Golf Now Tee Time

Don’t usually do this because of my retail background, but Cedar Chase golf course has lost my business for good plus the 3 others I was supposed to golf with. We will certainly be spreading the word to our friends.

Went to cedar chase own website to book a tee time 2 days ago. Booked a hot deal at 9:15am for 4. Paid in full through golf now, got my reservation sent to my email. Went to the course and was told I didn’t have a tee time under my name. Meanwhile I had 2 friends who drove an hour to golf your course. The lady working the desk told me she didn’t have my reservation, but because I booked through “golf now” and I did it online it’s not there responsibility now. Even though I booked it through their website? She told me there was nothing she could do, even though I paid in full. There was no one playing in front of us as we were the first tee time, she wouldn’t let us on at all. At least offer me something? What terrible service you have. Aren’t you always supposed to help the customer? Also, can’t you run your own tee times? Instead of through a terrible service like golf now. Poorly ran, never coming back there again. Take pride in keeping your customers coming back. Don’t send them off with a “not our problem”

Great course

Love the course. It is always in great shape. Conner the superintendent does a great job. Love the layout. My only knock is. The staff could be more out going. A couple people that work there just arent people friendly. But that is my only complaint and that isnt really a complaint.

What a great place to play a round of golf. The course was in excellent condition, fairways and greens were awesome. The staff in the clubhouse and on the course were very freindly and respectful. One of the nicest courses to play in or around the Grand Rapids area. Only being 25 minutes north of Grand Rapids it is definitely

worth the trip to play a great course like this, and it is very reasonably priced also.

Unbelievably Poor Customer Service

On a rare weekday off, I played on a gorgeous day, enjoyed the player's Commons of whom I met that morning and had a wonderful day golfing, however on the 12th hole I experienced the absolutely worse treatment of a guest I have ever experienced in a golf course!

The course was aeriating it's greens and after a drive the maintenance guy did not put the pin in for my partner and I to approach. I drove up and asked if he could put the flag in at which time he refused saying, "If I put it in I'll just have to take it out 30 seconds later." At which time I removed the rag in the cup and put my highbrid in the home so that we could hit our second shots.

After we left to head to the next tee the employee asked, Sir, are you forgetting something?" I said, "No," and admittedly was rude to this gentleman who did not seem anxious to help us out at which time he claimed to be the owner and ask me to leave the course.

My partner interceded and after I apologized for my comment played the remaining six holes. I mentioned this to the gentleman at the pro shop, however he did nothing mentioning that this maintenance worker was actually the owner's son.

Love the course, but this isn't the first time that I've experienced such treatment of the course's guests.

It was shocking that anyone would behave so poorly claiming to be there owner of the course, refusing to do something as simple as put the pin in for a few minutes then lying and trying to pick me off the course!?

Just be aware that this course seems to pride itself on the course conditions, but not how it treats it's guest.

Hidden Gem!

I was really impressed with this course. I am always looking for new and exciting courses to play and this course was very nice. The layout was nice and the condition of the course was great. One of the top 5 courses I have played this year. Will definitely play it again.

Nice Course close to Grand Rapids

Cedar chase is a great course close to Grand Rapids. The conditions are always good. The tee boxes were a little beat up but fairways and greens were great.

Challenging

I love this course, very challenging from blue tees and the tips. Its a fair test of golf, the greens are fast and true but would be better if people fixed their ball marks. I have always thought Cedar Chase is the toughest course in the greater Grand Rapids area. I recommend this place to anyone.

Most of my friends are cops and they told me to get your phone out and video it, and verbally say that he does not have permission, and after call the police (non emergency line) and then they can go at him for unlawful search and seizure. Who cares if his relative is a lawyer. I posted a review on them before and they deleted it. The manager told me he had no relation to the owner and all this other stuff but I posted proof of it all and threatened litigation and they deleted it like nothing happened

Same here...it's weird watching someone go through your golf bag for no reason at 10am on a Monday, take stuff, not give it back.

How do you even stop that? The only way would be to physically move him out of the way but he made it clear his dad is a lawyer and I'd get a lawsuit so quick my head would spin.

tight and challenging

This course is really a bargain for the money, 30 minutes north of Grand Rapids in traffic, Senior rate is 27 during the week, make no mistake though, you must be accurate!. The trees move right over in the way on a regular basis! (ha) the greens are hard and fast and smooth, the fairways are really mowed in beautifully with multiple cuttings like much more expensive courses. I'll play it again for sure

Love this course

Honestly, this course iis the most challenging public courses you will play in the greater GR area. Not for wimps. But, it's also beautiful. We had a great deal today for 3, but senior rates are $25. Anyway, this course is a must.play if you're in the area.

Music To LOUD

All was fine except for the group that was playing excessively loud annoying music the next fairway over. We let them know in the clubhouse at the turn and the response was it’s not our problem. I will recommend this course to my friends that like loud music being played during their round of golf.
