Extremely Rude ProShop Manager

Extremely disappointing experience and poor customer service from management.

I called the pro shop ahead of time on Tuesday before booking through GolfNow because I wanted to confirm one specific thing: my wife and I were booking a two-person tee time for Friday at 11:10, and we wanted to bring our two daughters as ride-alongs. The gentleman I spoke with was very helpful and told me that would be fine and that he would put a note on the reservation. He also explained that the reduced 9-hole rate was not available until after noon, which I understood, and I told him I was fine paying the full rate even though we only planned to play 9 holes.

When we arrived Friday, the manager at the pro shop said we were somehow booked twice for the same tee time and tried to charge me $65.30 for an extra cart. I showed him my GolfNow receipt proving I only booked one two-person reservation. It appears the pro shop may have accidentally entered a second reservation after my phone call, but instead of trying to understand or fix the issue, the manager treated it like it was my fault.

When I questioned the $65 cart charge, especially since we only needed it so our daughters could ride along and we only planned to play 9 holes, he was rude, dismissive, and made a sarcastic comment about “my other country club” when I explained what I normally pay for an extra cart elsewhere. He eventually said he would “meet me in the middle” at $30, which only made the situation feel even more arbitrary.

The most frustrating part was being told that because I booked a Hot Deal through GolfNow, I would not get my money back and could either pay or lose the reservation. Thankfully, I had purchased trip insurance and was able to get refunded on the spot. I left instead of giving this course my business.

I understand policies. I understand cart shortages. What I do not understand is being told one thing ahead of time, showing up early with my family, then being treated rudely over what appears to have been the course’s internal booking mistake. The way this was handled was unprofessional and completely ruined what was supposed to be a simple family golf outing. I will not be returning.

Extremely unprofessional Pro Shop Manager

Here’s a strong 1-star review that sounds frustrated but still credible and factual:

Greens in Great Shape and FAST

I always enjoy playing at Red Wing Lake Golf.

Saturday was perfect conditions and the greens were in great shape. It was just difficult to keep our approach shots on the green and putting was difficult because of the speed.

Grounds hard, grass or conditions were good.

The grounds keeper or management need to treat the grass throughout the course.

Greens are pretty decent for December golf in VB. Solid value, minimal people today so pace of play was great. Greens were very firm but true.
