Golf Now Needs to Communicate

This course is excellent; my only complaint is that when reserving on Golf Now, there was no mention that the front 9 was closed and that we had to play the back 9 twice. We should be notified on Golf Now when a course is only offering one 9, but charging for the full 18.

TEE OFF FAIL

TEEOFF never mentioned only back 9 is open for play - they should be ashamed of their booking practices - Proshop was indifferent when mentioned to them.

Back 9 was okay, interesting holes and layout with plenty of bunkers. Not the best conditions, but have played worse recently. Would consider again when full course is open and conditions improve.

Misinformation

Was not made aware when booking and found out only after warming up and heading to first tee that only the back 9 was open. Front 9 closed due to rain damage.

Great golf course

Really like this course unfortunately they did not inform me the front 9 was closed for repairs when booking. Fairways, tees, and greens are in very good condition considering it’s late September.

Shadow Hills

Couse in good shape for amount of play it gets. Only back nine open so play was agonizingly slow. Have to remember to call course before booking. Would not play again.

Just OK!

Pace of play was awesome but only the back 9 was open so we had to play it twice. There was no food/beverage cart, snack shack was limited and not much else as for offerings. The price was decent at $50 per round but it would have been nice to know only the half the course was open.

Bait and switch?

Late Saturday, I booked an early Sunday tee time. When I got to the course, the pro shop staff asked: “ Did GokfNow let you know the front nine is closed and you’ll play the back nine twice?”

No. No one told me that.

(The front nine is closed due to flooding from Hurricane Hilary ONE MONTH prior.)

There is no reason that (course closure) is not noted prior to reserving the tee time.

Poor customer service

They don’t tell you until you arrive that the front 9 is closed so you have to play back twice. Lawn crew never stopped and were in fairways whilst trying to play and club house rep completely ignored my feedback on this.

Be wary

The course was in okay condition for what you got. You only get the back 9 twice which is never fun. Also no one told us until we saw spoke with the starter. Terrible experience. Will never return.

The course has been affected by the recent historic storm that passed through the area two weeks before I played so it’s a little unfair to be critical. Front 9 homes weren’t available so you had to play back 9 twice. For the most part the fairways and greens were really good. A few areas where flood water damage was experienced.

I will go back and check it out when the repairs have been completed

Terrible

This course was awful. The course looked like they have ran out of money and I know it is foreign owned. Nothing in the pro shop,total of 3 dozen balls. Really dirty. Will not go back.
