This review is regarding my boyfriends nieces birthday party that was held here. The room was dimly lit and there wasn't anything we could do about it. Luckily the decor was enough to lighten up the ambiance because without it, the club room feels like a simple, drab, and plain room.
But two stars were knocked off because of the service. The food was excellent I have to admit but it was what they did with the delicious food that angered a lot of us. The family was busy greeting all of the guests individually so it was difficult for them to finish their food. However, by the time they were able to sit down to finish their plate of food, it had already been taken away! Not just their untouched plates but the plates other guests wanted to use to go back for seconds. The buffet style table of delicious food had disappeared right before our eyes!
We shrugged it off because there were other things to attend to. But when a few of the straggling guests arrived, a couple of us and myself had gone back to the kitchen to ask for some food to give to our late guests. All of the kitchen attendants said that they had thrown everything away. *eyebrows raise* oh really? you threw away half of a roast that was the size of a baby? *scoff*After the event was over and we were clearing out, I saw a couple of the kitchen staff eating exactly what we had eaten.
tsk tsk.
The parents did not pay to have their food taken away from themselves and their guests. -

I attended a wedding here and did not use the range... with that being said, here's my take...
The first impression was... "where is this place?" mainly because it's kinda hidden. You'll have to enter through a Walmart or Kohl's entrance to get in, then go through the back where the entrance is... then it's a whole different look. The fact that it's located in the back of one of those chains is a little weird, once you get in though, the course itself is nice.
My first impression of the place after I got out of the car was that its a very nice golf course and clubhouse. The staff was extremely nice and attentive. 5 stars for the staff alone.
The course was also nice, grass was cut... nice and green. I was only at the ceremony gazebo, and that was my impression. Overall good experience at this golf course for a wedding. -

Played here with a group of friends on a Friday twilight rate. The course is in decent shape, and it looks like they are working on some areas to make it better. There were a number of spots with new-ish sod. One tee box is particular was totally stripped, so the short par 3 was even shorter as we hit from the front tee box. The sand traps looked like they were being reworked as well, with bright white sand in one trap next to another with a dingy beige sand. The biggest issue is that no one seems to bother to repair ball marks on the green. On a number of the greens, there were ball marks all over the place.
The overall layout is challenging. Not exactly target golf, but you are punished for missing the fairway. On a few holes, you can miss by a lot and be on an adjoining fairway, others you are just out of bounds. Being in the rough frequently means that you are on a side hill, hitting out of what can be thick rough (at least thick for a public course in So. Cal.). But, with the hills on the side, some shots can get a great bounce off the side hills and carom back in the fairway, or at least the edges of the rough.
My biggest complaint is that they were restricting the carts to the cart path for much of the course. So there were a number of instance where I was either caring 3-4 clubs to my ball, or walking to the ball, figuring out the lie and distance, then back to the cart to get what I wanted, then back tot he ball. It makes for slow golf and a lot of walking. It isn't like the fairways are in pristine shape with delicate grass. They look hardy and able to withstand the traffic.
Overall, it was worth the money, even though I played really, really poorly. It looks like they are working on the course, so if that is the case, and they ease up on the cart restrictions, and the players start to actually fix the ball marks on the greens, then this will be a real gem of a public course.Listed in: Golf

I have played at this course a few times. Its a pretty challenging course and is pretty well maintained. The issue is that my buddies and I booked a foursome and it took us almost three and half hours to play the front nine because they booked a last minute tournament to fill some slots. We went back and told the guy at the pro shop but he acted like he didn't care. We told him were going to check out the back nine but if it's backed up like the front we are either going to jump holes or come back for a refund, he said okay. Well, when we ended up jumping over a few groups that guys came out and chased us down. He got mad because we jumped over a couple of groups in a tournament. We reminded him that he said it was okay but he was still upset at us. F this place cause all they want is money, money, money and do not care about our overall golf experience!

