North Course

Course conditions had to do with the heavy rain, lots of flooded areas, greens were very nice.

Front desk guy doesn't like Golf Now, and if he finds out you used it will treat you like stole from them.
Cart guy was a nice dude.
Course was difficult to navigate. Not too detailed on how to move from hole to hole, especially since courses run up against each other.

Couldn't finish the 2nd hole, the ground crew wouldn't quit mowing, or move far enough away to hit a ball, I'm not on the tour, I wouldn't be anywhere near the green.

Left some to be desired.

Solid course

This is a solid course for the average golfer. The course was in good condition and well maintained. We golfed the west 18 and are happy with our round of golf.

Terrible!!!

Booked on GolfNow and prepaid, my buddy came down with COVID the day before. They wouldn’t let me cancel on the app. Tried calling, kept getting their voicemail. Left a message requesting a refund and to cancel my tee time for the next day. No callback or refund! Just terrible! Are we expected to show up and infect everyone?

Will never book again as they couldn’t even call or pick up the phone to discuss my situation.

Need better communication

As seems to happen more often than not, when I check in with the pro shop and they find out I booked through golfnow, I get treated like a red-headed stepchild. Today the guy told me he couldn't guarantee my spot in the foursome I was paired with because, quote, "We don't know if they want to play with you."
Other times I get booked into a league and have to wait for the league to tee off. The discounted golf rates are great and the app golfnow is easy to use. Just wish there was better communication with the courses

Very slow play

Caught up to a 4 some of very old men each driving their own cart. One teeing every shot up and they would not let anyone play through on back nine of Blue North course. There where a total of 5 twosomes waiting. It took 4 hrs to finish round and we finished front nine in 1hr 10 minutes.

The course was windy that day, which added to the difficulty on some of the holes that were tightly lined with trees which made it slightly more challenging, but the visuals of the water hazards in the sand bunkers protecting the holes Still made Your approach shots seem a little harder mentally. Love the course can’t wait for the next round!
