I play 9 holes about 3 times a week and 18 when I can. Only been a member of my course for about a month now. I played a lot of paid for rounds before I joined too. I don't always Game Golf my rounds either in case anyone goes for a look. I did tonight though.
A few things that I'm really getting quite annoyed about and a lot of it can be out down to the extreme amount of rain we've had lately but I'm not really happy where I am.
Persistent rain has meant that a lot of the above is normal, but I wouldn't know, never being a member of a club before. You ball just plugs in the ground off all the tees. Your ball is consistently dirty with no respite from it.
Needless to say this has had a knock on effect on my golf. Enthusiasm has dropped away to nothing and scores are creeping up again with average putting strokes increasing.
I follow a lot of clubs in my area on Twitter and they always tweet about things they are doing to the courses. Greens cut 4mm, rolled etc etc. Pin positions tweeted every time they are changed and even when the bunkers are raked. One course even told everyone today about buying new rakes to get a better lie in the bunkers.
I kind of feel my club isn't really bothering with the upkeep or am I just expecting too much? What would you guys do, and what can be done?
Can I just cancel and leave to go elsewhere?

- Greens are seriously stubly and bumpy, ball never runs true in a line
- Greens are hardly ever cut
- Greens really need rolled or something.
- Tee boxes are mostly all running away to one side, never level.
- Bunkers are hardly ever raked and some full of water
