Skylinks Golf Course
Played On 07/08/2014Skylinks needs to sort out the slow play
This is a decent track, quite challenging on some holes with lots of bunkers protecting the greens and a lot of tree-lined fairways waiting to punish the errant driver.
However they need to seriously tighten up the management of play. I teed off with my wife at 10.20am on what I thought was a quietish tuesday (no one behind me for the first 5 holes) but did not get off the course until 3.40pm!! As soon as we hit the 6th hole pace of play ground to a halt with an extremely slow 3 ball in front of us and an even slower 4 ball in front of them. 5 HOURS 20 MINS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE - WHY DON"T THEY HAVE A MARSHAL OUT MONITORING PACE OF PLAY? Come on, it's not that difficult to do. This nonsense is what is killing the game of golf in the USA. Waiting 15 - 20 mins at some of the holes on the back nine destroyed what started off as an enjoyable round. By the time we made it to the 13th hole there were another 3 four balls right behind us all waiting waiting waiting...enough to drive anyone nuts. Come on skylinks, sort out the pace of play and I'll recommend your course to others. Until then, I would avoid.
TPC Harding Park - Fleming Course
Played On 06/22/2014Harding/Fleming did not want to honor Golfnow rate
Fleming is a good 9 hole course kept in decent condition. Great for a casual couple of hours golf. However, my experience was somewhat tempered by a member of staff in Harding's pro shop when I arrived to pay for the round. Basically, they did not want to honor the golfnow Fleming cart rate of $32 I booked 3 days prior to the round. I had to pull up my email confirmation and haggle with the guy until he agreed to accept the rate I had booked. This annoyed me quite a bit. His response was that they no longer take reservations for Fleming and have had trouble with golfnow.com in the past and do not want to honor any rates for fleming that appear on the website. Be aware of this! I argued it was not my problem and he eventually gave me the discounted rate but he was quite rude in doing so. Not the welcoming experience I was hoping for. They should sort out their problems with golfnow rather than try and stiff the customer when he pays for a legit discount online.
