This is for the driving range only. At $14 for a medium bucket (only sizes are small/medium) this is the most expensive driving range I've ever been to for starters. What is here to justify the high price? Nothing. Conditions on the tees are often atrocious with a typical afternoon picture below. The range itself is bare bones with no yardage measurements given to the half dozen posts strewn about the range. A mound covering 2/3 of the range on the right side means you can't even see your ball land with short irons up the middle and longer irons on the right. There are no mock greens to aim for it's basically just a field.
The putting green is half decent. One side is ok but the north side has so much slope that it could never be used on a golf course for a pin placement so it's pretty useless for both putting and chipping practice. The practice chipping green is mostly useless as well. It's rounded shape means it will only hold a ball that comes to rest at the midpoint of the green. Everything else just rolls off.
I just spend a month in Calgary and practiced at the wonderful Mackenzie Meadows driving range where a large bucket is $13, the practice green is 2x the size of Seven Lakes and there's a separate 30-40 yard pitching area, free to use with range balls. I was...
Read moreWork in the States and took a day off to play on Canadian Thanksgiving with some friends. Called for a 2:30pm tee time and was told we could play 18 and to try and get there soon. Got there @ 2pm (tee'd off @ 2:30pm) and was told we could play 9 and check back in after the turn. Ok, we make the turn at 4:15pm and were told we couldn't finish, even though the back 9 was open and would finish well before dusk (we were held up by a walker on the front 9 and still completed it under 2 hours). I get that the staff wants to go home, but its disingenuous to let us think could play the full 18 when the staff or management wants to close up early. Just tell us we can ONLY play 9 and we can decide if we want to stay, or go somewhere else to play 18. Love the course, but this was handled badly. Also, $40 for 9 holes is just ridiculous, especially...
Read moreIf i could rate my experience 0 stars i would. After being delayed and other courses closing we were assured seven lakes could fit us in by SARAH in the pro shop! when we arrived we paid $86 dollars for a full 18 with carts. we were sent off the back nine because it was empty. At the turn we were told we’re not allowed to play the other 9 because there was a miscommunication with SARAH and the marshal. we were then given a rain check instead of a refund and told that we’re were the ones that didn’t hear her say we only could play 9 while being charged for a full 18 and a cart. Also while on the course the 2 marshals we ran into had nothing but horrible things to say about SARAH and her new management of the course and I can truly say i agree with every complaint they had about her. Very unorganized and no idea how to run...
