点评:I have been playing this course 3 or 4 times a year for a number of years. The layout is fantastic and the views are great! I really have loved playing Loadstone. That said, the course is no longer in good shape and its clear that WISP's owners (Pacific Group Resorts) are not focused on maintaining the course. The fairways and sand traps have really declined and now the greens are starting to decline. Hugely disappointed that the owners are not maintaining this wonderful course. Now that Thousand Acres (nearby course) has opened its back nine, I will be playing there rather than Loadstone unless I am playing multiple rounds on a trip.
I know the ski resort business has been tough with little to no snow for multiple years but WISP keeps making the same mistake across the entire resort of deferring maintenance and letting the facilities slide. The WISP Fantasy Valley golf course is pretty much unplayable, the ski resort has unusable slopes because of issues with broken water lines, the hotel is very long in the tooth .....
The one thing that they do seem to be focused on is developing and selling real estate around the golf course. I guess thats where they are making money
翻译:多年来,我每年都会在这个球场打 3 到 4 次球。球场布局很棒,景色也很棒!我真的很喜欢在 Loadstone 打球。话虽如此,球场的状况已经不再好,很明显 WISP 的所有者(Pacific Group Resorts)并没有专注于球场的维护。球道和沙坑已经严重退化,现在果岭也开始退化。业主没有维护好这个美妙的球场,我感到非常失望。现在 Thousand Acres(附近的球场)已经开放了后九洞,除非我在旅途中打多轮球,否则我会在那里打球,而不是在 Loadstone 打球。
我知道滑雪胜地的生意一直很艰难,多年来几乎没有下雪,但 WISP 在整个度假村一直犯着同样的错误,即推迟维护并让设施下滑。 WISP Fantasy Valley 高尔夫球场几乎无法使用,滑雪场的斜坡因水管破裂而无法使用,酒店也已经很老旧了......
他们似乎唯一专注于的事情就是开发和销售高尔夫球场周围的房地产。我想这就是他们赚钱的地方
