2 holes closed not disclosed

The course itself was in good shape and I liked it. However, when we showed up they informed us that holes 4 and 5 are closed. They had some flood damage which I understand however, had I known I would have played somewhere else until it was back to an 18 hole course. The pro shop staff stated "that's why we gave you the twilight rate". How would I know that it's the twilight rate and I feel like I should be able to decide if I want to play 16 holes at a "twilight rate" of $92. There only water for drinking on the course was hole 17. At the turn the only place to get drinks is the restaurant. So you stand in the busy waitstaff area next to the kitchen and have a server get you drinks. This seems to be a poor set up. Why not get a cooler/fridge and put it in the pro shop? I feel the course could have been great with some basic fixes and in the future give Full Disclosure at the time of booking. I feel bad for the staff as I am sure they receive an earful from people showing up for their tee time only to find out then that it is not a full round of golf.

Two holes were out of play. No warning of that on the Mountain Vista website or at the time of the Golf Now booking. Pretty poor customer service!!

14 holes…

When we arrived at the pro shop, we were told 4 holes were closed. Neither Golf Now or the golf course website advised we could play only 14 holes. Very disappointed. No discount were offered other than the price advertised on GN.

4 holes closed

Four holes were closed due to flood damage. We were not aware of this until part way through the round. I contacted GolfNow the next day and received a partial credit. Otherwise, Santa Rosa is one of our favourite courses.

It’s a fun course . The staff is very friendly. My only complaint is that currently as of Feb 4th 2024 the course only as 14 holes available as 4 holes are under reconstruction. This was not at all disclosed on Golf now. We did not find this out until we got to the course and by then it was too late to find another option. I would suggest that you find out if the damaged holes have been repaired if you want to play a full 18 holes.

I did call Golf Now and told them of the issues and they were good about giving me a future credit. Just an FYI.

The course only has 14 holes

It would have been nice to let us know the course only had 14 holes open and 4 holes unplayable.. We didn’t find out until we checked in. I do not recommend this course at this point in time

Yikes

So I should mention that the course would be amazing if golf now knew that holes 4-7 were closed due to excessive rain and a water line issue. Call the course before booking
