2/5
We had a party of 6 with us for context… before booking a tee time, I called to confirm that if we booked two consecutive tee times, we could play together, and the man on the phone said that there would be absolutely no issue that that. Just to confirm, before arriving to the course the morning of, I called again and asked if it would be okay, they again said absolutely no problem considering we booked two back to back tee times. When we got there, the college-aged starter who acted like he owned the place absolutely shut down the idea of us playing together even though we confirmed it twice with the staff in the golf shop. After telling him this, he continuously blew us off and told the ranger to keep an eye on us so that we didn’t play together throughout the day. Well, the ranger did just that, acting like the task of him watching us was as important as protecting the president. The ranger barely left our side all day and made our two groups of three players extremely uncomfortable. There was a time where he left us for a few holes, but around the 13th hole, he literally followed us and sat on our cart path and stared at us playing until we finished the 18th hole. Didn’t say a word, wasn’t respectful in the slightest, just stared and followed us around. Considering how much our group paid to play here, I expected much better from this course. Also, there were no groups behind us at all so playing with all 6 of us at a time would have been no issue. The ranger’s job on any golf course is to make sure that the flow/pace of play is not being altered in any way and that the course’s rules and regulations are being followed. If this is the rangers job, following a single group all day long who are abiding by the rules means that the ranger is not doing his own job. The quality of the course, the greens, bunkers, fairways, etc., were great. No issues there. It ultimately came down to the staff who completely ruined our day for all 6 of us in the group and we will not be returning.
