I was here golfing with my 10 year old son. There was a foursome who were loud and intoxicated and we could hear them from several holes away. Before we played 6 on Canyon, they sped past us and went down the cart path. I assumed that they were going in and we’re not going to play their round. My son and I played the long par 5. From the second shot on we could hear them on the tee box to number 7 hitting multiple drives and being extremely loud. When I got up to 7 I said to the group, it is ok to have fun on the course, but you cannot, as a foursome, hop in front of us and expect it to be ok, especially after being on that tee box for at least 15 min. The father in the group became belligerent, was very intoxicated, and started talking about how he was a big deal here and threatened me with physical violence as he screamed at me and my son. He would not leave it alone and the only reason the altercation ended without him hitting me was because one of the boys held him around the waist and drove off. I alerted the staff by phone of what happened. They came out and assured me that they would make sure the person was not permitted to stay on the property. I thought that was the proper course of action given that he had threatened violence and made my 10 year old kid cry because the scene he caused was so ugly. When we got done with the round, I asked if they had found the person and talked to him. I was informed that he was a big deal there, that he was in the restaurant drinking away and keeping his good time going. I was shocked. Could not believe that the course management would stand for this kind of behavior and that apparently he can do anything he wants there. The employee stated there was nothing he could do because this person “had power there” and was a bigwig. I asked the employee, I was dealing with to let him know that I do not care how much pull he has, I thought it was really crappy that he made my 10 year old kid cry on a golf course.

I have played here many times, never had any type of negative interactions with any golfers or staff. I was extremely disappointed that this happened and that the golf staff would permit this kind of behavior.
