的末尾是连续两个五杆洞。我对球场唯一不满的地方是球车体验。球车本身功能正常,但GPS导航既不实用又很烦人。屏幕在杯架后面,如果你手里拿着饮料就看不到,所以导航功能不太好用。更糟糕的是,它还有一个那种控制欲很强的“微管理”功能:如果你把球车开到不该去的地方(比如果岭前方75码的球道中间),它就会自动关闭球车,并提示你进入了禁区。如果边界划分合理,那倒也罢了,但通常都不合理,而且直到球车停止行驶,你都不知道自己已经到了边界。我讨厌这种令人恼火的控制狂策略,球场整体评分4/5。
2. 体验糟糕透了。周二下午打球。球场上既有双人组,也有三人组,还有一些四人组。节奏慢得要命。没有球员助理,也没有人监督。我和另一位球员一组。四个小时过去了,我们打了14个洞,但丝毫没有进步的迹象。最后,我沮丧地离开了。如果都是四人组,五个小时的比赛时间我可以理解,但问题不在于球员人数,而在于他们打球的懒散态度。我们前面那组两人组竟然共用球杆。球场稍加改进就能有所改善,体验评分1/5。
我知道这是一个评价很高、价格也合理的球场,但我应该不会再来了。
