Golf North has been around for a while now and has been progressively taking over ownership or management of many courses in the Kitchener Waterloo region (and other areas).
I am sure I am not the first person to have trouble dealing with Golf North and wanted to start this listing so that others can join in to the discussion.
Almost everyone knows that the condition of a course starts to go down as soon as Golf North gets involved in management. We are losing some of our good courses in the region to this phenomenon - with the latest being RiverEdge and RebelCreek.
Golf North has also moved courses to a central control model where it is very difficult to even get through to the pro-shop at any individual course. They have also implemented a central reservation system that is substandard in so many ways it is difficult to make a list. The staff at the central control central control center consistently make mistakes on bookings and are also incompetent to assist with any changes to bookings you are actually able to make on-line. To add to the issue, Golf North is now requiring a credit card at time of booking so that they can bill you if you do not show up for your tee-time. I understand the intent but it seems like overkill.
For now, I am looking for any courses other than Golf North to play in the region - any ideas? read more
