Overall good experience

Everything well with minor exception of the person checking in at the pro shop. Course didn’t look busy, I asked if there was any way I could play by my self (as it’s how I enjoy golf the most). He gave me a bit of attitude that I used a golf app to select my tee time, and those automatically pair you up. Keep in mind I didn’t ask rudely or demand to play alone, I only asked it if was a possibility. Nevertheless the person I played with was very nice (although a bit of a stickler for the rules). All that being said the course was much better than what I expected. Fairways were a bit hard in places but that can be expected due to the lack of rain for the last few months here in Texas

Exceptionally rude pro shop employee on a Sunday. Played here before and never had an issue but wasn't allowed to play because I didn't have military ID. Golf Now gave me a refund but the jerk at course tried to talk them out of it. Man shouldn't be in customer service.

Play before it’s too late!

Love this course, just challenging enough to be fun but at the same time very affordable. However, I was told that it may close soon as the current management does not want to continue. It’s a City course, hopefully if it does close it’s only for a short time. Also, hope the next team keeps the course maintenance to the level it has been (and pricing also!)

Hidden Gem

Very nice course with some challenging holes that require planning and strategy. Don’t let the location of the course fool you. It’s a great course and a real value based on the price of a round.

Decent rounds

I play here often. The only negative is that every once in a while you get groups of inexperienced players who aren’t well versed on course etiquette and won’t allow singles like me to play through. Not a big deal as I am able to go around, but keep that in mind when playing here

Slow play

You really can’t beat the price for this course, but you have to be willing to play behind some very slow inexperienced players. Seems a lot of the young service members from the base come out to blow off some steam.

Great value

First time playing at this course. Although the the course still needs some work especially the fairways, the course is a great value. Most of the greens with a couple of exceptions were in great shape. Apparently there was a recent ownership change, and the new owners have made huge improvements to the course. I cannot speak as to how it was before but I would definitely recommend playing there. Although on paper it would seem like an easy course there are so many trees that it is a challenging course.

Golf etiquette

I’ve played here many times. One thing that happens over and over again is slow groups not letting a single player play through. Every time and this time was the worst. I enjoy playing alone, the twosome in front of me asked if I would like to join, I politely decline. And the third hole (par 3) they took quite a while to finish the hole, after I tee’d off (landed off the green to the left) I noticed the twosome two groups ahead was about finished with the next hole (par5) while the two in front of me were still teeing off. I rushed to finish the hole so that I wouldn’t hold them up if they were waiting to let me through. I got to the tee box just as the second person finished teeing off. Instead of asking me if I would like to play through they got in their cart, I then asked if I could play through. Well... I was very rudely told NO, the person said that they asked me to join and since I said no, tough luck I would have to wait. I tried to explain that I like to play alone, I don’t want to rush them and the entire hole ahead (par5) is open. He just laughs at me and tells me to deal with it. Well I said some words that maybe I shouldn’t have (called him an a-hole). He got out of his cart and actually rushed at me as though to fight me!!! Wow! So instead of dealing with them I decided to skip the hole all the wile having them call me name and heckle me (I responded in kind which I shouldn’t have). I wanted to call the club house and complain about them, but evidently they are regulars there and I would likely be the one penalized for the altercation. Needless to say this was one of the worst golfing experiences in my life! This club should really teach their customers the basics of golf etiquettes.

Hello, thank you for reviewing the course. We would like to apologize for the delay of play during your round. Please know that this is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve and use your comments as guidance in doing so. Thank you for playing Alsatian Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.

Pricing change

I love the course. However, recent pricing changes will make it much more difficult and expensive to play there. It used to be that I could get a really good Deal to play the course though several different online platforms. If I couldn’t find a deal I could get the military/veteran rate which was already a bit higher than I’m comfortable with at $55. Now the cheapest I can get to play at times when I am able to (COVID and all things considered) is $60+ tax. Not sure how much longer my wife will allow me to spend that much on golf lol. (Fingers crossed)

Horrible customer service

Let me start by saying that the course is great! You can tell the groundskeepers take pride in their job. However, the service at the pro shop is another story. The person at the shop Fred or Frank, or whatever the F### his name is, does not realize he is in the service industry. It seems he believes he is checking people in for a high stakes PGA tournament instead of a leading round to blow off some stress. After asking if there was any chance I could play alone, he said “there is no way, it’s very busy” he instructed me to play with a twosome that was walking and about to tee off. Said there is a 4some ahead of them. He said even if it wasn’t busy, I can’t go out by my self “because it is against golfing rules”. I was confused and I told him that every course in the area, and really most courses I have ever been to have no issues letting single golfers out as singles. According to him, no course should ever let singles out. Whatever! Well, I go to the tee box and tell the twosome that I was instructed to play with them. They looked upset at this, so I say that I personally prefer to play by my self, they respond that they prefer to play by them selves also. They say there doesn’t appear to be anyone in front of the 4some and if I go around them it could be wide open. I was hesitant as the guy in the clubhouse could have an issue with that and I don’t want to be kicked off the course, they say not to worry and if there are issues they will say they told me to do it. Well, this is what was in front of the 4some (which according to the clubhouse person means very busy): a single rider, a 3some, a single walking, and a 2some. I got around all of those players fairly quickly and what could have been a 4+hour round turned into a 2+ hour round. Well, my conclusion about all of this is that the person at the clubhouse needs to be retrained in customer service. Btw this is not the first time I have had issues with him. It’s sucks that I like the course and it it the closest municipal course to where I live, otherwise I would not go back just because of him.

I sure hope this is no longer the case. I’m extremely new to golf but love the sport and specifically just bought a membership at this course in hopes of being able to play singles as not to slow anyone down with my play, really loving the sport and I’d hate to run into roadblocks like this.

Never disappoints

Great course and great value. The staff is by far the most friendly and accommodating you can find. Course has 27 holes, so it can be played often without feeling repetitive. It really is a great course, highly recommended.

Value course

You can get a really cheap rate to play this course, and it is not a difficult course. It has some interesting elevation changes, but it’s overall not very challenging. My only gripe is with the gentleman in the pro shop (the older one). He is always very impersonal almost to the point of being rude.

Fun course

The course is a lot of fun, it’s short but still requires some thinking when selecting clubs. My main issue was that play was very slow. Second is that it is a very tight course. Several holes right on top of each other, it is distracting, and a little worrisome.

Nice course

The course is great. When I have time and find a good deal I target this course. My only gripe this time around is that they would not let me play by my self. I know it’s selfish. It that is really how I enjoy the game the most. The reason was that it was busy, however they let us go as a double and we only passed one other slow double, and one slow single. We were playing fast and I am sure it wasn’t as busy as they made it out to be. Still appreciate they didn’t make us wait for 2 more to send us out as a foursome.

Layout

First time here, and I had a great time. The course layout is very friendly for players like me who tend to slice their drives. Seems like most holes dogleg right. The course is very friendly to a mature play with wide fairways and large greens.

Seen better days

I don’t know what’s going on at the course, but it must be something. The fairways are in great shape, but not the greens. There were a few greens that were in bad shape. Don’t really know why that is as there has been a lot of rain in the area lately. Hopefully they fix that, this is usually one of the best courses in the are.
