Stop treating Golf Now customer's like you don't want them

So I check in. Starter teams me up with a nice person. Starter says we need wait to tee off until the other twosome partner shows up. We don't know each other or the other twosome. There is no one on tee box. There is no one insight. But the Starter says we need to wait for the other twosome partner to show up. I ask why. Starter says it's a Golfnow rule. So let's wait despite no one on the tee box, no one in sight, so we can delay the next tee????? This is not the first time this starter has imparted idiot rules for Golfnow customers. Get this... We catch up to the next group after 4 holes. They let a 5 some out there... Rules?? Stop treating Golfnow customers like crap. What a way to make sure your customers feel welcome and start off in a good mood.

Beautiful day, beautiful golf course.

Picture perfect day for golf which is a blessing in October for Illinois.

Lucked out on tee time that allowed me to play at my own pace. Seemed to get very crowded shortly after but who could blame anyone on a day like this. ..

Course was in very good condition.
What I love about this course is that you are in the middle of a natural setting. No houses, cars, noise, nothing... one of the prettiest course you'll find.

About as backed up as I have ever seen it.

Love the course but when you are backed up 3 to tee???? Just takes all the fun out of playing golf. What's the point of setting up a tee time?

Nice course but slow...

Course is nice. Wide open. Used to be a links style course but they removed most of the tall grass. Now it's wide open. Not easy but not nearly as difficult as it could be. Sand traps are just terrible. Sorry guys but that needs to change... pace of play was very slow. Overall nice course but could be really nice with a few upgrades.

Very Hilly....

First time playing the course. I personally did not like it. Overly hilly to the point where some holes are just silly. But having said that some were fun. Just too many like courses that have too many dog legs. But that is just my personal opinion because the folks I played with seemed to really like it.

Pace of play was way too slow. Too many singles sent out caused a lot of backup.

For me, just not a course. I like.

Nice course.

Drying up nicely after all the rain we've had. This is one of the prettiest courses.

Today pace of play was pretty bad. This is going to happen once in a while when you get novice. But where is the Marshall to get them to move along? We had 3 party backups at one point...

Lastly and I'll say this again. Put up at a one 150 yard marker. The ones in the ground are too hard to find.

All that said, I really do love this course.

Nice!

First time I played the course . Played back 9. Very nicely kept. Amazing condition given all the rain. Nice greens. They do make you wait a bit to tee off but pace was great after that. Hidden gem.

Nice course, but why the huge jump in green fees?

First time playing Villa Olivia. 9 holes. Front 9. I always loved the front 9 because it provides an excellent variation. However, $19 walking? Huge increase over last year. Course was in nice shape. My only complaint would be the greens. Way too shagy. Always been this way. They need to be rolled or something. But overall I love the front 9.

Nice course. Natural setting.

Boone Creek is a nice course set in a natural environment. I have seen some of the comments regarding lack of signs and markers. But I personally don't mind it though it can get confusing. What it lacks in markers it makes up with setting. Nice peaceful setting. Greens are very good.

Nice course but slow.

Pretty much what I said in the title. Nice course but slow... Rough was a bit heavy which made it almost impossible to find your ball even a few feet in. That said, nice course .
