First of all, we will defiantly go back next year.
The food wasn't what was promised. The letter we received with the wrist bands stated breakfast at 9am. We got there at 9 (didn't eat at the hotel because we were anticipating breakfast) and coffee was the only thing offered, and we were told it would be ready at 10am. Went back at 10 and there were small, frozen, fruit Danish and one cinnamon muffin with icing. Went back at 11 and the was a bowl of frozen fruit and anther station that had yogurt.
Lunch.. ugg. The food was sparce nonetheless.
Took a walk to the merch building and got lost. I had to ask for directions and all 3 times was sent the wrong direction. I walked 4 miles!!!! To go from Hole 17 The cove to the merch building and back.
Hole 16 was gridlock, what a mess, no way around it, and no way through it.
We will try a different building next time, maybe on 18.
The WM was just what it was built up to be. My daughters and I enjoyed it. We met some really nice people from all over the country. The weather did not cooperate but that didn't dampen our spirits. It is a once in a lifetime experience. Go for it!!
Loved it
Tour crowded. It was great to see the golfers, but it was sad to see intoxicated people. Totally understand because the grass was wet. People can review the golf as they have in the past. Nonetheless accommodation should have made for that.
I had a blast at the Phoenix Open earlier this year. The atmosphere at the 16th hole i.e Coliseum was electric - more like a rock concert than a golf tournament!!! The crowd was rowdy and energy was off the charts. The other holes were a more traditional golf experience but still great.
The weather was perfect and were plenty of food and drink options. They also did a great job with recycling and keeping the place clean - its in the name 😄
The only downside was the parking but it's not uncommon at big events. I'll be back next year!
