Awful Starter

The starter ruined our round. We showed up exactly at our tee time (1:50). The starter told us we had to play best ball and that “2 of us should’ve already teed off” by 1:50. We told him that if that was the case, our tee time should’ve been 1:48. Unnecessary for a starter to be such a diva and ruin our vibes. Must just be a miserable guy. Go ruin someone else’s day, loser.

It's unfortunate that's how he dealt with it, but you should show up earlier than that. That's part of the etiquette of golf.

Worst golf staff possible

Played the course relatively fast and was on the Tee for the 9th hole and the starter came up to us at 8 pm and said we had to stop. Sun was still blatantly out with the last hole going directly to the pro shop. For people walking the golf course this was very annoying especially when the ranger just says “ no you’re good” when asked if we can just finished the hole. Proceeded to drive slowly next to us and stare at us while we walk back to our vehicles.

The staff was just rude and I will never golf here again

Booked Wrong Course

Thought I was booking at CPD’s Marovitz course but when I arrived to play they did not have my reservation. Turned out I had accidentally booked at Robert A. Black course. My mistake but website was not clear and I had to pay at both courses and only played one.
