As soon as we arrived to the course, the ranger, John was harassing us off the start. We just placed our bags in the carts and he pulled up to us questioning us multiple times if we had alcohol in our cooler bags (it was 90 degrees out). After telling him no on multiple occasions he said if “I catch you with any, you’ll never play a f’n county course again”. Nice little welcome to Soldier Hill.

Secondly, The other cart in my group drove in the parking lot to put his partners clubs on the cart. John in his cart was following and yelling that He can’t bring the cart in the lot. “Rules are rules” saying we should know the handbook (okay?).

As we were heading towards the 1st tee box, a group that finished 18 came up to us and warned us about that ranger saying he was harassing them their entire round.

At the tee box, even the starter warned us about John saying John used to be a Gold glove boxer. We took it as an indication that he’s gotta few screws loose. He Told us to be careful because John will kick anyone off. A few moments later, John pulled up to the starter and was telling him how he saw a group on the back 9 with red solo cups. John said he was gonna “get them” and kick them off the course (that’s the clean version).

A few other 4somes throughout our round also pointed out this belligerent ranger. We further witnessed a 2some drive on the fairway (it was cart path only). John drove out in his cart cursing asking if they think this is a joke. John took the cart keys out of the 2somes cart and drove off yelling for them to walk. (Not a great way to handle a situation. Maybe a simple reminder about the cart path or politely ask to drive the cart back to the path). Just left the cart in the middle of the fairway. Little obstruction for the group behind.

Besides this ranger, I just want to point out that the county did a great job cleaning up and making the course look nice since they bought it a few years back.

But if you want to enjoy a round of golf with your friends, and not feel stressed out by rangers, I would not recommend playing here.

My group will probably wait until next year to give the course another shot, in hopes that ranger will not be there.
