Terrible 1st impression

Brooked a tee time. Dressed appropriately.
Went to check in for my tee time. They would NOT allow me to play because I had my 2, 5 pound dogs with me….who are elder and sit on the cart the ENTIRE round…
Mind you there is NO rule on their website or a written policy. I have played hundreds of golf courses throughout the United States, this was a very 1st for me. Will not be returning. Make this course a private course again. Keep the public from seeing or interacting with the people of this facility.

Stay Far Away

Never got to play. Had a prepaid time for 3 of us. Got to the course an hour and a half early. Couldn’t go in the clubhouse cause no mask. But I didn’t need to pay because it was prepaid. I asked if we can check in outside? No. Offered 20$ for a mask, he said No. offered 20$ for his mask on his face. He said No. offered 5$ for one from the garbage, He said No. asked me my tee time and made a smart comment that I’m really early anyhow. I said “F&$@ this”. He said to leave as he is calling the sheriff. Booked at Magnolia Landing an hour later and they took great care of us. Told people about the poor service at Sabal Springs and it spread like Wildfire to the point that after the round, everyone who I saw commented about Sabal Springs and the GM who is on a power trip. Let the Snowbirds have Sabal Springs. Plenty of other courses out there that know how to treat customers.

Tee off

Due to surgeries it has been 3 years since we have been able to play. It was so good to be back on a course & an executive course was perfect. We were paired with a mother & daughter and it worked out wonderfully. The daughter is just Learning the game so we didn’t feel any pressure and since we weren’t “up to par” she felt no pressure either. We had a very nice round. The pro shop has more items than I recall from before and the staff is very accommodating. The restaurant isn’t open yet so the 19th hole was out. Hopefully next time we are there it will be reopened.

hostile staff

If I were Golf Now I'd cancel my contractual relationship with Sable Springs. First of all, the guy at the pro shop couldn't have been more unwelcoming and rude. Upon entering the pro shop
the guy says "Are you golf now golfer?".
I said "yes".
he says "show me your confirmation number!".
I said ""What? I have no idea what the confirmation number is, I've played 200 times with golf now no one has every asked me to produce a confirmation no".
He says "I need your confirmation number or you can't play here".
He made me go thru my phone until I produced the number..
He then says "There are 3 of you golf now golfers and you MUST play together". I said "OK".
BTW there was no one and I mean no one on the golf course on a Saturday at 11:47am in SW Florida!!!
I then met a golf now golfer named "cat" who was very nice. We went to the 1st tee with no one around at all and I teed it up at 11:47am our tee time.
The guys runs out of the pro shop and yells: "You MUST wait for the other golf now golfer".
my partner says "What????, It's 11:47am our tee time why do we have to wait for the other guy? I never heard of such a thing!!".
The pro shop guys says "You MUST give him 10 more minutes"..
We gave he 3 mins and then we teed off.
The pro shop guy collars from afar "Wait for him now!".
We waited another 4 or 5 mins and then drove the cart off since we had teed off, no one was on this course.
The course was really bad too..
My partner says to me on the first green "I'm never playing here again". I said "me too!".
like i said If I were Golf Now I'd cancel my contractual relationship with Sable Springs.!!
