A group of 5 friends and myself called ahead of time to get a tee time a little before 1 o'clock on a Thursday. Once we arrived we all paid individually and received the keys to three total golf carts. We were a group of mostly beginners who had played less than 4 times and two of us could be considered intermediate level golfers. I will say before I encountered the staff the course was quite fun it was easy and although it was poorly upkept I can understand this seeing as it's a small course and a city park. However, once I met the manager of the establishment my entire experience was ruined. If you have ever met a person that speaks only in a condescending and snappy manner you can understand my pain. We had already let 3 groups play through when he approached and said "We don't play like this here, split into groups of 3 now." His tone was extremely negative considering it was my first time encountering him. On the next hole we began driving 3 at a time and then allowing the others to drive while the first 3 putted. After about 2 more holes the manager approaches again and says he "warned us once" and that what he really wanted was for 3 of us to go ahead and skip a hole to save time while the other 3 followed. He told us that we "all need to grab our bags and walk across the course to our cars". I was not going to get kicked off a golf course just for being a beginner without getting my money back. I went back to the clubhouse and spoke to the man who checked me out. I simply asked "were we not sent out as a group of 6?" and then the man began explaing their policies that he hadn't felt the need to explain earlier. Then the manager on his power trip returns and talks over me and this man's civilized discussion on the rules telling me to "Leave right now, you are not getting any money back". After I was informed he was the owner and manager I quickly realized my words were better spent elsewhere. I would like to mention that we never raised our voices or had bad course etiquette as our experienced golfers were coaching us on manners as well as the game itself. It just pains me to see that other people have had the same experience as being treated as a lesser patron due to lack of skill when it is marketed as a beginner course. The manager accused us of hitting balls at the landscapers (who were inconveniently posted up less than 20 feet outside of the green), which I informed him we actually lost a few strokes trying to avoid but never got near them. All in all this man showed us no kindness or courtesy and essentially saw a group of young guys who were bad at golf and assumed we were trouble. I would also like to mention that upon getting kicked out for having too large a group, there were no other golfers within the 4 holes behind us. read more
