Rio Vista Golf Course
Played On 07/11/2016Got screwed at below average course
Booked 18 holes for myself and my father in-law through the GolfNow website for Saturday July 11, 2015. When we got to the course, the guy behind the counter said "Sorry, there's a tournament today, you can't golf 18 holes... You can only golf 9 holes."
He was very unapologetic about it. Acted like it was the website's fault and didn't seem to care that we drove all the way from Grimsby to try out this course. What choice did we have? All the other courses in the area were booked solid, this was pretty much the only tee time I could get. So we decided to golf the 9 holes.
Here's the fun part... Instead of charging us half price at our GolfNow rate of $32 per person, he charged us FULL PRICE for 9 holes. So not only did we get hosed out of playing 18 holes (which we booked), we payed almost as much money for playing only 9 holes.
Oh and here's the REALLY fun part... After we finished our 9 holes, THE TOURNAMENT HADN'T EVEN STARTED YET! We could have easily golfed 18 holes without disturbing the tournament whatsoever.
Oh and the course is not great. Brown dead grass, poor greens, divots and chunks everywhere. Course layout was decent and it's an easy course, so if the conditions were better, beginner golfers might actually like it.
But do yourself a favor and golf somewhere else. Anywhere else.
