I witnessed an employee reprimand a player there today in such an inappropriate way that I felt I had to say something. This man was there with his son and had apparently broken some kind of rule that he was totally unaware of. I dont know who the employee was but he began yelling as he drove by on a golf cart, reprimanding this man as though he were a child. Everyone standing there just looked at each other , surprised to see an employee react like this. Its inexcusable to speak to anyone this way and most certainly a customer that has paid to be there. If there is a problem, there is a way to address it. Walk over to the person and treat them with respect. Not hard to do.

The grass was in great shape, the bunkers are clean, the cart paths are new, the price is affordable and the holes are long, plenty of room to let the big dog eat..!

Purple Sage was in nice shape when I played. This course is flat and easy to walk. The price was great as well. One of the most interesting things about this course was its overall layout. It felt like they built 18 holes on a 36 hole piece of land. The trees on the edges of the fairways didn't connect to another hole, but rather an empty rough area about the width of another fairway. This would be a great place for players who slice or hook the ball to not worry about hitting/injuring another player.
