Staff Rude, unfriendly to Golf Now

Just to reiterate the previous review, after booking with Golf Now as I have for 2 years at Salt Creek, staff stated they had No Information about my reservation and would not honor the prepaid greens fees unless I could “prove it to them that I had already paid”. I handed the employee my e-mail receipt and the employee claimed it did not “prove I had paid”. He pretended as if he was unable to scroll a phone message and I had to scroll the receipt further to show him “no balance due”. As you can imagine, this disrespect angered me and we almost came to blows in the clubhouse.

I was very upset on arrival due to the fact that when I was at the club house they had no information about my tee time what so ever !! I told them I had paid in full already for the round and they said there was nothing no info, so I had to prove to them that I did book it and paid in full, which was very strange because I never had this problem before.

Salt Creek

The course is short and fun to play and great for your short game. but we got stuck behind a senior foursome of woman that were a bit slow and it slowed our pace of play. But that was the first time that happened to me on this course.
I would definitely play it again.

Not worth the time

They allowed a group of 6 to play ahead of us and really slowed everyone down behind. And there was no course ranger to speed things up. Course is small but you should know that before you book - no par 5s. It’s not well laid out or marked.

Put up signs directing people from hole #1 to hole #2 and so on. I was frustrated and will not go back to that course