Has plenty of nice views and rolling fairways and you will have plenty of time staring at them because you will be waiting. Played here a few times, always the same story.
1. Over-crowded, stack tee times 8 minutes apart.
2. Way over priced snack shop.
3. No snack cart.
4. No driving carts on fairways, makes for long waits.
If you get there before 730, then you can enjoy yourself, except for the ridiculously priced snack shop and missing golf cart personel. -

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Played for the first time last weekend.
$60 to ride, which is cheaper than most Long Beach courses. This course emphasizes punctuality as we started right on time and encourages each round be played within 4.5 hours.
Course is challenging to say the least - plenty of narrow fairways, hazards, and fast greens. Hook it left and its OB, slice it right and it's on another hole's fairway. Most of the green are two tiered and have steep slopes.
I would not recommend this course to kids, players who cannot control their driver, women who enjoy walking at their own pace, or people with bad etiquette (actually if you don't know golf etiquette do everyone including yourself a favor and stay off the course. Read a book of rules or ask your old man first).
Thanks! -

I had booked a tee time at 6:50 am for a threesome on golf http://now.com. When we showed up the guy at proshop said that we were triple booked because of some error with golf now. We started off the first tee after a 30 minute wait at the starter. 4 hours later we made it to the 12th tee and found two groups waiting. We gave up and drove to the proshop to lodge a complaint. The proshop guy pretty much asked us to buzz off. He gave us an email address and phone number to contact. Wrote an email to that address - waited two weeks - no reply.
I have played several rounds at this course prior to this incident. It's always slow on weekends as they pack the groups close to each other. The course in pretty good condition in the morning - the greens get beat up towards the end of the day.
However the sulking guys at the proshop never make for a good experience. I am not going back to this course.
Oh - you can buy a real overpriced bag of chips and hot Dog at the snack shop. -

Yes Its Been Awhile!!!!!
Yes its been awhile since I've yelped last had to take a break to see how addicted I was to yelp. And as you all know the withdraws where unbearable lol.
I'm starting to get back into golf again and having been playing with some of my cigar buddies. Both of these things will surely increase my blood pressure that is golfing and cigar buddies.
I find the course fun and a little challenging its well kept and I find the price at $40 weekday very friendly.
My game on the other hand seems to be all over the place, if I cheat I'm a mid 80's golfer. My buddies dont let me cheat so mid 90's is where I'm at LOL
This is a great place to golf the staff is very friendly and the prices are fair. -
Review from Ara C.
There are approximately 4 full 18-hole courses in this region. Westridge, Fullerton, Los Coyotes, and Coyote Hills. When you find a deal on westridge, it is very much worth the price! Go to http://golfnow.com. I played last time at $25/person. Coyote Hills comparably was $60, fullerton golf course was $20. For $5 more than fullerton, it is very well worth your time to play here.
Holes are well manicured, particularly the greens. Nice views on many different holes. Hole 17 and 18 have a nice little lake that come into play.
Some things to note. There are A LOT of koreans that play here. if you don't like them, you better stay away from this course.
There are a lot of hills at this course. On some of the holes, you cannot drive the cart on the fairway, so make sure you hit your ball well, otherwise you'll be on the course with a lot of walking time.
pace of play is hit or miss. it's fast sometimes, it's slow sometimes. depends who is playing in front of you. -

This was my first time at a golf course! I believe the price was $30 for the guys who played the 18 holes and $15 for the girls who drove the golf carts around. Food was kind of pricey, but I hear that's normal.
It was such a nice day and the course was really nice! I got to drive the golf carts around and those things were fun! Since we had a 2some, the boys got paired up w/ this other 2some and they were really nice. There are rabbits and squirrels running all over the course! One squirrel jumped into one of the golf carts and ate some Cheetos before running off! Also, there's a cart selling drinks which came in handy. I just wanted a cup of ice to chill my drink. Unfortunately, the ice was super dirty and I wasted my drink.
In the end, my boyfriend had a really good time at this course and I'd love to come back and hit some balls myself. -

