Let me just say, I hate that I feel the need to even put this review up but I got robbed so here it is. I went to this course on a cloudy Sunday afternoon with my younger brother hoping to play 9 holes. Keep in mind this is my first time here. You pull up to the course and are greeted immediately by the clubhouse and parking lot. The lot seemed pretty full, but it’s a large 18 hole golf course right? Plenty of room for people. So, my younger brother and I go inside and pay the nice lady. $60 for two people in this small town course. We go to the first tee and it is abundantly clear to us that we were in fact, NOT going to be able to play golf this day. The sheer number of people on the course made playing under proper golf etiquette almost entirely impossible. The course has a 90° cart path only driving rule which makes for a nice course and fairway, love that. The problem today was the course was FULL of people, groups, of 3-5 people ALL throughout the course. With this rule you are in for a very long 9-18 hole game when you’re in a group of more than 2 people. So we start to tee off and see that there, in fact, was a group of 5 younger men directly in front of us who seemed to be patiently waiting on their time to hit as well. See, because they too had to play the wait game since EVERY HOLE was packed with people it seemed. So, being sensible people, it was already afternoon time and we aren’t the best straight hitting golfers in the world. We did not want to risk hitting into anyone or getting hit into and coming across as rude to others/ getting into possible arguements. So my brother and I decided to ask the cashier if a refund and/or rain check would be possible under this terribly busy day. I was really hoping to try this course out, ya know? Now this is where things get interesting. She explains to me that the owner of the course has informed her to under no circumstances give out refunds, and that rain checks were also a no go policy unless there was a clear storm happening outside. To the owner. Really? You have a course FULL of people I’m guessing most weekends. I hear about your course a lot around here, And you can’t afford to allow a rain check to two paying customers who are just trying to play a proper etiquette game? It seems you enjoy rules at your course and etiquette itself, yes? So, Would you rather have had us play and wait hours upon hours to finish a game of 9 holes between us two and push near the limit for your cart return/ course closure? Or would you rather have had us be impatient and hit into people?
For a course with this many rules on dress, golf etiquette, etc, I’m shocked. You’d think as most golf courses would, a rain check would at least be due considering the fact the customers were just trying to play a nice game of golf and not hit into anyone or push over the workers on time. You would think a course owner would understand a situation such as this and love to see people being patient to play his course, instead of piling on and causing possible issues where clearly there were already going to be some from people. Overall just dissapointing. Just go to fox chase people. Less holes but god is it more like golf than this house of rules. Just my 2 cents or...
