Dowah is one of our favourite courses to hit up, countless rounds of pure golf. Unfortunately, try not to play there when there are no adults on the course running the shop or checking pace. Two kids running the shop, no one checking pace of play, or the two six-somes playing behind us, hitting up on us while still on the greens, claiming “we play golf, we know it’s not going to hit you”. It was a par 3. Arguing ensues and whole round (which was already ruined due to us paying for carts, then being told they would drive them out to us when they came in. On hole 4 I trotted back to find them giving the carts to the groups playing behind us. They then kicked a group off of one cart that was about to tee off and drove carts out to us) was ruined.
Our cart was hit 3 times total in one round, couple were accidents from the kids, but all were hit without us knowing it was coming. No fours, just balls smacking our carts.
Asked to speak to a manager, kids said sorry there is no one and to call tomorrow. They didn’t know what to say or how to handle it, which is fair, they’re just kids. But place needs to be staffed with adults that can keep the establishment running smooth. One of the best courses in Ontario. I stand by that. Just a terrible horrible day and experience. Especially for two first comers.