My husband and I visited over 30 different venues and then I remembered that my friend had gotten married at a WGC. My parents and I went to visit WGC and we put a deposit down right then and there. Robert even offered us to stay and enjoy the Sunday brunch. WGC had everything we were looking for: one event per day(we had the whole venue to ourselves...well the golfers were around for part of the day but they didn't bother us), outdoor ceremony site (they have a beautiful gazebo and semi-shady area for guests to sit), water element (they have a pond right behind the gazebo, nice backdrop), catering (prime rib, chicken Florentine and garlic mashed potatoes were so yummy! Guests also raved about the appetizers), big windows in the main hall, good selection of alcohol, free parking (big lot in the back ), bridal changing room, easily fits 150-200 guests (their banquet hall is huge and even opens up into another room if necessary), great package deals (we went with the platinum pck and added chivari chairs and satin napkins). Robert (catering director) is very direct. He will answer all your questions but as briefly and succinctly as possible. His wife Kimberly is friendly and was very helpful in directing our bridal party during the ceremony. It has many beautiful spots to take your wedding photos onsite. I recommend for all newly engaged couples to visit WGC and consider it for their wedding venue.

I was between 4 and 5 on this one. They did a great job designing this course.
The Course: Westridge is set up on the hills of La Habra and is an easy drive from central OC on a Saturday morning. As far as "higher end" courses go, this is a great one. Not on a Oak Creek, Tustin Ranch or Strawberry Farms level, but definitely on a Eagle Glen, Arroyo Trabuco level. The rough and fairways were in great shape. I'll get to the greens in a second. Westridge is the type of course where you'll score 5-10 shots worse than your average the first time you play here. Lots of risk-reward shots and protected greens. The fairways are staked at 100, 150 and 200 put no yardage on sprikler heads and no GPS. Elevation changes, plus tough greens make this course a challenge.
The greens were hard on the front 9, they were absurd on the back 9. That can be good or bad depending on the type of day you're having. There were a lot of crazy pin placements when I played where you would be putting with you back to the hole. Fun to play courses like this, but not going to help you score too much. I tend to shoot mid to low 80's and I put up a 94 here with a lot of lost strokes around the greens.
Facilities: Nice but a weird set-up. The snack shop and cart return are on the lower level. The pro shop is upstaris and there was a big merch tent when I was here.
Pace of play: Teed off at 7:10 on a Saturday morning and only had to wait a few times to hit. Finished in about 4:40.
Value: $60 with golfnow is a superb value, plus I've seen weekday tee times for as low as $30. The carts don't have GPS and they don't sell booze. Add those two things and I'll give it 5 stars. I don't rip the top of my head off when I golf, but I usually like a beer at the turn. The layout did it's job of making me want to come back and lower my score. Definitely play here if you're in the area. -

Great conditions for the course. We found it on http://Click4teetimes.com for 35 bucks...and that wasn't even twilight!!!
The greens were in good condition and the fairways are lush. However, the course is very very tight. Bring lots of balls because you'll need them. This is a Korean dominated course. You can even order kimchi at the snack shop!!!
Not worth it for the full price..but if you can get discount, it's the best in the area. -

I've played at Westridge twice in the past 2 weeks and the course was VERY slow.
First time I played was on a Thursday and surprisingly every hole was backed up. Started at 2pm and didn't get to finish. I think the last hole we played was the 13th hole and had to turn back.
The second time around was this past Saturday. Talk about Tripple booking T-Times.... I know price is attractive, but having 12-some go out on to the first hole at the same time really Jams up.
Next time, I'd rather pay a little bit more and play more than sit around and smell manure. -

