点评:Long Bay used to be my favorite course in the area, but after the last round on December 23rd, I will not longer say that. I was completely disappointed with the course and the staff.
Understanding it is December, so most courses suffer a little bit, but this is more than just the weather. The course is absolutely not maintained the way it used to be.
Greens were not in good shape, but maybe that's the weather.
This time of year, good courses overseed to keep the fairways green. It seemed like they made half an effort to overseed - there appeared to be very little overseeding - just enough to look green from a distance, but not enough to provide ample grass to hit from.
The waste bunkers, which have always been an integral part of the course aesthetics, have apparently been completely ignored with respect to maintenance. Much of them have been completely overgrown by weeds and grass, and look absolutely terrible.
The gentleman at the bag drop in the morning was not very pleasant either. In the past, all the staff at this course have been polite and helpful. This guy was just flat rude. When we told him the club house told us to start on the back, he said no, they were only single teeing. When we insisted, he meandered up to the club house to check, and when he returned, scowled and snidely said "Merry Christmas" like he was doing us a great favor.
I played several courses all week, that were 20 dollars less per round, and the courses were in far better condition and the staff members were appreciative of our business.
Sorry, but it will be a long time before I come back to Long Bay.

我知道现在是12月,大多数球场都会受到一些影响,但这不仅仅是天气的原因。球场的维护状况远不如以前。
果岭状况不佳,但也许是天气的原因。
在这个季节,好的球场都会进行补播草籽以保持球道翠绿。但他们似乎只是敷衍了事——草籽少得可怜——只够远看绿一点,但根本不够长,无法提供足够的草皮供击球。
沙坑一直是球场美观的重要组成部分,但现在显然完全被忽视了。很多沙坑都杂草丛生,看起来糟透了。
早上在球包寄存处遇到的那位先生态度也不太好。过去,这家球场的所有工作人员都彬彬有礼、热情周到。但这人简直粗鲁至极。我们告诉他会所通知我们从后发球台开球,他却说不是,他们只开放单发球台。我们坚持后,他才慢悠悠地走到会所去确认,回来后一脸不悦,冷嘲热讽地说了句“圣诞快乐”,好像他给了我们天大的恩惠似的。
这周我打了好几个球场,每轮便宜20美元,球场状况也好得多,工作人员也都很热情周到。
抱歉,我恐怕很久都不会再来长湾球场了。
