My comments are made in the interest of helping to improve the visitor experience. Not to criticize. I had a great time there.....I know its a challenge providing services at elevation BUT....
1) Having at station amongst the food and beverage vans at the cross of 3 and 9 and not having water stations at the higher points on the course such as the top of 16 or on top of 5 is ludicrous. After those long climbs a water station would have been very nice.
2)Port a potty's should have been available up top too.
3)During the Mid day when a shuttle bus isn't needed between the parking and the course. It could be utilized to haul seniors to the higher elevations. That would be a very nice gesture.
Entry gate very confusing. Ask question no one seemed to know the answers. ADA area was unknown to everyone so i am not sure there was one. Prices were extremely high. I had Lanai Club tickets, and the tent was 150 yards from the 18th green, you could not see anything. Many of the people who said they had attended the tournament for many years (10+) said that the tent in the past had been right on the green. The tents on the green where both corporate tents!!! The open public seating area was only around 50 yards off the green. The seats were very uncomfortable. I have attended many PGA/LPGA tournament in the Tulsa area and they were head and shoulders better run than this one. Very disappointed and I paid a high-ticket price for nothing extra!!!!
Very crowded grandstand along 18 fairway. Location of grandstand made it very difficult to see where tee shots went and could not see where second shot landed near or on green. Use of grandstand was useless.
We enjoyed our day at the TOC event. The course is very difficult to walk but my decision to pay for seats on the 8th hole was a very good choice. We.spent a few hours at this spot and then walked backed to hole numbers 9 & 18.
An extremely hard course for spectators to walk and nothing to compensate, eg the odd bench to break it up. Even the players used carts to manage several inclines. I saw nothing in the tournament marketing materials that forewarned spectators about walk ability - or lack of.
Fantastic experience. My wife who had no prior interest in golf loved it. Wants to come back next year but we cannot find the exact date anywhere? What is it??? Thanks for everything.
it was nice
Una experiencia extraordinaria, magnífico evento, pensamos regresar en el 2023⛳️💯👏👏👏
Very interesting venue. Would love to play it. Easy walk.
Your would think that if the event ends at 6 they would have more than a single bus shuttling the 1000+people but they don't. Great concept.... Absolutely HORRIBLE execution! Hey it together Eastlake... This was far from well done
Excellent viewing, attended on Friday so not tremendously crowded.
Fantastic tournament and stunning course, I had a brilliant week
Agree with the guy before me. Shocking shuttle service for buses. Not enough of them at Longniddry Station then going back the bus left at 5pm instead if 5.10pm. Meant we missed the connecting train and waited 1 hour at the station for tge next train. Take your car !
Golf was great but the access was appalling. The trains run infrequently, the buses can’t accomodate the numbers and on Friday left the venue at 5 pm not 510 as scheduled just as we arrived at the stop , This meant we missed our train
We then waited another 40 Montfort then bus which didn’t meet any train leaving us wait at the train station for which for then train which was then delayed also
It took two and a half hours to get from the golf to Edinburgh- yhis wouldn’t meet the standards in most third world countries!
Was in Palm Springs on holiday from Scotland and went along to watch the golf. Superb day up close to the players as it’s played over 3 courses, great weather, great burgers and cold beer. Would highly recommend a visit. We will be back in 2023.
Omg… I have never been more ashamed of Canadians ever. It was a drunk fest not a golf tournament where there is an etiquette. As far as the course goes that hosted it they did a terrible job. Line ups for the concessions from 45 minutes to an hour. At the end of the tournament when leaving there was so much garbage and beer cans on the ground it was discussing. There were even beer cans in the toilets. Needed much more security to get the drunks out. The golfers were harassed by the heckling. This was a terrible experience and now I see why no golfers want to come to this tournament. I have heard a rumour that it will be held at this course next year. I personally would not attend.
A terrible experience.
Beautiful golf course however concessions were very slow and dis organized, not alot of garbage and recycling stations ,outhouses full of beer cans in the actual house and in the tank, disgusting!!
Obnoxious drunk fans heckling and yelling at golfers, where's the security,oh I know , sitting along the ropes blocking paying customers views.
Disappointed! Expensive tickets and difficult to access food and drinks. Not nearly enough staff on hand at any concession stands. Most lines 45 mins. No debit or cash. Not enough stands for spectators. For Canada’s only major. We need to do sooooo much better.
Parking is horrific and the signs and lack thereof are misleading. We missed Thursday because all the public parking was FULL and no alternatives. We soent time,effort, and money to get here. Fingers crossed the next two days are better.
Had a lot of fun but need a few changes for sure!
