Jipped a Hole for a poor scheduling
Been to this course several times and never once had an issue. Had 4 people in our group and had a group of two behind us. We were playing as a reasonable pace on track to finish 18 holes in 4 hours. We were told by groundkeeper that we had to skip a hole due to them being behind. We did so and went and waited for the group in front of us to finish their par 3. There was no reason for us to be rushed and we were not compensated for missing a hole as we paid for 18 holes and only got 17. I will avoid going here moving forward
Staff Unfriendly
The fairways were Ok but the domed greens were unenjoyable. Got called to the first tee 15 minutes early which would be Ok except we had just got to the driving range. Had the starter yelling at us and also the other couple we got paired with. Also got yelled at by the cart attendant when we were dropping off our cart. Put a damper on the day!
Challenging short course
Fairways and greens great. Tee boxes hard as rocks. Pin placement and rounded greens make scoring well tough. Want to play it again.
Course Ranger Needs Authority
During the round some
belligerent young patrons were bouncing around to open tees and causing unnecessary delays. The course ranger spoke to them and they were disrespectful and ignored the rangers request, challenging the group I was in by loud ly cursing and threatening language. The ranger should have the authority to immediately kick them off the course without refund, and our round should have been reimbursed or credited for another time.
Golf staff was not very friendly. snackbar and drinks staff were excellent.
Disorganized from the start. Lots of people waiting on the first tee. The course is an executive course that is not in very good shape and the greens are very slow. Ok forbeginnners to play.
Horrible Staff
Staff is always disrespectful when we give them no reason to be.
Cold and rainy day
It was cold and rainy but the greens were dry and fast.
Fairways nonexistent
First time playing this course but there were 0 fairways present. Literally the grass was same length whether you hit it in the middle or off by 30 yards. This could have been due to upcoming maintenance but there was no warning on that. Greens were tiny and the most treacherous I’ve seen with regards to breaks and firmness. It wasn’t too bad for the price I paid for the round but definitely would have liked more of a heads up from the course before showing up. Course has a lot of potential to be good. Hoping it was an off day.
