The Club at Twin Lakes
Played On 08/20/2017Terrible Experience - Not family friendly
On a Sunday evening as a family we decided to take our two year old with us for 9 holes. There was no one at the course...it was absolutely empty on the front nine except for one walker. Before we even entered the Pro Shop a gentlemen working comes out of the door and states "sorry to say you cant play with riders" and I responded what do you mean I will pay for them to ride. He said "these are the owners rules and you cant play". After much back and forth I decided to leave extremely disappointed. I am appalled by this attitude as a 32 year old young professional who understands that golf courses are closing all over the country and we are trying to grow this game. I was trying to expose my family to this great game and am a scratch golfer that understands certain rules and would never bring my family out during a busy time of day and would play nine holes in an hour and a half. The fact that this golf course wouldn't allow us as a family to enjoy the game of golf is disgusting. I cannot comprehend what this issue would have been with us riding 9 holes while nobody was on the course.
I will never play here again and hope to spread the word of how this establishment is operating. We will see how long they stay in business if they don't allow us to expose the next generation to their course or the game. Allentown municipal allows you to play and pay a small fee for insurance purposes for riders, which I will gladly pay and believe we should pay. Cheers to those who are focused on the next generation, the play 9 initiative, and everything the USGA and PGA are doing to grow the game and get families involved. Boo to the gentlemen running this place. Let's all make sure we put our best foot forward to bring the game back and not see another course close!
