Empire Springs Golf Club
Played On 05/09/2015Terrible Ownership;
Arrived at the course at 6:45am for my 7:30am tee time as a single; By the time I get my clubs on my cart, put my shoes on, and walk up to the club house it is 7:00am; I am the only person there: There are no cars in the parking lot, the only face I have seen is the woman standing at the register; I say "I am here for my 7:30 tee time, but there is no one else here, so I am just going to tee off now if thats ok". She responds "No, you have to tee off at 7:30 because we have regulars". I respond "Your telling me you want me to wait around until 7:30, even though there is no one else here". She responds, "Well if you were my customer I would let you tee off now, but you are not, you are Golfnow's customer". At this point I am in complete shock of her ignorance. She doesn't realize that even though I paid Golfnow, I am still her customer. I am playing her course, and my interaction is with her. Why would I play this course again or recommend it to someone else if this is their attitude?
So I wait around to 7:30am; No one else shows up; I tee off and shoot the lowest score of my life; Given it is a very easy course; Bunkers are full of weeds; Fairways are full of weeds and dead grass; Greens were perfect, if not a little brown; Finish in 2 hours and 30 minutes
My point is this: my interaction with the person I assume to be the owner of the course was so terrible that it superseded what turned out to be a pretty good day of golf. I can't recommend this course to anyone else.
