Unprofessional and unkept. I have golfed here for 15 years, mainly because its close by home and there are usually plenty of open tee times. The course is typically not in the best shape, but it is fine for a day of practice or casual golfers. Unfortunately, I will not be going back here again. 2 in my group had one of their robot mowers start repeatedly running into the passenger side of the cart while they were out of it and lining up their next hit. Unable to move the cart now, and with the blades still spinning next to their feet, they hit the large STOP button and looked for groundskeepers to let them know what was happening. The groundskeeper came over and started immediately berating and belittling them for touching the mower. They calmly explained the situation and the groundskeeper started mocking them for touching the machine and then told them to leave for hitting the STOP (with no other option as the mower was basically under the cart with blades still moving), while driving away giving them the finger and yelling "buh-bye, buh-bye". My friend who was with that cart went to the owner to de-escalate the situation, apologized for the misunderstanding and let him know what had transpired. The owner didn't want to hear the story and just spoke disrespectfully and mockingly to him as if he was a child and told them to leave. Not seeing what had happened, they said that the robots "just don't do that" and they have cameras on the course. I asked them to please not take our word for it and please review the camera footage, and we would not be back regardless due to the blatant mocking and disrespect to their patrons in a dangerous and unintended situation. I have never seen this kind of crazy, trashy attitude in my 15 years of going there before, not sure if something is going on with them (the kitchen also could not serve hot food or tab water as they had to stop due to something with inspection and water contamination as they had posted).
There are a handful of courses in better shape and for the same price near the area; Bird's Foot, Saxon, River Forest, Pheasant Ridge. I would definitely recommend to choose one of these instead, really regardless of the altercation we had and just for better course quality. Very sad but at least plenty of better options! read more
