Golf Now Sucks

We paid for 18 holes only to get to the course and have them tell us that the front 9 is out of commission and if we want to play 18 we have to play the back twice. Nothing wrong with this but there was no mention of this at the time of booking. Additionally there was a temp green on 18. When we went to the tee we were called back twice after being accused of trying to play 3 and pay for 2. I had to show them my reservation on my phone.

Course Upgrades

The course is beautiful and well maintained. The pro shop staff were very friendly and provided support and information. The only thing I wish I had known before booking is that the course is only a 9- hole right now due it irrigation upgrades. We played through the nine twice, and had a good time, but would have obviously preferred to play all 18 holes. The price should reflect this or it should be noted before booking. Overall, great course, great staff, great day- would visit again.

Caught by surprise

Disappointing to learn at check in the front 9 was closed due to renovation. That information should have been revealed by Golf Now. The person in the pro shop indicated the course has been only 9 holes for quite some time. While sympathetic he could not offer any reduction in cost because the round had already been paid for. Note to self call the course before paying for it. Golf Now should offer a credit. I paid for 18 holes. Ended up playing back 9 twice. The greens were excellent. Fairways were average.

Course is in good shape. Front 9 we finished in record time, even after the Marshall yelled at us to speed up. He then came back and apologized. I wish he would have came out on the second 9, it was really slow, we waited on every hole. On 13, there were 3 groups waiting.

Front 9 closed

They didn’t tell you in advance that the front 9 is closed for a year so you had to play the back 9 twice. Would have been nice to see that as an update.

Wait to play for a few months

The front nine was under construction for a new sprinkler system and had to play the back nine twice. I would not have played the course if I had known about the construction. No cart person for drinks. No marshal. There were two slow twosomes ahead of use that would not play as a foursome. A marshal would have helped force them to play as a foursome and keep the pace of play smooth. I only titled the review "wait to play for a few months" since I have no idea when construction will be complete.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

When I booked the tee time, there was no mention that the front nine was under construction for 240 days starting in January. We're playing the back nine twice.

The golfers in front of us were extremely slow, but no one told them to speed up.

We got to the clubhouse at 3:30 pm, and everything was closed. No signage saying what time they closed.

We will likely try the course again when it isn't under construction.

Surprise course conditions

Hot Deal taken, yet was not great at all. No mention that half the course was closed down and that I’d be playing the back nine twice. It was not that bad doing it, but paying for 18 and only getting nine was very sour to take. I won’t be paying full price to play that again.

Slow pace of play, did not disclose that you had to play the back 9 twice

This course did not disclose that the front 9 is closed and we had to play the back 9 twice for 18 holes. The pace of play was very slow with 3 groups waiting on the tee boxes by the time we got to the 11th hole the second time around. The group directly in front of us pulled off at that point, and our foursome quit as well. When I mentioned the slow pace of play to the starter he was very offended and informed me that we were right on pace. The condition was just okay, with fairways having intermittent weeds and bald spots. greens were in decent shape. Sand was just gravel.

Half a course for full price

Half the course was closed and no mention of it on Golf Now when I booked it. I did not like playing the same 9 holes twice while having to wait for slow pace golfers. They could have at least discounted the green fees for the in inconvenience.
