Poor Management

Purchased a tee time on GolfNow 2 weeks prior. When I arrived at the pro shop I was told there was a members tournament being played and I shouldn’t have been there. I questioned why I was able to purchase a tee time and they said “That’s our mistake”. After paying (with a $5 discount because they appreciated my honesty after thinking I paid through GolfNow when I didn’t) they sent me to the tee box to start and I was once again questioned by the ranger. He asked if I was a good golfer and if I’d slow anyone down if he let me on. I was told to “Stay out of the way of the tournament, and let the tournament players play through if it got backed up”. After a few holes I got paired up with other non-tournament players who experienced similar situations. After playing the front 9 over 3 hours I decided to call it quits, even though I purchased 18. Pace of play was awful, so much so that several of my partners left throughout the front 9.

Greens were fast and very well manicured. Roughs were filled with grass clippings and fairways were a weeded dust bowl. Overall not a bad course for $30, but management was a joke.

Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
