Evergreen Golf Club — Restaurant in Town of Lafayette

We’ve been golfing here regularly during the week and decided to bring friends out with us — one of whom was a newer golfer. We booked our tee time several days in advance, but when we arrived, the course was clearly overbooked. We weren’t moving fast, but our pace of play was reasonable — certainly not enough to warrant what happened next.

A cart staff member drove up to us and, rather than politely addressing any concern, approached with a shockingly rude and aggressive tone, telling us we were “holding everyone up.” While I fully understand the need to manage pace of play, his attitude was completely unnecessary and made our guests uncomfortable. From that point on, the newer golfers in our group felt pressured to skip shots or entire holes, and we ended up playing best ball just to avoid further conflict.

Ironically, we then had to wait at the very next hole — and beyond — behind another group. No one said a word to them. It felt targeted, especially considering our group was the only one nearby that included women. A ranger continued to circle us multiple times, which only added to the discomfort and made the experience feel unnecessarily hostile.

Our total time for 9 holes? About 90 minutes — completely reasonable. We had planned to speak with staff afterward, but left feeling too frustrated to escalate it further.

It’s a shame, because we genuinely enjoyed coming here and had hoped to make it a regular spot to bring friends. But after this experience, we’re hesitant to return — especially with guests. No one should feel rushed, judged, or unwelcome for simply trying to...

Let me start by saying Happy Easter to all! Our overall experience was hmm... let's start with the hostess sitting us in the bar area and fail to explain that we could go to the buffet. We asked for lemonade and received four of them when there were only two of us. (We were thirsty. Well, we were until two full lemonades were taken from us while we were getting our food.) The omelets were nothing to write home about. The fruit was good and ripe but not the star fruit. That was not ripe and had a sour taste. The salmon had the taste and texture of it being undercooked and had that bland fishy taste. Even the lemon didn't help it. Oh, let's not talk about the ribs... ok.. I will... while the meat fell off the bone, one of us thought it was delicious and the other one thought they were overcooked. The prime rib was tough, and the horseradish had an extra kick to it like no other I've tasted before. The desserts were slim pickings.... it seems as if they were running out. So the final bill came, and it was $90. So, looking back at this experience, it's not my intention to complain. We just wanted to share this dining experience with you all and have you decide your fate on a night out. We probably should've made earlier reservations, but we didn't. The outcome of this is that we are blessed with health, wealth, and prosperity of being able to enjoy this holiday. ...

We played 18 on the afternoon of August 21st, my wife had called and made a 1:00pm tee time a week prior. We were flexible on our time and there was no mention of a time restriction. We arrived for our tee time at 12:20 checked in and paid for the golf again no mention of a time restriction. We went to the starter at which point they told us we had to be off the course by 5pm and to proceed to the tee which we did there was a group in front of us so we ended up teeing off a little before 1. While we were playing it seemed like we were being watched by a ranger a little too much but we finished the front in a little under 2 hours stopped and picked up lunch and some beverages and finished the back between 5:05 and 5:10 at which point when I was walking off 18 the starter drives up to the green and berates us for not finishing by 5 and continues on for about 5 minutes until I just left. What was a very nice experience that afternoon, playing on a beautifully maintained course, became pretty negative experience after this...
