East at Grandover Resort

We had a twosome playing in front of us that knew nothing of golf etiquette. Wearing basketball shorts and a tshirt playing all over the course. At the turnaround we continued - they stopped. On the 12 they drive around us while on the green and goes to 13 box. Needless to say we waited more. Would hit several balls and leave some behind. No worries they were range balls. Made the day longer than need to be. Where was the Marshall. You pay that much money, there should be someone watching and regulating play. Thought I was on a cheap public course. Beautiful course but will never spend the money to play again.

We where pumped to play!

Day started great, arrived early, staff in pro shop 5 of 5..

Then we meet Sam.. pushy Sam. Rude Sam.. I could go on!

We went over to the range and took a few shots, some good, some bad. Gotta get loose after the drive..

All while Sam was being eagle eye, and rushing us to the tee box ‘10 minutes early’.. and the first tee was seriously 1 min away.. at this point I was ok Sam, keeping the pace.. no worries..

But here is when it starts… Sam asked me: ‘do you even play golf??? I was like excuse me?? The rudest thing you can say to a person that just paid $90 for a round and even heading into a round! 1st hole tee off is hard enough without having ‘Sam’.. few words back to Sam and we tee’d off. My partner tee’d off ‘average start’ and then I hit.. we are on the way… SO WE THOUGHT…. While I was tee’ing off Sam spoke with my partner ‘we have to talk’ he said.. he waited to when I got back to the cart and proceeded to tell us ‘we had to play captains choose.. this time not referring to my ball.. but my partners.. make your mind up Sam….

At the point of time, I had enough of Sam! Words where spoken, Sam got the point FINALLY.. ‘use your imagination please ;-)’ …

It was so rude! We are in for a chilled fun Sunday game and Sam honestly made the first few holes a horrible experience! Couldn’t believe at a club with high ratings and consumer satisfaction, has a Karen ‘Sam’ being honestly a police officer on the course!

I’ve played TPC Sawgrass FL and Kirkland in Scottsdale, Monarch in CA, never an issue and now playing a local course in Greensboro NC.. this happens! Just a shame!

I hope no one else experiences Sam.. ‘ dear Sam!! Chill out Sir!! Golf is meant to be enjoyable! We are not all turning pro and it’s meet to be fun and challenging!

Keep your opinions to yourself! Don’t forget without consumers you wouldn’t have a job!

Going to the course excited… club house great!!! Staff in the pro shop 5 of 5.

Then the course cart and tee time - staff ‘guy’ pushy and the rude!!

Situation:

I hit a few shots at the range, some good some bad - first shots of the day… as us normal golfers now, need to get lose!

We where hustled to get to the tee box ‘10 min’ early and then the staffer had the nerve to ask me weather I played golf because of the warm up on the range.. I was just like ‘what are you talking about’ and we exchanged a few words..

Just what you want to hear heading into a round of golf that you just paid $90 for! How rude!!!

Me and my partner tee’d off - all while he waited and watched us tee off..

Then he had the nerve to say how we should play and how we should play best ball ‘not because of me tee shoot now’ but my partners tee shot and I lost it. Asked him to leave us alone and mind his own business. I couldn’t believe it… it messed up our first few holes! Played all over in some really 5 star courses (example: Monarch in Cali, TPC Sawgrass in FL) and never would have thought that a local Greensboro course would be so rude!

Conditions were just amazing. Most perfect conditions I played this year. High end place.

Both courses are top notch. Best resort in all of the Carolinas in my opinion

An absolutely beautiful course, very very well maintained. Well worth the money. Definitely coming back!

I’ve played Grandover several times over the years. The staff is just top notch in every way. The courses just keep getting better as well. It’s a well managed operation from top to bottom.

Need to move folks along better. Too slow. Also, greens fees should have been reduced due to greens not fully recovered from being punch. Did not know about the greens before playing. Bad form.

The greens were heavily sanded which I suspected based on the price I paid but I was able to play as a single. I played through a couple groups over the day but I played 2 balls and finished in under 3 hours, so I hope you all have such good fortune in your outing! Greens were still quick and rolled ok considering their condition (sandy/healing) so I won’t be too upset. Thrilled I was able to play as a single, I didn’t ask but they didn’t stop me so, kudos to the staff for that.

One of the better layouts around, I played the East course from the tips. I’m an 8 index but I’m long and it was nice to get to play a true championship length layout. Jealous of those UNCG kids!

We liked the course. Plenty of clever obstacles without being obnoxious. Long course. Hilly. We had a great time though not scratch golfers.

Enjoyed the hospitality from before the first tee to the 19th hole. Great staff.
