Terrible customer service for people how pay through Golfnow

I live this course, I play almost every week here but today the customer service sucks.

Dan was in the pro shop and I ask for one extra golfer (already pay for one through golf now) and he was “I need your last name this is what we got, we can’t add more players this is pre pay you need to call and they refund you” that never happens to me here they are usually very friendly, anyway I just move on and go to other course.

Miserable experience.

Did not finish a round that started at 3 pm Due to darkness. 3-1/2 hours for 9 holes. 15 minute wait on every tee box. Felt like I was ripped off. Tried to get a rain check or half my greens fees back after the first 9 holes but was told the manager was gone for the day and no one else can do that. Plus. Not a ranger in site the whole day to push things along. Best entertainment of the day was sitting 4 groups deep on the third tee and watching the 5th group on the second green get hit into By the 6th and a near fistfight ensuing. Miserable experience

Ridiculously SLOW!!!

One of the worst golf experiences I’ve EVER had!! My tee time was 4:50. I actually teed off early (4:45) because the group ahead of me didn’t show. At 6:45 I had just finished the 7th hole!!! YES, it took me 2 hours to play 7 holes. No rangers came out to help with pace of play. The threesome in front of me were hitting more than one ball and would spend 5-7 minutes looking for their balls. No way they should be backed up like that...and remember, the group scheduled in front of me did not show so I could only imagine how much slower it would have been if they did. I could t get any rhythm with sometimes waiting 20 minutes in between swings. I just left after the 7th hole, I could t take it anymore. Waste of a beautiful Saturday afternoon that should have been a fun round of golf and a waste of $40

Great casual golf course

Not so hard that you want to break your club not so easy that you shoot under 90. Pace of play can get bad sometimes from newbies and weekend casual golfers but overall it doesn’t get awful. Best rangers at Sylvan always accommodating and Friendly. Fairways and greens can get a little beat up sometimes but never awful.

Nice Track!

We were pleasantly surprised with this golf course in Troy! Nice fairways and greens, and the tee boxes just looked like there was a lot of wear and tear on them, but still satisfactory. The pace of play was slow, but that is no fault of the golf course. Our 8-some had a wonderful, fun afternoon!

What You Would Expect

Basic local muni. Nothing noteworthy. On business trip for work and had some free time so decided to book a tee time. The webpage would not let me register to book and kept kicking my email address out so I had to book through golf now which was a little irritating. Showed up early for tee time and course was pretty packed. Was able to get out at my scheduled time but the pace was slow. Couple groups took way too long to play. Would like to see some kind of marshal on the course. One group in particular 2 ahead of us was the ones slowing everyone down. When one of the guys hit multiple balls off the 1st tee for no reason someone should have said something at that point. Course itself wasn’t bad. Nothing really stands out tho. Literally what you would expect. There are a lot of courses in the area and probably better options if you are up this way.
