I played TE. It was ill advised from various reports, but I had a raincheck to use and TE may never get back to what it once was. Any pkg golfers paying the package rate would be disappointed. The greens were watered and had healthy grass, just not maintained will things like rolling, verticut or top dressing like they need to be smooth. The speed was about 7-8 stimp. There are lots of small dirt spots, as many as when aerated, but it's not aeration, probably ants or worms. Fairways were mostly brown, from not watering. I played with 3 members, who said the owner has no $$ and saves some $ by not watering and not needing to cut it. Oddly the bunkers were good, raked edged and weed wacked. Usually when a course goes downhill, the bunkers get ignored/abandoned. They also are not watering the fairways on the other courses. I recommend forgetting about any Big Cats at package rates, until further notice. You will be embaressed bring your group there.

They actually had nine holes mostly finished on Jaguars Lair. Then the economy tanked and they stopped construction and the grass kept growing.

So that must have been in 2008 or 2009 ?

Jaguars Lair stopped around those years. I remember reading that they were going
to use a number of Angels Trace holes, no doubt with new greens, bunkers, etc.

Angels Trace was 36 holes.

If Big Cats needs funds, they should sell JL, but a buyer might not keep the course.

Angel's Trace was a nice layout. We played there several times many many years ago.

Golf can best be defined as an endless series of tragedies obscured by the occasional miracle.

The developer is Mark Saunders, a very aggressive businessman which has lead him to some legal issues and lawsuits. Hopefully these issues have not caught up to him.
