Pro shop staff seemed put out that we were there. Very unhelpful. When I asked if they were on time they said, go as the starter. I couldn't find the starter. I went back in and asked "where is the starter" the response was out side in a cart that says starter. After searching around for the starter for 15 minutes, he drives up. He told me they don't sit there until they are needed.

Course great! Golf Now terrible!

I booked an 11:49 tee time. Drove an hour to get there. Upon arrival, the person at the golf shop told me my tee time was 12:49, even tho my confirmation email said 11:49. According to the person at the counter, the screw up wasn't because of them, but because of GN. Thankfully, the pro shop got us out a bit earlier. But I am not happy about the confusion. I hope GN fixes this issue and honestly. I feel like a discount on my next booking (should I even decide to use GN again) should be offered. Great course, crappy service from GN.

Nasty Ranger

The course was in fantastic condition however that was overshadowed by a ranger who pulled up to us on the 7th tee and without any warnings “Guys we have a big problem here. You are 18 minutes off the pace (we were maybe 10 if that) and if you don’t step it up we are going to have you removed from the course.” Never in my life has this ever happened. It’s a shame because the course was fun. I will not return and I will make sure to tell all my friends who golf of this experience as well and recommend they play elsewhere.

Nasty ranger

The course was in fantastic shape however that was overshadowed by the ranger who without warning “ Guys we got a big problem here, you are 18 minutes of pace (we were 10 minutes off) and if you don’t pick it up we are going to have to remove you from the course.” Never in my life have I encountered that before. Unfortunately even though the greens were great and the course was fun I won’t be returning and I’ll be sure to let everyone I know that golf’s about our experience!
