Course charged me for a no show yet my whole group showed paid and played

We had a tee time for 4. All 4 of us showed paid and played. A week later golf now charged me for a player that did not show. I called golf now they called the course who insisted we had 3 players not 4. So golf now told me nothing they could do. I have called the course 3 times left 3 messages for the manager and in a weeks time have not received even a courtesy call back. I guess i imagined me and my 3 friends playing that day. Pretty sad when a course is willing to lose a customer who plays out there at least once every couple months over $58 That was charged to me even when all 4 players showed and paid played.. i will no longer be booking through golf now and this course will NEVER get my business again!

I strongly recommend Recreation Park golf course.

Not bad

Great day. They had just aerated the greens so it would have been nice to know before playing. Other than not being able to putt effectively the course was nice. The course Marshall, Brett, was a great guy and really helpful! Thank you, Brett!

Good course but greens currently under maintenance

I am still giving it four starts because once the greens are back this is a nice one. Easy enough for beginners and intermediates with nice fairways. The tee boxes and fairways were in good shape and pace of play was kept in check by marshal. Unfortunately all greens were recently punched and sanded so you really can’t putt true right now.

Expensive round

I enjoyed the golf, but this is an expensive place to play a round on a public course. They charge per rider for the golf cart $16 each, so $32 for the 2 of us. That’s way too much on top of $44 for the round. My tee time was 1:20pm on a weekday, not exactly prime time. The greens and fairways were in ok condition. I wouldn’t play here again for the same price.
