Stamford Valley Golf Course — Local services in Stamford

If you’re under the age of 30 this place is not worth your time. The blatant disrespect and harassment based off of our age and our unfamiliarity with this golf course is astounding. Me, and a group of friends showed up on a Friday with our clubs, rented a cart, and went out to the greens for our previously set time allotment. The staff disregarded, (or didn’t care?) enough to mention the fact that there was a women’s league attending at a similar time so we would have to hurry (this was mentioned as we were walking out the door after paying). No problem with us as we’re unfamiliar with the course and not regulars, until we were badgered 3 times before we were off of hole one. My significant other didn’t even get her club out before she was pestered by the middle aged man who shall remain nameless as if I mention a name this will get taken down. We were told to skip hole two and go straight to three. Again, no issue with that we try our best to be respectful. Issue with this was the four golfers ahead were at hole three. So we got to wait at hole three, and missed hole three as well as the golfers behind us were catching up. We got pestered TWO more times before hole 5. They pestered us about everything from drinking (which me and my partner do not do, although legally able) to telling us that if we don’t skip holes when necessary that we are: And I quote “wasting (the middle aged man’s) money and that we would be charged for not hurrying up” we were also told that we “may not understand but this is how it is when you run a business” (the gentleman I was golfing with runs his own business, and definitely in no manner such as this) but I digress. Again… we missed multiple holes, paid the same as everyone else and were obediently respectful of the staff, the rules, and the golf carts which we rented. My significant other opted to not play as she got to touch a club ONE TIME by hole 3, as did my friends significant other. I could draw this out and give every inch of detail in the disrespectful manner that we were addressed in from the time we walked in to the time we were shoo-ed out but I will let it rest. Moral of this story is if you’re under 30 years of age they will have utter disrespect specifically based on your age. I felt unwelcome and threatened as did my significant other. The only smiles I saw at this establishment was the woman behind the counter when I handed her my fee (she was actually pleasant) and one of the women’s league members who I spoke with briefly on the way out. It’s very unfortunate when the woman that we were apparently burdening was more welcoming to the course she didn’t work at than the establishments workers themselves. I left without being disrespectful. Only asked for a viable explanation and couldn’t get one. No yelling no bickering and nothing of that sort. I will not be back, regardless of being welcome or not that couldn’t matter less to me. I will be telling friends and family about this AWFUL experience. So much for a good end to a long week with some friends on a nice day… On the other hand if you’re of similar age to the people who we felt harassed by they may treat you with some respect. As a young man in his early 20s who was raised to be respectful by parents similar age to those who caused this review; places like this are what’s wrong with trying to indulge in an unfamiliar sport. I hope this saves some fellow young people some time. I hear the course about 25 mins south is a lot more welcoming and respectful of those looking for a good time. I can completely understand having rules and regulations. I can also completely understand that having a group maybe stressful (but people who do the scheduling should theoretically account for this, no?) I do understand time arrangements as I was actually 5 mins early and waited until my designated time not to cause any issue. I do understand that we’re unfamiliar with this course and relatively new to this sport as a whole. What I cannot fathom is disrespecting me and my significant other in a manner such as...

If I could post a rating of 0 stars I absolutely would. This place is an utter embarrassment to the sport of golf. About everyone in this place of business was either egotistical, sarcastic, or for some reason thought they were above the customers (this is NOT how you create a return customer). It’s pretty apparent that if you want to bring your younger ones along for a day of golf that you’ll be harassed to hurry up and golf 9 holes in 1.5 hours max or that you must leave. This place is a money grab with horrible staff and customer service if I’ve ever seen one. My phone prompted me to write a review of my experience, it definitely was an experience. A BAD ONE! take your hard earned money and valuable time as far away from here as possible. I’ll take an extra half hour driving to another...

I've been golfing here for 2 weeks now with no issues! Today I had brought my children with me to golf and spend time with me on Father's Day with there uncle as well, I was told that I needed to pay for them to be out on the course. So I got money out of the ATM, she began to ask me if they have golfed before I said ya but not on the course. Then after the lady said you know what never mind you have to golf 9 holes in 2 hours or less. I'm not allowing you to go out sorry! After driving an hour and half with my kids to spend time on there course on Father's Day I was told to leave! My brother in law has been going there for 20 years and was upset of the way we were treated today. Disrespectfully. I guess I'll take my...