This is a fairly new course and is definitely one of the better ones in the area. Tucked away on the foothills of La Habra and La Mirada, you get some decent views of the city from here. I booked a twilight for $30 with a cart and its definitely a good price for a course this nice. Even at that the time there were quite a few groups ahead and behind us. The conditions are pretty good and the course is challenging.
However, the course feels repetitive. You feel like you're on the bottom of a hill just moving back and forth across the foothills. Another complaint was the snack shack closed early and we couldn't get any munchies for the back nine. But overall for that kind of price, its hard to beat. -

I played here back on 4/2/11. This is a fun course with tight fairways, if you miss to the right you can kiss your ball goodbye (I did this quite a few times). The fairways and rough were in great shape and the greens were pretty fast when I played. Also whoever picked the pin placement had a cruel sense of humor as there was not one straight put into the hole all day. I never landed in them but my buddy I was playing with had a tough time with the bunkers as the were a bit tough to hit out of. I am looking forward to getting to play this course again once I can get my driver straightened out.

I've only been to the driving range here. It's a good sized driving range. I hit a bucket of balls one cool winter day a year ago. The sun was out shining and the day begged to stay outdoors. It had been a few years since I had held a golf club in my hands, but the motion of hitting the little white ball on top of the rubber tee came back to me. I did fairly well, considering, and left with a few blisters on my hands.
I'd be tempted to come back here for a round of golf one day, just so I could see the rest of the course. -
Review from Albert E.

Do you think it'd be fair to rate a course on my actual score? I don't think so, so this place gets the rating it deserves (and not the rating it would've got based on score: 2 stars....I did break 100). Who would be proud of breaking 100, you ask? Well, someone who's played this course for the first time and would normally score anywhere from 90-105.
This course is set on a hill where if you look to the right of the first tee, you see 5 similar holes lined up like a rice terrace. Needless to say, the terrain was extremely tough. Each hole had a tremendous up/down slope and not enough real estate for the fairways.
We were lucky enough to be the first ones out, so we set the pace. I'd like to think we were playing pretty fast, but being a 5-some, I don't think that's possible, so after the turn, the workers caught on and made us break our group up. The place is well kept and the staff was terrific so we didn't mind their request so much.
I usually book online so I get decent discounts on weekends. That made this course a little bearable, in that regard. I don't know if I'd come back anytime soon though, because that course just made me realize that all this playing is actually helping me and now that I've played a tough course, I might be able to get an ego boost by playing an easier course (Key Phrase: MIGHT BE ABLE TO). When I get better, I might check this place out again.
I've been playing a long time but never with any consistency 'til now. Believe me when I say, playing 3-4 times a year does not make you golfer and if you're as competitive as I am, that's 3-4 times you've just wasted some cash. I guess this experience made me realize that. -

I happen to live on the 17th hole and constantly see people struggle. This is one of the most challenging courses in the area because of its tight and narrow fairways. Some holes, however, you get a nice view of LA and Orange County since the golf course is elevated. The course is well maintained and I am sure the workers come up with so many balls. A bit pricey, but what do you expect? It's golf!
Free hard boiled eggs on some days so even if you messed up in the front nine, an egg will help you in the back nine. -

our family went to this course today. At 10th hole, we got stolen all of our wallets and bags.
BE CAREFUL!! we called the pro-shop, and waited for an hour but they didn't do anything, not even apologize.
DON'T GO THIS GOLF COURSE. if you want to, be careful of your goods. we are so upset about it, we will report this to the police tomorrow. Seriously, at the 10th hole, there are no fence, and easy to enter from the street.
just let everyone know that if this happens again, this golf course gotta shut down!
BE CAREFUL AGAIN!!!!!!! -

When driving up to this course, I have to admit, I was pretty underwhelmed, because I thought we were heading into a Home Depot parking lot. Although it appears the course is smack-dab in the middle of a less-than-idyllic strip mall setting, it was actually perched above the suburban cluster below, and turned out to be a really great place. The 18th and 16th were gorgeous holes. Overall I think it plays shorter than the number suggest.
We played in a tournament there yesterday. I really liked this track; it was challenging but not insanely difficult. The fairways and tee boxes were in good shape but the greens weren't the best. They were fast but also randomly bumpy and a few were really rough in some spots. Aside from that, though, it was great.
The staff was very friendly to us and took great care of us. The drink cart girls were especially... helpful. :)
I will definitely play here again. My buddy aced the par 4 ninth, btw. -
Review from Kione E.

