St. Andrews Golf & Country Club - St. Andrews Course
Played On 09/21/2020Had a decent time except...
Course #2 is in good shape even with aerated greens. Staff was friendly and accommodating at check-in. I had an 11:10 tee time and was paired with a club employee playing on their day off, who couldn't have been nicer. We both rode in separate carts, and teed off behind 2 kids walking. Both kids were playing and walking slow throughout the round. Despite this my partner and I waited patiently on every shot. Common sense says to let the faster group behind you play ahead, but we stayed patient regardless. On hole 16 we were on the fairway, one of the kids hits an iron shot from the 16th green back towards us on the fairway and yells fore. (ball landed maybe 10 or so yards in front of us).I don't get rattled by golf balls landing close by, but just the malicious act itself was ridiculous. I drove up to the tee box and tossed them back their ball and when my playing partner (who's a St. A's employee) confronted them (basically asking them why did you that, you know you don't do stuff like that on a golf course), they started trash talking and cursing him out. They said we hit our drives on 16 into them. We never hit into them, not even once. We went out of our way to avoid hitting into them. I complained to the pro shop after, and kudos to the manager for at least taking note of it. When I asked the starter who the people were, they couldn't even identify the two people on the tee sheet. They had a threesome with carts recorded at the 11:00am tee time. This leads me to believe the two kids in front of us were either employees playing for free, or they snuck out btw the 11:00 and 11:10 starting time. Definitely wish the club would govern pace and starting times better. Probably won't come back. Staff and course were good, just wish they'd tighten up the pace and spacing btw groups a little better (maybe send a ranger or two out on each 9..just saying).
Hello, thank you for reviewing the course. We 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. Thank you for playing St. Andrews Golf & Country Club - Saint Andrews Course. We hope to see you again soon.
