By far the worst experience at any golf course I have been to. Honestly, it was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had with any type of business. As a group of four we had one of the first tee times of the day. From what I observed all the groups to follow us were only groups of two. As a group of four, obviously we would take more time to play and we understood that and that’s why we allowed several groups to pass us without any complain. That was no problem at all we were there to enjoy a round of golf as a family. What was complete unacceptable was the rude starter who stalked and hassled us the entire time we were there. Shortly after starting our round the starter approached us for the first time stating “I’m sorry to tell you this, but other golfers are calling the pro store complaining about your pace. I can’t really say anything though, because y’all are within the time of play.” We stated we understood we were a group of four that had never played this course before and with two fairly inexperience golfers that were had no problem letting people pass us if they would like. We let the group behind us pass at this point. Not two holes later the starter approaches us again with the same statement as before. Again, we let people pass, but this time we let several groups pass. As we continued, if we saw a group was close to us we would let them play through as we didn’t want to hold them up. About the eight or ninth hole, the starter approached us again, but this time he became completely unacceptability rude and disrespectful. We had been playing for about 2 ½ hours, which I get is outside the timeframe of pace for this course, but we had let at least 5 groups pass at this point which slowed our pace down as well. The started made a comment about our pace and demanded we wait at the clubhouse after our ninth hole to let two more groups pass. Obviously, we had no problem doing this, but the way in which he spoke to us was totally disrespectful. He told me that he personally saw me tee off three times. This was untrue. I did tee off twice, because my first ball went into the water. Any golfer would have teed off again in this situation and has the right to do so. He stated “well you just need to drop your ball on the fairway and go.” We explained we had two newest golfers and he stuck his face out in my face and said “ma’am that’s not my problem.” This is where I lost it and couldn’t take anymore. I literally was almost in tears over the way he was talking to me. At this point my experience at this golf course was ruined. We complied with their request to stop at the clubhouse after the ninth house and waited twenty minutes for the next two groups to play through. As we continued to play we notice the starter following us, obviously he had been the entire time to be able to make comments about how many strokes we were taking. Surprisingly enough, the starter did approach us one last time. This time to apologize for his behavior. I apricated that this man recognized that he was wrong for the way he spoke to us, but that doesn’t make up for or excuse his behavior. I also recognize that the people in the pro shop that day were behind this as well. Obviously, this golf course only wants experienced golfers that want to play a quick round of golf. We were there to play, rest, and enjoy our time while on vacation. This is far from what actually occurred. I can honestly say I will never return here or recommend this golf course to anyone.
