Paid for cart but was told to share

This is one of my favorite places However despite the fact that I had paid for a cart, I was told that I had to share with strangers. Covid is still around and I do not feel comfortable sharing with strangers. This is ridiculous and there is no mention of that upfront on their website or booking details. I walked away and cancelled my booking. If you are too busy to give out carts to people who have paid for them then perhaps you are overbooking and that is not fair.

Ok course for the price

First time playing at RGA and not sure if I’ll go back. The greens, while actually green, were littered with crabgrass on the front 9. The back 9 greens were better, with much less crabgrass, but the amount of unrepaired ball marks was ridiculous. I know that is the responsibility of players to fix when they occur, but the greens keepers should be repairing these at the end of the day. The fairways were in pretty good condition, and most of the tee boxes were decent except for 15…it was a sandbox. The back nine has some crazy short par 4s from the whites. Definitely made me work on my short game.

Considering the Golf Pass “Hot Deal” plus monthly discount and points used, it was worth the price I paid, but I wouldn’t be coming here if I had to pay full price.

Also, I have never had to wait so long to check in for a tee time. Took at least 15 min, thus not allowing me time to hit the practice green.

Great course

I had a great time on this course. We flew threw the front 9. Once we made the turn we got bogged down by slow play, but it was a great experience.

Customer service needs help

Will take a cart you’ve already paid for whenever they feel they need an extra cart even an hour after renting. We’re offering to pair me with another group with extra seats, of which the driver was shaking his head in the background as though you weren’t welcome. They didn’t see any issue, took the cart and left me to walk or try to convince a stranger who already said no, to allow me in his cart. I WAS a regular with a few family members with memberships there so they can play with me. We will be heading to Eagle Ridge or Lochmere.

Nice Surprise

Really enjoyed the round with the hubby. Disappointed no driving range, but fairways and greens in great shape and easy-play course. Will definitely go back.
