Country club conditions / municipal fees.

This course is a hidden gem. Immaculately kept, Good mix of tight and wide open holes , challenging par 3’s , and some nice placement shot holes. Not the longest , but it’s fun due to the variety of different holes . Staff is always friendly. Simple single small clubhouse , not much extras , no range , but some nice chipping areas . Great course for the money

Prairie Isle in the rain

Great course, love the challenging layout. Rained all morning but that kept most people away. Played the entire round in just over 2 hours. Even wet it’s a great course. We’ll maintained in every category. Will be back many times

I hate starting on the 10th tee.

Hey guys,

We love your course. It's awesome! We love your course and all your people. The only downside is we've now played there three times and I believe twice we had to start on the 10th tee. We asked why ask were told it's because of leagues. I get it. However, we don't want to do that. It would be better if we could start on the 1st. Of course, you could also just ask your customers where they want to start. That would spread out the players too I suppose.

We were told you guys change it weekly. So now I'm wondering if I need to keep track of which weeks are "good" or what. Maybe you should post it somewhere. Or better yet, just let us start on the 1st tee if we want.

Nonetheless, we love your course. Thank you very much for a great round on Monday!!!

Thanks!

Does a reservation time guarantee that you will play?

I have enjoyed playing golf for over 60 years. I have never had an experience like I did yesterday. I was teamed up with 3 other golfers who also had an 11am tee time, so I thought.

When I got to the 1st tee there was no starter. There were 4 other golfers who informed me that they had an 11am tee time from GolfNow.

I showed them my reservation but they wouldn’t show their reservation to me.

They told me that I should run after the group in front of us who we’re already near the green.

I went to the clubhouse and the cashier told me he had no idea of why they thought that they 4 people there vs 3 that were signed up with GolfNow.

I later talked to the manager and he said he knew nothing about what happened but what do you expect me to do.

I WALKED OUT.

WHAT IS GOLFNOW GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS.
