My favorite 9-hole course to play at, ruined by a horrible staff experience
Let me start by saying I have been playing at Flagg Creek for most of my young adult life. This is the place where my buddies and I learned how to golf. Going out for a twilight round, hitting the range, hitting balls into the water on the 4th hole. I have a lot of love for this course, and have played it (around) 25 times, and have loved each of those rounds.
Unfortunately, this all seemed to go out the window this past Saturday, when we were treated like children by a starter who attempted to put words in our mouths regarding our treatment of her staff, and questioned our own sanity to try and save her own image of herself.
My buddies and I went out (the six of us) at two different tee times, one after the other. We were never planning to play as a six-some, as that would’ve severely slowed down play. The rain started to fall after our first hole drives, so we had to evacuate. We sAt in our cars to wait it out, and eventually came back to the (now mostly empty) course to start our round again. Since it was so empty, we asked the starter if the six of us could all just tee of together, and she said yes. So off we went, and were playing at a decent pace until we were eventually caught up to by a single player, who we agreed with the ranger to let play through. The ranger helped us along the way, making sure that our day of golf wasn’t ruined by the pace of play, the weather, etc. In fact, he moved us BACK a few holes, and actually allowed us to play a few extra, which we all appreciated greatly.
Two holes later, things began to take a turn for the worse. The same ranger who we had been speaking with throughout the round came up to us to explain that the Starter had “not authorized us to leave the first hole as a six-some”, even though she did. Her cart came screaming down the path towards us, and when she arrived she began to call us liars, and accused us of mincing her words and disgracing her good name (granted we saw this woman for about 5 minutes at the very start of the round, and that’s it).
After she was done chewing us out (as well as not letting us explain ourselves whatsoever) she let us go on our way, and we split up into groups of 4 and 2 (which we offered to do from the start, and the other ranger had told us that 6 would be ok).
Just an awful awful experience at a place I have loved for years, and will no longer be coming back to.
If you end up going to Flagg, make sure that you check with the starter at least 5-10 times before you begin your round that you and your friends are ok to go out on the course. If not, she’ll treat you like a child. As all of my buddies and I are recent high school grads, we felt so terrible about it all.
Really great course
Went golfing with a friend and we had a really great time. Super nice and a good challenge for us! Gonna play this course a bunch now that I know how great it is.
Flagg Creek
Nice course, quick round, course in excellent condition. Courteous, friendly staff.
Enjoy the course but the pace is bad
We were paired with another 2 people. It seemed like we were going right behind someone else and others were right behind us. We were constantly playing catch up and slowing down. Couldn't enjoy our time this time around.
Hello and thank you for reviewing us. We see that you rated the course 3-stars and are interested in learning what we can do to improve before your next round? Please feel free to comment on this review or reach out to the team in the golf shop for further explanation. We always appreciate the feedback. Thank you for playing Flagg Creek Golf Course, and we hope to see you again soon.
Really enjoyed
Great course. Everything was well kept staff was helpful since it was our first time here. Likes the little driving range right next to the 1st hole. Got there early and had plenty of time to take some practice shoots and putt around.
Great 9 hole course for the money.
I always enjoy playing Flagg Creek, the greens are in great shape. The course can be challenging but still very fair. Great value for the money!!!
Triple booked
We were waiting for 15+ minutes on every hole. They double / Triple booked the tee times. Called the ranger twice but he did absolutely nothing to resolve the situation. Will not be going back. 9 holes took over 2.5 hours.
Hello, thank you for taking the time to review the course. We would like to apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. We are glad to see you rated the course conditions and layout to be great during your game. Thank you for playing Flagg Creek Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.
Nice and quick
I love this course. Pace of play was pretty good!
Great Bang for your Buck!!
Friends and I went to this course around June 2019 and fell in love. We keep coming back, it is that fun and great of a course. It's close by, cheap, quick, and moderately challenging course. There are some tough holes and like numbers 5 and 9 that keep you on your toes. We definitely will keep coming back.
good place to play 9 holes good place to play 9 holes
Rain
Got rained out of both 6:15 and 6:30 t times. Could I get other dates ???
Hi, we are very sorry for the inconvenience you experienced at the course. Please feel free to reach out to our team in the pro shop for further resolution in this matter. We hope that we can clear up any confusion and that you will give us another try in the future. We look forward to hearing back from you!
Hello again Flagg,
Appreciate the half hearted reply to my review of course. I’ve now read countless reviews of the course, many simply based around the terrible treatment that your Starter gives to golfers, acting like it’s a privilege that anyone is allowed to relax and play a round of golf at her course. If you actually want to make a real improvement for some of your younger customers, possible hire a starter that has the ability to treat everyone with respect.
Hello and thank you so much for leaving us a review and rating of the course. Let us first start by apologizing for your experience during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make the necessary improvements before your next game and we will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Flagg Creek Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.
