Problem: What would be an example of an negative review?

Answer: The Monument was one of three courses I played while trying to get away from the Chicago cold for a week in late March 2014. For the money I paid, the best way to sum it up is that it still beat a good day in the office. The course staff was friendly and courteous, and we played in about 4 hours, which is about 30 minutes faster than time par, but that may have had more to do with a 2:10 pm tee time on a Monday afternoon, so the course was pretty empty. You do get a feeling that you're golfing in the middle of a desert, but I don't feel that the course was anything special as far as being picturesque. The only time I felt like taking a picture was on the third hole, which had the Monument rock in the middle of the fairway. I did like the sand in the bunkers. It was actually sand, as opposed to rock (admittedly I wish I didn't have to discover that; fortunately I only experienced two of them). The greens were horrible. I have no doubt I could find a smoother putting surface on a Chicago city street during pothole season. I've never seen so many bumps and jostles between the ball and the hole. My playing partner was affected more because he was generally left with longer putts than me, but on at least 6 holes I watched him miss a putt because the ball bounced within 6 feet of the cup and subsequently fell off line. On three others where he had long putts, I know his ball stopped shorter than he was planning on because of those bumps. The wind affected my shots enough that I often had to chip and putt, but the bounciness of the greens cost me strokes with the putter as well. I'm glad I had to chip and putt, because given the condition of the greens, that probably saved me from multiple 3-putt holes. I feel that the only reason the price is justified is so they can run the animation for the course flyovers on their website. This is NOT a course I will play again when I come back to Arizona. The course I played earlier in my trip, for half the price, had smoother greens than this.

Answer: Thought we'd try this place after passing it for years and reading all these glowing yelp reviews....we waited at least 5 minutes after walking in to be acknowledged. Seemed like forever. After being seated, it was probably 10 minutes before we were able to make a drink order. Without a wine list. There were 2 servers that I saw in the building, that's it. No manager, no busser, no bartender. These 2 were working the entire restaurant. Keeping that in mind, still was disappointing. Food was good, but very slow coming. Service was even slower. We could have come at a bad time, but it was during the dinner hour and there should have been more help. Wine glass was empty for quite a while, and I had to flag our server down for another. Didn't feel "attended to" in other words. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt as I am in the hospitality business too, but things could have been much better....

Answer:
Went there for lunch and had a Chicken chopped salad. There was not a lot of chicken and it was not cheap! Everything is already made and it is re-heated after you order it.
