Today was the first time in a while I had played Willow Springs....the first since the clubhouse burned down. I don't know if I will go back again. To begin with, the lady running the cash register was easily overwhelmed, and it caused me to miss my tee time. I also was charged extra for riding in a cart by myself, even though 1 guy in my foursome walked and the other 2 were father and son and rode together. The starter was not helping with the stress level of the cashier by radioing in that she had 9 singles waiting to go out, even though no one went out behind us for at least 30 minutes. On the back nine, the starter (Kim) became the ranger. She yelled at me for driving in the area between 16 and 17...which I kind of understand with 16 being a par 3....but I also was careful to stay away from 16 and toward 17 while looking for my tee shot off 16. (I'll also note the group in front us was routinely driving up to the green on most holes.) Then, on 18, I was helping the other guys look for their balls and then drove to my ball, which was about 100 yards out. Here comes the ranger yelling at me again to get my cart back to the path. I'm 100 yard out on a par 4....my cart on the fairway should not be an issue! This isn't the best-maintained course to begin with....and you know that going into your round. But I felt it was ridiculous for the ranger to be harassing me, especially on #18.
