Poor Customer Service

I booked a Monday morning tee time (July 9, 2018) directly through the Pro Shop. That morning, I was only able to play 1 hole, before heavy rain forced us off the course.

1 hole.

When I went in to ask for a refund due to the rain, instead of refunding me for the full amount I paid (less than 30 minutes prior mind you), OR instead of pro-rating the $40 I paid and only charging me for the one hole I actually played, I was only given a refund for a $33 twilight rate. How is this appropriate? How is this acceptable customer service?

It's not.

There are too many other good courses in town to have to deal with this lack of guest appreciation. It will be a while before I come back.

So much potential...

This course has potential to be great. The back 9 is quite nice carved out among the trees. The trees however are quite challenging, as all too often your second shot is blocked out if you are anywhere other than the absolute middle of the fairway...even off the tee box, the trees blocked a few shots.

The greens are wicked fast, too fast to land a chip on even. Nice greens, just very fast. The fairways are not great, hard as a rock, and plenty of dirt spots.

The golf carts are also very old and tired. I had to change my cart halfway though my round, as I was worried my cart would not make it another hole.

Not bad for $16, but I don't think I would pay much more to play this again.

Not the greatest

Played here for the first time and was a bit disappointed. Granted I only paid $12 through a Hot Deal booking, but sadly that's about the current value for this course. The fairways don't really exist, the greens were pretty bad (several greens even had course in repair areas roped off), and on several holes, I was blocked out due to large trees. Not a bad course for >$15, but would have hated to paid more to play here under these conditions.
