I was golfing at the Old Works one day and joined up with an elderly couple that played the course on a regular basis.  I had noticed there were no benches so I asked them if they knew why. The answer....Troon Golf (or whatever golf course management company was running the show at the time) had done a study and determined that benches ADDED 30 minutes to a round of golf.  So, to speed up play they removed them!

When did Old Works ever have enough people on the course to worry about slow play? Whenever I have been there, play was pretty light. There has also been some news of them not getting enough golfers to make ends meet. Maybe if they put in benches so that people could get a chance to sit down from time to time they would get more golfers.

Gotta agree here.  For the life of me I don't know how that course stays afloat.  Perhaps just enough from Butte make the 30 mile trek over there on a semi-regular basis?


Does Butte have anything as good as Old Works?

Yes I too was taken by the possibly unintentional irony.  Lets get rid of benches and ball washers, but keep the carts??

Carts aren't the issue...for me anyway.  Its the cart paths which are often terrible.
