It's time to build houses on this property so more NASCAR flags can be flown in Bartlett. Had a tee time yesterday and went to pay with a coupon (half price after 11am on Saturday and Sunday). Man behind the counter took our coupon and charged each of us $27. Went to the range and met our third. I'll go ahead and say right here that 14 holes later, our third tells us he was surprised at how cheap it is to play here nowadays. He proceeds to tell us he paid $27 and that's without the coupon! Old man swindled me and took my coupon! Bastard! Ok, so where was I? Yes, teeing off. So, it wasn't until #5 we realize something is off. I mean, the fairways looked bad, so bad that I was in the middle of what used to be a fairway on #5 and I had to find a patch of grass to put my ball on because I was in mud. Lots of weeds too and just really unkempt. Anyway, here we are on #5 like I was saying and we were like "wasn't there a bunker here behind the green?" Yes there was at one time but that time has passed and so has Quailridge's. Same is true for #6, #9, #12, #13, and #17. There's probably a couple of more bunkers I missed. If you've played this course before, you can tell there is some serious neglect and costs being cut around here. Almost has a feel of the now defunct Cordova Club right before it closed for good. There used to be flowers and shrubs to the left of the range. Now it's weeds and dirt. The fence that divides #18 and the range has fallen down in some sections. In other sections the wood is rotting. The putting green was covered in sand. Sure it's been punched but there wasn't even any small flags for the putting holes out there. Stagnant water in the ponds, cart paths torn up, snake holes on the paths to the par 3s, goose sh*t everywhere, serious overgrowth between #14 and #15 along with soil erosion makes this course a place of the past. The shed between #13 and #14 looks like termites holding hands. At least the girl behind the food counter was pleasant. Tip of the Week: If you want to play golf in Bartlett, I suggest the medium course at Putt-Putt. read more
