over priced and fairly rude

i haven't golfed at this course in a decade. I decided to try it out for a quick nine holes in the later morning. I was not expecting anything grand with the course but I have multiple gripes about this experience:

The woman at the front desk was incredibly rude. and wasn't listening to anything i told her or asked her. I had reserved my tee time on golf now . i arrived 15 min early. I checked in and told her i had a reservation for one with a cart and gave her my name. she then charged me for a person to ride along. I understand this happens at some courses, but I have never experienced this at a City pf Phx golf course. i paid though without complaint. Then she didn't give me a cart key because she said she was putting me with someone else starting 20 min later. She reluctantly gave me a cart key and when I walked outside someone who was starting well after me had taken the cart and was going to the range. so i had to go back in and she said to wait for some people to come in off the ninth hole. No Way! there were a bunch of people waiting to tee off at a later tee time and the tee was currently empty and i did not want to get stacked up behind them. I was able to talk to another gentleman there and get a cart from someone schedule to start later. I would have been happy paying 25 for this course. I would have been ok paying the $36 that i had expected. But i ended up paying nearly $50.00 for this disorganized crap and marginal course.

Fun quick play course

This little 9 hole was a fun run, greens are immaculate, rest of the course has normal wear and tear but for a quick outing it was superb.
