Was playing late Sat afternoon (4:56pm on receipt) as a single. Played 4 holes on front 9 then moved to back to find open holes as hit a logjam, but made sure i wasn't cutting in front of anyone. Was playing first back 9 hole and had dropped a second ball when someone driving by stops to yell that there's "no practicing on the course--the practice facility is by the clubhouse". I go ahead and hit the second ball which must have offended Barney Fife who evidently called the pro shop. They must have nothing better to do at roughly 6pm so they sent ranger rick out to tell me that it was against course policy to play 9 holes between front & back 9's (he must have known there should not have been any singles on the back 9 at that time--good sleuthing). Rick would not budge an inch and said it was course "policy" that prevented me from playing another hole on back 9. Only option was to quit or walk back to front 9. I quit and will never be back. Side note--website and receipt note "9 hole" rate...not front or back 9. 2nd side note--checked HSR policy on website and no explicit mention of playing front or back 9 only. I realize it's implied that you'll play 9 consecutive holes on either 9, but no where does it state you can't mix. Note to staff--this is an average muny course...you're not working at Bethpage or some private club so please lose the attitude. Note to others--you've been warned.
