UNSAFE FOR WOMEN

NOT SAFE FOR WOMEN!!!! Would have given 0 if allowed. Attended this course today for a quick 9 hole game with my husband. I usually caddy and drive the cart for him. Everything was going smoothly, until the 7th. I should have read the previous reviews on here about staff having issues with females. Husband noted one of the course staff had been following us and staring our way while smoking a cigarette, wearing a black beanie and sunglasses.

We drove across to our next tee off, and this staff member followed us. We were unsure if they wanted to talk or explain something to us, but they never approached even when we made eye contact so we continued our round.

As my husband went off to tee the 7th, this staff member approached me and began to yell aggressively. He had waited until my husband and I were separated to do this. He shouted that we had missed a sign that said to turn right, multiple times while approaching my cart. I was scared as this man was very aggressive and clearly had tried to catch me alone. I apologised for the error and drove quickly back to my husband. He followed until he saw my husband approach and backed off.

Other reviews on here seem to say the same things about an aggressive male staff member making women uncomfortable and even downright scared. We made a complaint to the assistant manager as it was Sunday and they said they couldn't do anything because this person's boss was not here!!! We should have called the police.

As we were leaving, we saw this staff member drive past in his caddy with a hose on the back and stare down our vehicle in the car park as we left.

We live near this course and never thought we'd have to experience something like this. We have asked a senior managed to call us, but by the looks of previous reviews nothing will be done about it. Ladies - Give this course a HUGE miss, dangerous behaviour that is tolerated apparently by management. I will never return.

I book on Golfnow and an entry error was made should have been a 2 some at 1:40 on Saturday the 6th. When I received my confirmation it was for Friday the 5th. Could not change with the automated system with Golfnow. Called the course and they had zero interest in trying to help me. The time on Sat was still open and they could have easily helped me. Unfortunately no help form Golfnow nor the course so will have to dispute with my cred card and my son and I will have to find a more accommodating place to play.

Covid19 Cup Design

We’ve played other courses that have a better cup design. We prefer the ball to drop into the hole about 3-4 inches into a plastic disc so you know that you’ve made your putt. Don’t like the ball hitting the upside down cup system.

Getting better and better

The course is in very good shape this year, I’m glad management addressed the up-side down cup system versus the stirofom inset they are currently using (helpful hint, they should cut the stirofom down a couple of inches more so the ball doesn’t bounce out at times which happened in a Men’s Club event a couple of weeks ago)

Scenic

First time playing the course and it was great. Challenging but not overwhelming for people who shoot in the 80’s and low 90’s (which I do). Walkable course also. Shout out to a local who played in our group for the course advice.

SLOW, CROWDED, BASIC NECESSITIES, ASKS FOR CHARITY DONATIONS

I've played this course several times. It is by far the slowest course I have ever played. The earliest it's taken to finish a round 5 1/2 hours. On several occasions we simply quit after spending 3 1/2 hours to complete 9 holes. I've discovered that this is typical with all of the courses managed by American Golf. The reason is that they space their tee times 8 minutes apart as compared to the normal 10 minute break. Although this means greater profits for American Golf, it creates chaos by putting way too many groups on the course. On top of this, they have someone collecting for charity on one of the holes that delays play even further. Who wants to deal with one more group asking for money, especially when you're trying to relax and enjoy yourself. Also, is it too expensive to place a couple of ball-washers on the course?? It's basically a nice course run by a corporation whose sole goal is to maximize profits at the expense of their customers. Spend a little money, lengthen the period between tee times and quit asking for a hand out at the tee box!!!
