Horrible Customer Service

I book a hot deal that clearly included a cart. When I check in they would not honor the cart and were very rude about it. I showed the confirmation which showed the cart was included. They then went on to take zero responsibility and blame golfnow. I have booked close to 100 rounds with this never happening.

Very disappointed in how this went down.

Great course with elevation change

It’s between Rec 18 and Skylinks as the best course in LB. Rec 18 has great elevation changes, and interesting holes.

Course didn't honor GN hot deals

I booked hot deals which cart was included but when I checked in staff said I still have to pay for the cart fee. I let him know I already prepaid for the green fee and cart fee but he said the course don't offer prepaid cart fee and if I want to still play I have to pay for the cart. He said I can reach out to GN on my own to try to get refund if I like. Poor customer service.

Golf Now is the WORST and their Customer Service is HORRIBLE

Arrive to the course after Golf Now says my cart is paid for and the course says oh no the cart is extra? Call Golf Now and was told I paid for the Cart and they would refund me only half of the money? Seriously the WORST and will NEVER use again

My reservation said that cart was included but they would not honor lt. They claim that they do not nclude cart for Golf Now players. Due to my age, I do not reserve times include cart.

Decent not great

A little dried out. Tee boxes dried and punched. Greens had lots of old divots. Course is in playable condition but Lakewood is in much better shape.

The course was soaked. Mud and standing water everywhere. A few holes would of been acceptable, but the entire course was ridiculous
