Lomas Santa Fe Executive Golf Course

Great walk, we’ll maintained course.

I play golf 7-15 times/month and this is one of the worst places I've come across. This place has some of the worst staff in the county who are dishonest, petty, and miserable. I last played here 8/31/21 after trying to make it work with their oversold $30 membership.

Since 8/31, I've played a total of 35 rounds with yesterday, 1/26 being my first time returning to Lomas.

Things started well, as one of the staff who has given me a hard time in the past was actually very kind. I played my round, shot my score, and stopped by the pro shop to discuss my membership status as i had paid for my round through GolfNow.

I have 4 or 5 different memberships and they all come out automatically. Lomas lost that privilege with me during 2021 when they charged me 6 membership fees in 4 months, so the card used for them is off by default. The overcharging was eventually sorted out, but yesterday put the icing on the cake.

Upon inquiring about my membership, I was told it had fallen behind. Again, no surprise as I hadn't been to Lomas in almost 5 months. I will say maybe I should have officially paused the membership, but membership is moot when the staff seems intent on starting your round off bad and overcharging for memberships.

The young man told me I owed 2 months worth of membership to get reactivated. I said "okay, sounds good." The young man then went to a back room and verified with his 'manager'? Upon returning, he said "yep, it'll be the $60 to get you going again." I asked the young man to charge the card on file to which he laughed and said "it's been declined 7 times bro." This isn't surprising to me as I turn cards off all the time, but I play along and produce another card. I swiped my card and couldn't believe what came next.

As soon as the card was swiped, the young man tried to charge ANOTHER $30, and have me begin a whole new sign up. 1 month memebrship is $30, so this idea would have me pay 3 months to get ready to pay for next month.

This is nothing short of dishonest and disrespectful and has inspired this review. Since my first round here in April '21, this staff has not learned how to treat other humans and it's really quite sad. With the membership this place is $10/round and I still couldn't bring myself to come in 5 months.

I understand it is an executive course but way too many <100 yard par 3’s . I will say it is nicely maintained and scenic but once in a while you want to hit your long irons for a challenging par 3. There are other executive courses in the area that are more challenging.

Decent little exec course for some exercise short game practice!

Usually can finish a round in 3 hours. Great Value and easily the best executive course around town

Great conditions with slower play than expected. Challenging greens and a few fun par 4s keep you on your toes.

Worst experience I’ve ever had and we didn’t even make it past the parking lot! As soon as I parked and stepped out of the van, a guy (who later I learned was the manager I guess) pulled up behind me in a golf cart asked me “Are you here to play golf?” I replied yes and as soon as my wife and two daughters stepped out he immediately questioned how old the kids were. I responded by asking if there was a problem because he seemed unusually into our business. He proceeded to tell me that my younger daughter was not allowed on the premises because she was under the age of 6. I asked why and he said that she’s a liability on the course and in the cart. I responded questioning why can’t we just sign a liability waiver? He said that’s just the rules sorry you can go ahead and cancel your round if you need to.

My issue is nowhere on their website or on GolfNow do they have this policy. They have a little sign at the pro shop desk but we wasted the entire afternoon only to not get a chance to play. Never had any issues with kids at other courses…all of them you have to sign liability waivers when using the carts. Looks like there’s other reviews with similar experiences. Not sure why people support these types of businesses. My money won’t ever be going to this course.

Tee boxes. Almost no grass between tee markers and most were not level. You were hitting tee shots off sand with sidehill lies. This could be a model executive course it’s tee boxes were in good shape and level.
