5hr 25 min round- SLOW SLOW SLOW

I teed off at 9:20 hoping to avoid the Sunday rush but wow was I wrong. It took us 3 hr to play the front 9. The group in front was so slow we called the pro shop and the ranger finally came over and said they were 3 holes behind the group infront of them. I requested he tell them to pick up their balls and skip a hole and he refused to do that. We had 3 groups waiting on the final par 3. Course management clearly didn’t want to offend 1 group to benefit the entire day of tee times. They have now lost several consistent customers to let a group of people hitting 4 tee balls in the woods and 8 practice swings finish their round. My group and I can’t afford to spend 5+ hrs waiting on tee boxes. It’s ok for the ranger to be hard on slow guests. Keeps consistent customers coming back.

OVER 5 HR ROUND...HORRIBLE STAFF

I was extremely disappointed by the poor customer service. When I checked in the two pros at the shop were talking to each other while I stood there for 5 minutes and said can someone help me. Then I got a dirty look and checked in. The front 9 taking 2 hrs and 40 min! I went into the shop and told Nick Popovicci that I wanted a refund for our back 9 because I did not have the time or patients to for a round to take over 5 and a half hours! He said “well it is what it is and 2.5+ hrs for 9 holes is our course standard.” I asked him why they didn’t have a ranger moving people along, or why they might have over booked tee times and he gave me some rude answer. At one point we had 3 groups waiting on a tee box. I told him I was upset that he didn’t even offer a sorry or we apologize for the inconvenience. I told him I didn’t fly from NC to play your course to be treated like this and he said well I don’t know what to tell you. I will never return to your course again. This club needs to fire him before you lose more guests and need to have some training on customer service.

Quality was terrible, the driving range or lack thereof was nothing but a mud pit with zero grass. When I attempted to hit a few balls in front of the rope an employee asked me to hit behind the rope. The balls were all chewed up and dirty as well. Not to mention how could you have a golf course next to a race track!? The entire round I heard nothing but motorcycles racing. They also had people playing in jean shorts and cut off tank tops. Save your time and money.

Short and Fun!

What a great course. This is the shortest of the 3 courses Prestonwood offers but don’t let the lack of distance fool you. It can be very challenging and create a lot of interesting tee shots. Pace of play is great. Typically 3.5 hours on week days and 4 hr on weekends.

Rude Staff

Have played 4-5 times and every time there is some rude staff member giving me a hard time. The girl that works in the shop is the worst! Constantly has a poor attitude and acts like its a inconvenience that I am there. The reason I stay at the Embassy Suites is convenience to this course. Maybe I need to find a new hotel and course.

Pace can be slow but overall a fun course to play.

Short decent course

Tee boxes were a mess. Course plays very short. Greens were in fair condition. The sad part is they have a new beer policy. They will not sell you more then one beer at a time!?!!! That's just crazy and makes me want to play another course.

Not great but reasonable for the price

Staff was very friendly. Driving range is very cool because you hit ball into a pond! The course was not very hard, it was in poor conditions, yet it is January so I wasnt expecting anything great. Cart unfortinalty died on the 4th hole but the staff was great and brought out one right away. Would probably go back in the summer.
