Dragonfly Golf Club

Great track, one of my favorites, come on a hot day at 4pm and finish by 645 on the weekdays…people just need to fix their divots, some of the greens seem like they have a fungus or something especially on the fringes. Won’t stop me from going though, love this place. Shot an 80 from the blues. Good day.

On the night of Sunday, June 23rd, our 16 year old son and 14 year old friend were locked in at Dragonfly golf course. 

The boys had a tee time of 5:30, they are not 18, so they walk with push carts. They have played late in the day many times due to their sports schedules. When they checked in, there was no mention of a specific time to be off the course. After they played the first 9, the clubhouse could see them tee off at 10. Again, no one said anything to them about time constraints. 

The boys said that a person watched them start 14, and at that point, the sun was about down so they headed back to the clubhouse to come home. They loaded the car, and headed out. 1/2 mile up the road, they met a locked gate. They drove back to the clubhouse to find someone to open it for them. 

There were no employees left at the course, they had all left and locked the gate behind them, without checking the course for players, and with a car still in the parking lot. 

The boys tried to find alternate routes to no avail. There was one house, but they were afraid to go up to the house because by this time it was pitch black. They waited out front in the car for a few minutes hoping someone would come out and check on them but no one did. 

We, the 16 year old’s parents, had to go pick them up. They had to park their car up at the course and walk 1/2 mile back to the gate in the pitch black (there are no lights out there) and climb over the gate. 

We understand that sometimes people leave cars at golf courses due to drinking, but there is no excuse for a golf course to leave without a quick drive around to check for players. Especially knowing they have teens on the course starting at 5:30. 

We called Monday morning to let them know what had happened and were met with rude behavior. No regards for the boys’ safety, they just wanted to know if we were looking for a comp. 

We simply stated that if we ran a golf course, we would want to know that two boys had been locked in so that the protocol could be improved. The person on the phone said they would let the managers know when they arrived that day and have them call us. 

We did not receive a phone call. 

We are thankful that the boys’ phones had battery, and that nothing happened, but are extremely disappointed by Dragonfly’s lack of concern.

Beautiful views, tee boxes, fairways and greens! Got stuck behind a foursome of young men who played like they had never played before. Just a tough day when this happens.

For the price to play and as nice of a place this is, my only gripe is that there isn’t one single ball washer on the course

Course is a bit rough for the price. Used to be kept up better. Still a good place to play but cannot justify the cost compared to the conditions.

Course is really beginning to get in Great Shape. Greens nice but rolling a bit slow but still nice! Bunkers getting better but please try removing big rocks from some fairway bunkers. Otherwise a Great Golf Course but a very warm day! Golf course needs water stations every 3-4 holes especially during the summer months.

They just punched their greens probably a month or so and they’ve healed really nice, rolling true and firm. There is a few holes where the fringe is a little damaged, but I’ll typically just play ground under repair and move the ball no closer to the hole. Dragonfly is a great course but pace of play can get backed up, they don’t have a Marshall and there was a group of 10…that tee’d off in front of us. Just the fact they were letting that happen is bothersome. Luckily we played through them with no issues. Course is in good condition, one of my favorites, can be pricey though. Shot a 77 yesterday, not mad at that.

They just punched the greens not a week ago so I wasn’t expecting anything special but the fringe is completely gone. Chipping from anywhere close is difficult considering most of the grass has turned to hard pan. Fairways are in good shape but for the price you are going to pay it probably isn’t worth it. Also the staff can be very off putting.

Dragon Fly is usually more expensive. Now I know when Dragon Fly has a deal, it’s because course is under some type of improvement. I wish I had been made aware that greens had been plugged and sand was all over every green. I only played 9 because sand was so thick on the green that there could be no true putt made.
