Called in advance and asked what the best way to have 6 people out was. We were trying to get our wives lol into playing and it was their first time. They explain they had a busy schedule and couldnât accommodate a 6some so we decided two of our wives would ride one would play. Paid the extra cart fee. Guy at the desk was super helpful and nice. Bob I believe was his name.
Get there, pay, hit the range, and the marshal starts being somewhat confrontational from the start. I spoke to the group behind us, saying we were a foursome with a new girl who had never played and weâd probably be slow. To please play through when theyâd like. They mentioned that they were okay, but that the marshal had given them a hard time a week before because theyâd played with a 12 year old and the marshal kept hounding them to play faster.
Fast forward 9 holes and the group
Behind us hadnât waited hardly at all. We were playing fast enough that we were waiting at multiple tee boxes because of the foursome in front of us, who were playing a normal pace, like us, who finished 9 in 2:15.
Went to the snack bar and spent 135$ on snacks to come out to the marshal telling us we need to play faster that we had to catch up and weâre taking to long. Meanwhile the group behind us was still on the green of 9, weâd already paid, eaten hotdogs, etc and they still werenât done with 9, yet the handlebar mustache marshal and the other fellah, were so inclined to hurry us along saying we needed to catch up.
So we hit, had a couple good shots, and proceeded onto the back. The marshal met us at the green of hole 11, 12, 13, and 14. Sitting at the green staring us down, not speaking a word even when spoken to. It wasnât until I waved at him on 14 that he even acknowledged that heâd been intimidating us into playing faster. But instead of taking the chance to ask us to skip a hole, or let a group play through, he drove off. (At no point was a group behind us waiting on the tee box, Not a single time) proceed to 16 where he waited for us to be putting when he approached the women of the group and told them ânext time yâall come, wait until later in the day so you donât have to deal with meâ
Fast forward to 18, still nobody waiting on us, weâd played the hole are are parked in the firld(deep rough) beyond the green(we arenât great at golf) and he approaches the women again, after weâd walked onto the green. We saw him waiting for us to walk away before he drove up, I walked back and asked what he needed. We were on 18, putting, seemingly how could he have anything left to say. He said ânot that youâll care, but you shouldnât have your cart parked thereâ
We got into it after that. Needless to say we wonât be back. Course was in great shape cart girl Haley was great. Pro shop bob was great. That marshal ruined my wifeâs first ever round of golf, we wonât be back. Ever. 350$ from 1 round of golf at a off the beaten path golf course that should be appreciative of the business....
