Cool experience for golfing to hang out with family or friends.
The food we ordered was alright. Could have been better.
Beautiful place.
Greens are nice
Do not sneak in at night and shoot around
This is now BigShots Golf. Alyssa at the bar is the best. Supper Friendly. She deserves extra tips.
Visited 20MAY2022 - 22MAY2022.
Played all three courses and stayed in an on property villa.
Every member of the staff I interacted with was extremely friendly.
The courses were in excellent condition. The Fazio and South courses are older courses. The North course is newer. Although the North course has significantly more water it was easier than both the Fazio and South courses.
The accommodations were spacious and excellent. The villas are perfect for a group of golfers as it has individual rooms, yet central rooms to socialize.
The restaurants were a bit pricey for the portion size and flavoring. The service is a bit slow due to being short staffed. The steak & egg breakfast burrito at the shack (outside the pro shop) is excellent. Unfortunately, on my day 2 they didn't make any. The excuse was they don't sell many. Huh? It's the first item on the menu. I waited 30 min. for them to make more. When the steak & egg burritos were done they were actually made on English muffins. The egg was over easy, which I like, but I was expecting scrambled, like the previous morning. Also, the steak was replaced with the previous night's pot roast. Save it to say I was disappointed.
Lastly, our group had a single fore caddy each round who also helped with bunkers and on the green. I'm not used to playing with a caddy so I have my practices that make me comfortable. My group had the same caddy for two rounds. I didn't feel this caddy was appropriate for the caliber of Firestone. Specifically, I didn't appreciate this caddy marking and picking up my ball on the green before I had a chance to see the putt. Others in my group had v the same concern. I had to tell this caddy to discontinue that practice. Besides, USGA rule 14.1b indicates that only the player can mark their ball unless you authorize someone to do so. And, that authorization must occur each time. I'm used to reading my own putts workout input. Unsolicited input only serves to enter doubt into my read. This caddy would stand in front of me to block my view as I was reading my putt and would step on everyone's line while reading putts for others. Lastly, there were several times when this fore caddy failed to remember where tee shots that didn't make the fairway ended up. The purpose of the fore caddy is to speed up play. Our group was behind 15 - 30 minutes each round. Overall great courses, great accommodations, average dining, poor caddying.
