Played On 07/03/2020No raincheck policy is disturbing
Right before my tee time, the sky opened up and golfers were pulled from the course due to the threat of lightning. The weather radar showed this would be the norm for the rest of the day due to cells passing through. Because of the long-term forecast, I asked for a rain check. I was rudely told by the young man behind the desk that rain checks are not allowed. I waited and talked to the more friendly club house manager. He confirmed that rain checks were not an option per the new management. Given the high-cost green fees for this course, I would warn all that if there is the least bit of chance of thunderstorms and the potential for your round to not be finished, do not book a tee time at this course. For me, the idea of not offering rain checks reeks of a course that values making money from every available tee time instead of valuing the golfers that find the time to make it to their course instead of choosing another. It makes one wonder if they do not want to honor a rain check in the future because they want money from as many tee times as possible. Ironically, this type attitude and practice will certainly keep me away from any future tee times.
