Have quite a long review but this needs to be shared for anyone thinking about coming to this course.

Myself and a co-worker went to play a round after work. Went in my work clothes to pay and was going to change at my car. Ronnie the staff member says in a scoffing manner “you’re not going to wear that are you?” To which I reply “no I have to change.” He seemed a little rude but I didn’t think much of it and continued out to wait for my co worker to show up.

We tee off on the 10th. We like the back 9 and it was never mentioned to us not to play the back 9. Ronnie comes out and sits in a cart at the club house to watch us hit off the tee. (They were bad shots I’ll admit). He then rides down and tells us we jumped in front of the guys on 9. Which we had no idea were behind us because it’s a blind hole. They were not in sight when we headed to the 10th. We looked back after Ronnie pointed them out, and they were hitting their approach shots and walking to putt as we hit our second balls off the tee.(first drive of the day was a bad one). He comes back down AGAIN and tells us again as we’re heading to our cart to hurry or let them play through. To which I replied if they get close we will. One thing no golfer wants is a staff member rushing then through the course, especially when it’s unwarrented.
We ride down to our balls halfway down the 10th. I hit my approach shot 10ft from the green. Go to my cart and he chases me down to tell me to hurry or let them play through. At this point I’m aggravated, He JUST told us this, so I tell him “I’m playing golf and moving forward.”

The previous group mentioned just pulled up to the tee box at this time, as we are getting to the green. I park near the green up and he comes AGAIN, chastising me to let them play through. Again they are just hitting off the tee which on any course I’ve ever played is normal. We had 2 guys they had 5!!!! I tell him this and he threatens to kick me off of the course. We move to the next tee box, wait for the guys behind us and tell them that they are more than welcome to play through, they tell us we’re fine and to continue. We remind them that if they ever have to wait on us to let us know and they can play through.

We then play a few holes and look behind us from the tee box on 16 and he’s standing on the 17th green above watching us. We then make it to the 17 we park the cart on the cart path which we were very careful the entire round because he told us prior to going out that it’s cart path only. He comes over AGAIN!!! and hollers at us to stay on the cart path and we are literally on the cart path the entire time! We tell him we’ve not gone off of it all day. Then proceeds to speed off right near a green and tells us he’s going to call his supervisor on us may I mention he rides away all over the grass NOT ON THE CART PATH.

We finish up, get to our cars he then approaches us AGAIN!!!! asks for my name which I chose to not disclose and he says “that’s fine because I took a picture of your plates.” And speeds off again.
We were being treated like criminals the entire 9 holes and I was getting sick of it!

What an absolute circus they have going on out there when Ronnie is working. The man needs a babysitter or he will drive business away. I actually enjoy this course and wish to play again, but as long as Ronnie is working I will make sure myself, and everyone I know steers clear of that guy. He is a disease to this business and to anyone that wants to play golf here.
Also.......we spoke to the gentlemen after the round that he claims we cut in front of. And they say that Ronnie comes up to them when they were on the 9th and asked them if we asked to get in front of them. They say no and he says “want me to go yell at them?” and one of them said “no it’s OK they’re fine.” But yet Ronnie proceeded to come “yell” at us.

For the record.....We played atleast 1-2 holes In front of the the entire time.
