Bait and switch?

Late Saturday, I booked an early Sunday tee time. When I got to the course, the pro shop staff asked: “ Did GokfNow let you know the front nine is closed and you’ll play the back nine twice?”
No. No one told me that.
(The front nine is closed due to flooding from Hurricane Hilary ONE MONTH prior.)
There is no reason that (course closure) is not noted prior to reserving the tee time.

They didn’t tell us the front side was closed due to storm damage , back was nice but playing it twice was not what I expected.

Front nine closed

Enjoy playing at Shadow Hills South but it would have been nice to know the front nine was closed and I would be playing back nine twice.

Poor customer service

They don’t tell you until you arrive that the front 9 is closed so you have to play back twice. Lawn crew never stopped and were in fairways whilst trying to play and club house rep completely ignored my feedback on this.

Shadow Hills Sun City CA

The course has been affected by the recent historic storm that passed through the area two weeks before I played so it’s a little unfair to be critical. Front 9 homes weren’t available so you had to play back 9 twice. For the most part the fairways and greens were really good. A few areas where flood water damage was experienced.

I will go back and check it out when the repairs have been completed

Terrible

This course was awful. The course looked like they have ran out of money and I know it is foreign owned. Nothing in the pro shop,total of 3 dozen balls. Really dirty. Will not go back.

Great course and awesome value

This course and staff are VERY NICE and it's a great value on GolfNow.com. I teed off at 10:45 AM as a single and never had to wait. Greens were almost healed from sanding so a little slow. Most greens have breaks from gentle to significant so reading/playing the breaks was fairly demanding. Fairways are better than most and only had a few thin and/or brown spots. Tee boxes were fine. This was my first time playing here. I really enjoyed the layout and course views. I will be back!
