Dolphin Head Golf Course
Played On 01/01/2020Overly Aggressive Rangers
We started our day as a twosome and were paired with another twosome. That is fine as I never mind playing with new people. The starter stared at my son and said, “ I hope I don’t have to remind you about pace of play.” I stared back and told him this was not our first round of golf and pace of play will not be an issue. We tee off the first hole as a foursome and they send out a bunch of twosomes behind us. We kept up our pace of play and never played slow (finished the first nine right at two hours). We were approached by the ranger stating people behind us are complaining and “he can’t have this at his course.” I explained to him that the twosomes behind us will naturally play faster than a foursome and we should not be expected to keep the pace of a twosome. I also made sure he knew we finished in 2 hours which is not slow play. He kept on and on that we were playing slow and was completely rude and condescending, and couldn’t be more wrong at the same time.
At this point the round of golf is ruined for me and my son but we decided to split with the other two and finish the round as a twosome. We finished the round under 4 hours.
The course was really nice, the staff in the pro shop, bar area, and bag drop were phenomenal and hospitable. However, if you want your round ruined by overly rude and aggressive rangers, this course is where you need to play. In speaking with a few people at the course this is a regular occurrence with these rangers.
