Bad start good finish
Jerry I believe in the clubhouse was great but the starter was upset at me and the person I was playing with.. So The group of 5 or 6 in front of us were waiting for one guy to tee off so they were gonna let us go ahead since we only had two but the starter made it an issue being upset saying “we needed to wait cause we booked our tee time using golfnow and that the course doesn’t make any money off of it so we needed to wait till exactly our tee time.” I said politely that they said we could go if we wait there could be an issue with traffic when the course is wide open. Finally he let us go and once we finished #2 that group finally teed off of #1 and sure enough they were holding a different group up but after that it was smooth sailing until #11 but the course was in great shape for the time of the year and the rain we’ve had. I will def go back but I thought that interaction wasn’t kinda unwarranted we were doing proper golf etiquette and everything.
Don’t Play Here
The elderly woman, “golf pro”, was extremely rude. She thinks it is OK to be condescending to seasoned golfers. We had 15 min until our tee time, and she didn’t want to give us the range balls we paid for, because we “didn’t have enough time to hit a few before our tee time”. On our way to the range the starter also told us bluntly we didn’t have enough time. We proceeded to hit about 5-10 balls each, and we made it to the first hole with 2 min to spare. We then waited on the starter to give us the OK to start. There is no cart girl, and you have to wear a face diaper to enter the pro shop and bar. I wouldn’t play here again if they paid me to.
GOOD COURSE, GREAT STAFF!
For the middle of winter the course was good, but the greens were excellent! The staff was outstanding!
Nice Challenge
Haven’t play here in a while but course was fun and challenging. Always enjoy it. Play it you’ll like it.
First time playing
The course was nice and a perfect place for a round of golf. Total time for 4 players was 3 1/2 hours.
The stuff was extremely rude due to the fact we purchased to play through golf now.
I’ve been playing this course for over 15 years and this was by far the worst experience I had. The “golf pro” was extremely rude. I was waiting for another member of our tee time to show up. He was 4 minutes late and the pro was refusing to let us play. I could see the issue if we were maybe 10 minutes late or if the course was full, there was nobody on the course. The “golf pro” was rude due to the fact I paid through golf now. After going back and forth for about 15 minutes he allowed us play. By far the rudest, most unprofessional I’ve ever encountered at a golf course.
Horrible membership
Pro shop person was great, woman at the bar in the morning acted like it was a pain to serve me a Powerade, starter was okay, pace was slow but not horrible as there were lots of people out after Christmas. Played 2 days and remembered why I don't play here, THE MEMBERS! They moan about non MEMBERS, but they don't say anything about the money non MEMBERS bring to their SEMI PRIVATE CLUB.
Do Not Expect Accommodations to be made
Booked a 2-some and brought a 3rd person to join. Was told GolfNow “automatically” pairs you with another 2-some and that our 3rd was not allowed to play. I’ve been booking GolfNow for years and it is the first I’ve heard of that. I understand bringing a 3rd isn’t a guarantee, but the attitude and complete unwillingness to compromise was incredible even after we told him we would wait, play a scramble or split up. Cocky attitude and complete smugness was what was displayed. They’ll never received another dime from me.
First time
Very friendly staff course was in very good shape not a long course and not a lot of trouble greens very rolling with false fronts and sides best prices are on golf apps and course website have fun I will come back here to play
Me Faith
I enjoyed the course and the threesome I played with!
Pace of play - CPO
With the course being cart path only because of the rain, we were waiting on every hole the whole day with no one checking pace. I know here is only a starter but you’d think the pro would marshal the course since it was so packed.
