Bad attitudes

Let me be clear, I did not play this course. We arrived 40min prior to our tee time, there was some rain approaching and we were told that once we paid we would NOT get a rain check. I have played golf all around the country, for well over 10yrs and I have never heard of no rain checks, with the exception of special events which this was not. We were told because it was a twilight tee time (3:44pm) that they didn't offer rain checks because of the discounted price. Ok. Couple options they could offer... Give me a rain check for the price I paid or give me a twilight rain check only. Not only was that an issue but the guy at the desk was unbelievably rude and could have cared less if we played there or not. Last time I checked this wasn't a country club. That aside, with golf looking to get younger people into the game why would a highly touted course be so rude. My group decided maybe we should just play nine because of the rain approaching (about 2hrs away). The wonderful gentlemen at the desk said "we don't do that here, you pay full price for 9 or 18. Huh.... Last time I checked money was money, then again maybe they are not affected by the massive amount of courses closing each year. Very poor customer service.

Not what it once was!!!

I play this course several times a month, (it is close to my house) and have played this course a lot over the past 5-6years. Gold Mountain was in great shape just after they hosted The Nationals and for a little bit after that. Since the city has bought them out they have declined greatly.
The price is way too high for the course conditions and quality. Fairways are badly taken care of, greens are greatly mismanaged and the carts need to be replaced. As I said, I play here several times a month, so this isn't a one time complaint. I play on weekends and weekdays. I have yet to play on a weekend and have the cart person come around more than once, if at all. The halfway house is hardly open, which causes huge backups on the back nines. They do have marshals out on the course, and for the most part they are very nice, yet very worthless. In the last 6 months of playing here I have yet to play a round under 5hrs. They group tee times way too close together and often let fivesomes out together.
I have asked about the beverage cart on several occasions to be told, no one showed up today. Maybe its time to hire people, especially when you're charging $80 plus with a cart, its not that nice of a course.
The range needs reseeding greatly. It is nothing but sand.
I wish this course (both courses) would get the attention they deserve, it really was once a very great place to play. The views are great, its just too bad you're paying for them as opposed to the golf.

Course is slipping greatly!!

The clubhouse is nice, the pro shop is small and needs more of a selection of golf balls. We all don't use Titleist. I have golfed this course several times a year for the past 5yrs and with the new ownership, new problems. The marshals drive around and do nothing, they are very unfriendly and worthless. I recently played a round on July 3rd, great weather, great day for golf. There was a foursome two groups a head that slowed the entire course down, took 5 1/2hrs to complete our round. We asked the "marshal " several times to do something and he could have cared less. The halfway house was closed and there was no drink cart out until 1pm (we teed off at 1030) . Sadly this has become an everyday occurence lately. The dress code also seems to have disappeared. We saw several people wearing jeans and cutoffs. Sadly it seems new ownership has hurt this once great course.
