No need for tee times

Called ahead for a tee time and was given one. Unfortunately, start of round was delayed 30 minutes due to staff accepting walk-in golfers (those without tee time). When tee time came there was 3 foursomes waiting to tee off. No starter, no ranger and no amenities on the course.
Course was in good shape for this time of year. Difficult to keep ball in play with all the mountain slopes and narrow fairways. Bring a supply of balls. Par threes' are difficult as they are tee to green only. Greens are surrounded by gorges, wetlands, sand traps and woods. Course is not very forgiving nor for the beginner golfer.

Hello Fellow Golfer,
Our apologies that your experience at our club did not meet up to your standards. I would like to explain the situation that you encountered. All fell back to mother nature. Upon sunrise the temperature at the course was 19 degrees and the course was covered in a heavy frost. Our first tee time that was scheduled had actually suffered a 60 minute delay until they were able to tee off. On an extremely busy day getting the time cut by 50% is considered to be successful. As for amenities on the course I refer back to the temperature and time of the year. Ball washers, water coolers, etc., can not be placed out onto the course due to exposure to the elements of mother nature. I due hope you come to Sand Springs again and see what our course can offer when we are in the full swing of the season.
