"If a ruler pays attention to lies, all his servants become wicked."

On #3 on the North Course, a par 3, I hit my tee shot pin high 20' left of the flag in the first cut. As I approached the green someone on a mower approached from another hole I guess, and began driving almost parallel with me towards the green. He parked just past my ball, between my ball and the green. He may have had 2 tires on the fringe.

He got off the mower, left the mower idling full speed, and began tossing the rakes in the bunker to mower around the bunker(s) I guess. HE KNEW I WAS THERE.

Speaking over the mower, I said, "My balls right there." He said, "I didn't see it." I said, "But you saw me playing the hole." Anyhow, he was unapologetic and said multiple times that he wasn't a robot; never offering to pull away until I finished the hole. The mower was about 3' past my line. I think he knew my ball was there when he pulled up. I picked up and left.

I've only left a course during a round because of something like this one other time in my life that I can remember.

Anyhow, I have no idea how an employee can talk to a customer like this and not be respectful enough to wait somewhere away from the green until golfers finish the hole.

The course is in great shape (greens a tad firm but rolling well).

Very nice course, my first time to play or try to play, but I left after two holes and ending up writing a review instead of playing.

The people in the pro shop said I could play the South course but I decided to leave.

Why wouldn't maintenance crewmembers respect golfers?

Update:

This morning I went back. The lady in the pro shop said the superintendent talked to the employee and the employee said it was a misunderstanding. If it were a misunderstanding the employee could have pulled away from the green and let me finish the hole. And there would be no need for this review. I told the lady, "it was not a misunderstanding."

I asked for a refund. At first the lady said they didnt give refunds. She seemed to have went and talked to someone and then returned and gave me the refund.

It seems to me honesty doesn't...

EXPENSIVE! We are not residents yet so it was spendy. It was nice but u couldn't have 3 carts on the same fairway at the same time...makes no sense.. there were probably 80 carts throughout the morning with their senior shot gun start before our round and there will be 50 more after us but 3 carts at once is not allowed...I was just riding along and my husband hooked up with 3 other people. I stayed on the cart path as instructed while my husband had to walk at every hole.paid $104 to basically walk. Most ridiculous thing we have ever heard. The course Marshall made it clear...checking on us several times....

HORRIBLE Service! Service was atrocious, I had just started then a huge Arizona monsoon came through. So I had to end my day. I tried to asks the "pro shop" lady if they would do a rain check for me. She was extremely rude saying they do not provide rain checks. The attitude was the worse part. I would strongly advise not to golf here if this its ok to treat customers like this. I even left a note asking for someone to contact me, I shouldn't be surprised by this but no one reached out.

Bottom line, there are plenty of other places to golf so go somewhere where they...
