Lone Tree Golf Club — Restaurant in Chandler

I'm giving 2 stars instead of 4 because of the way the starter treated my foursome. We played the front 9 on a cart-path-only day (which obviously slows down pace for everyone) in 2:20. We then stopped for 5 minutes at the turn to patronize their restaurant, buying $70 worth of food and drinks (on top of the $300 we had paid in greens fees). Upon heading back to our cart, the starter stopped us to inform us that people were "bunching up" behind our group. We were shocked and relayed that we weren't holding anyone up -- we had waited on 7 of the 9 preceding holes. He dismissed our statement and indicated we needed to pick up the pace. We finished in 4:40 (on a cart-path-only day), and waited on the group ahead of us for 14 of 18 holes. I strongly suspect that we were singled out for this erroneous and unnecessary quibble from the starter because we had two women in our group. (This is obviously conjecture, but I have a hard time imagining a foursome of men being told everyone was bunching up behind them and that they need to pick up the pace when such an assertion was demonstrably false.) It was a 30-second exchange that definitely put a significant -- and again, wholly unnecessary and incorrect -- blight on our day at Lone Tree.

Other than that sub-par experience (lame pun intended), it was a nice course! The greens were a little beat up, but fast and fun. We played just a few days after a massive rain storm and there was standing whatever abound to the left and right, but I don't recall seeing a single puddle in the fairway, which is incredibly impressive. For the price, I would have liked to have seen something with a little more imagination, but the overall quality was about what I’d expect for this...

I have to say that I am disappointed with the club house staff. I've been playing here for the last two summers 1-2 times a week. I book via the daily deals emails I get weekly and today, I had a reservation at 11:15 with a rate of $46.00 plus tax. Upon checking in, I'm told I didn't have a reservation even though I showed the guy a picture of my reservation. As he looked at it he said that wasn't for that course and that he didn't have any reservations for that price. I again showed him the picture of the reservation and told him I booked it through the weekly discount emails. He didn't appeared to know what I was talking about and had no clue what I was saying. He then asked if I booked at the right Lone Tree because there are 3 others with the same name as if I was stupid.

I told him I booked at the right course and that I had been playing there all summer 1-2 times a week and never had that problem. He then proceeded to go look at the history of my bookings to confirm what I was telling the truth. I was treated very poorly and was made to feel like everything I said was a lie. He continued to say that the only rates at that price are after 1 pm even though I continued to showed him a picture of the reservation.

Lone Tree, I go to play golf to enjoy myself and relax and not to be harassed by the staff as if I'm some kind of criminal. I will definitely take my business somewhere else. You need...

Second time I played this track, to be honest it was in eough shape on the greens and in many places on the fairways. They are planning to overseed next week which could be why some of the conditions are what they are. For the most part traps were playable with plenty of sand though some were a little hard in texture.

Most of the fairways were mostly playable but there were many brown spots (dirt) and grass was thin in many locations. Greens were receptive and very fast as the grass was very thin on them. Green side fringes and grass around the greens in general was in good condition. Water hazards appeared to be good condition speaking from birdseye view on #9. Driving range was in good condition with good variety of targets and range balls.

Course was easy to find using GPS, Pro Shop staff were professional and courteous. Restaurant staff was professional, friendly and spent time ensuring we had what we needed. Food was very good and was served timely. There is ample parking available in the parking lot.

I will try to get back to this track around the end of the summer to see if conditions...
