Staff Treats Golf Now Hot Deal Buyers Badly

Bought a Hot Deal, showed up at course hour early to warm up and practice putt. Was told there was a shot gun tournament and they didn't know if they had enough carts. Kept referring to 'Golf Now' buyers as if we are an underclass. Even the cart boy made a face when he said 'Golf Now'. Obviously they over booked the course and it was distasteful to them to service me. I finally just left. If they don't want Golf Now buyers playing their course they should just quit the service.

THIS REVIEW IS a 100% Fabrication and Inaccurate.

All businesses and industry's are subject to reviews. We are no different. We do appreciate all reviews good and bad. Often times it's the bad ones that help us get better. However with the reviews and the anonymous nature of the reviews we are subject to complete and utter fabrications. Let's break down -Max7246564 or Mr. Otto as we will call him.

He said, "Bought a hot deal, showed up at course hour early to warm up and practice putt."

FACT - He purchased the 1:48 tee time because it was cheaper, and showed up at 11:00 hoping he could go out early, with the same cheaper rate. (We see this often, and can often times accommodate this, when we aren't busy.)

He said, "Was told there was a shotgun tournament and they didn't know if they had enough carts."

FACT - We had a shotgun tournament for our league off of the backside, and we had more than enough carts.

He said, - "Kept referring to 'Golf Now' buyers as if we are underclass

FACT - Close to 85% of our customers book through golf now, so I'm not sure we would treat 85% of our customers as underclass.

He said, "Even the cart boy made a face when he said, Golf Now.

FACT - We don't have a cart boy

He said,, "Obviously they over booked the course it was distasteful to them to service me.

FACT - We didn't over book the course, that is next to impossible to do, as we are only allowed four golfers per tee time.

He said, "He finally just left"

FACT - He threw a temper tantrum, and told me how $30 isn't even a factor in his life so he didn't care about the money.

The bottom line is this Mr. Otto. You showed up two hours early looking to sneak out. Surprisingly to you, 143 other golfers had chosen to take advantage of the mid 80's temperatures in September. You REFUSED to ride or even play with the two-some and single you were paired up with. You mentioned that you hadn't played golf in four years and didn't want to play with anyone. You then said, you wish you had known it was going to take 6 hours. I'll be happy to let you know that the group you abandoned in fact took 4 hours and 6 minutes to play. When I offered to give you your money back, you scoffed at that notion and explained to me that $30 wasn't even something you cared about. Well in hindsight after this review, I don't think that is accurate.

The bottom line is this Mr. Otto. We certainly have our faults, and I'm sure we have been deserved of a 1 star review in the past. But not this time. You have completely fabricated a story to better serve your agenda. We had your tee time, we had a cart for your and YOU REFUSED TO PLAY. Where in that process are we deserved of a 1 star review? I hope in your line of work you aren't susceptible to "customers" like you who go out of their way to tear down the hard work by many, because we didn't shut the course down and part the seas. If you want to play on your own and tee off two hours early, I suggest making a tee time in January or February.

Great course for someone who has played here before!!!

The course was in great condition and for the price I paid thru GolfNow it was unbeatable. My only issue was the course layout from the black tees. Many tee shots were blind and it was a struggle to find the tee boxes. Besides that the greens putted like Augusta and were very true. I would play again for the price but there wasn't anything else that made me have to come back. Great staff with very friendly associates. Wish them the best of luck!!!

Mixed emotions

Played the course for the first time. GREAT staff, very welcoming. Wish the course had better signage to find it, w/o having to use mapquest. Wasn't impressed w the clubhouse, but it had everything you need, especially 6 beers for $20, good start, ha ha. Just thought it would be bigger. I liked the idea of having practice putting greens near holes #1 & #10. Being a 1st timer, I sure wished they could've had GPS, as to see or know the shape/direction of the "blind" shot holes. As far as the course itself, if it hasn't been said already, the course was what, I feel, most golfers want to play on. Nice tee boxes, well maintained fairways and challenging greens. The maintenance crew should get an Atta Boy for the course !! Do wish there were more sand traps and water, but that's a preference. And I wish the par 5's were a little longer, but again, very minor preferences. For SURE will be playing more rounds in the future !!

Best non private course around

For your money this is the best public course around! This course easily rivals Bobby's Legacy and Dutches Classic in Brainerd. Course is in immaculate condition and is a solid challenge. 2 for 1's after your round! They got it figured out.

Nice greens

The course itself was nice and simple. The par 3 tee areas were in need of grass seed. The greens were in great shape. It was the first time we played here, really busy, had to wait on every hole. Took over 5 hours to play 18. The club house was really rustic. It had only 1 working restroom for everyone and food options were poor.

Loggers Trail - Nice Track

Are you a golfer or a country club snob? If you're a golfer, you should like this course. Choose the correct set of tees for yourself and you should enjoy the round. It's more of links style course with lots of mounds lining the fairways. The fairways and greens are in very good shape. Most greens are fairly flat so don't expect lots of undulations like Augusta. I'm sure on windy days this course will give you more than enough challenges. As for you country club snobs, please go elsewhere. There is no fancy club house here. No showers, no granite counter tops, no marble floors, nothing fancy anywhere. The clubhouse is as basic as it gets, but that's fine with me. There is a snack shop, but don't expect white linens. I'd go again, and I'd recommend it to my friends. Enjoy!

Fun to Play

This course offers challenges of grass covered dunes, winding creek beds and challenging sand traps but still seems very playable even to the high handicap golfer. Sand traps were a little rugged with pebbles and needed racking. Greens were general quite fast and somewhat challenging to read. Enjoyed the round.

Mark thank you for the review. We rarely have pace of play issues. Yesterday we did indeed have some issues. We had a small tournament/group out with some people that don't golf all that often. So while we had a ranger on we couldn't get them all moving. Mark we'd love to invite you back and have you play the course when the pace isn't an issue. Email me at tmatsche@loggerstrail.com and we'll set something up to make you happy.
