Lightning forced us off course

I’m trying to get in touch with a Golf Now representative. We enjoyed a great front 9 golf experience today at Univ Park in Sarasota. At the start of our back 9 the weather set in. Lightning made it unsafe to play and it carried thru until dark. Bob in the Pro Shop was very nice but said unless “Golf Now” called him he couldn’t give my Boss and or I any sort of “Raincheck.” I’ve been searching the website and calling listed numbers that aren’t valid trying to seek help.

If I’m not contacted w resolution for my 9/18 hole golf experience soon I guess I’ll just start calling the courses directly.

Ty,

Richard

M B Hey

Love this course. Played several times last summer. Unfortunate that the front nine was cart path only. Wish we would have known. Would’ve rescheduled. Too hot to be walking back and forth to cart. Otherwise, course in great shape.

Great course and facility

Played 10-18 & 19-27 from the tips. Definitely would recommend. Greens were really good, a little on the slow side (9 on stimp?). Fairways plush, t-boxes good. 10-18 open fairways and shorter than 19-27, which is LONG.

Fantastic

Played last October and added it to my must play courses in Sarasota. Beautiful location and a great layout.. course was in fantastic shape. Staff very friendly and the amenities were out of this world. I booked a single tee time but was paired with 3 others and got to start early. Must play Sarasota course.

Quiet

This time of year there’s not much play, but the course remains in top shape. Ken was very helpful mixing me in with some of the only other players on the course.

Is it a 17 hole deal or is 19??

I paid for 18 holes I expect 18 not 17. If a course needs maintenance or repairs, I get it, but that you tell nobody until you ser a sign at the starter. That's a joke. I was looking forward to playing there, then got ripped off. Don't hide tell the people before they book that way they can decide to go play. Not you guys using the old "bait and switch" routine!!!

Paid for 18 holes only got 17

Paid for 18 holes only got 17 and not ever said before booking, during booking, during check in.

I get that maintenance is needed, bit to say nothing is like stealing. I want 18 holes. If I know before I book that maintenance is being done, I then make my decision to book or not. This is bs

A solid course with three nines.

I love the fact they are so protective of the course that it was cart path only because it was too dry in the fairways! The three nines are so different that you do need to change your strategy (especially 10-18) as risk/rewards are dramatically different than tees on 19-27 or 1-9. Overall a well designed and maintained course.