I guess I just came at the wrong time of the year, because the course was not well maintained. The fairway was patchy and a bit over grown for my taste. Although, I loved the challenging up and downs of the hills and slopes. I am not a fan of fairways that are to close to one another, being as you'll ALWAYS find yourself waiting to tee-off because some hacker found a way to knock his/her ball on to your fairway, and you'll find yourself waiting for them to hit their ball back into play.
The front 9 layout is just too weird.
Whereas the back 9, the fairways are a little more secluded from each other. That I like.
Another thing that sucks, is that they don't allow you to drive your cart to the car to pick up or drop off you bags.
I don't mind that so much if the main parking lot wasn't up a fricken' hill, and away from the club house.
Service, like the course was very up and down too.
Even though, the guy in the clubhouse was cool to us, he was being a dick to the woman before us, and mainly because they couldn't understand each other due to language barriers.
Although, the 2 ladies running the snack bar was hella sweet. AND, they had Korean style SPAM musubi! AND, it was the bomb! Yeah, I had 3, count it people, 1, 2, 3! 3 of them! And a banana and coke.
Ay, what can I say, I was hungry.
Hello? Can we get some ice? Hello?
Where are the guy(s) that manage the carts?
We had to go upstairs into the dining room to get ice for the coolers for our carts. Lame!
But, the Starter, like all the Starter's that I have met, was such a really really cool guy. Very friendly, informative and an easy going genuine person. I would have loved to play a round with him.
Hi, Mario!!
*Hackers,
The right thing to do when you hit your ball into another fairway is, pick up you ball and take a drop in your fairway. If your ball lands in another fairway, it IS out of bounds. Therefor it IS a drop and a one stroke penalty.
Oh yeah, I WILL pick up and take any stray ball to enforce this rule.
Sincerely,
Kione.Listed in: GOLF

Played on a Friday at 3pm. Temperature 88 and humid condition. I'm a 15 handicap. Shot an 88 for my first time here. With background, here's my take on the course and experience --
What's good:
- Golf course for the money. Twilight is at 3pm for $30 thru Click4Tee...with a cart.
- Course is a good challenge. It's scenic. Greens are good. Fairways are a little beaten up and dry.
- Good pace. Finished in 4hrs 30mins and would have finished 20 minutes sooner if we didn't have a guy in our foursome that was a 25 handicap
- Driving range is nice. The teaching pro is the guy on the Korean channel!. They have a chipping area with real grass. And the putting green is very nice.
- Parking is ample
What's not so good (but hey, it was only $30 and did I mention that includes a cart?):
- Pro Shop guy...service is pretty poor
- Range guy...service is even worst. We got chastise for driving the golf cart down to the range entrance AFTER the Pro Shop guy said you can "drive the cart down to the range". Turns out there are these really, really faint golf cart parking spaces but they're either so faint you can't see it or cars are parked over them.
- Non-existent bar cart...it never came by us the entire round.
- Only two water stations on the entire course. This is La Habra. I think that's spanish for "the frying pan" ;-) Seriously, it get hot in this part of town. So bring your own water and fill up when you see a water station!!!
- Parking. You cannot drive golf carts to the parking lot.
I'll definitely come back for these prices. And I know what to expect (and can live) with respects to the negatives. -

A nice challenging golf course with beautiful views of LA and Orange County; with beautiful holes with large water hazards; with a huge clubhouse and great practice facilities.....in Orange County? Yes, it's at Westridge.
I would give the course 4 stars but for OC courses, I would be putting it on the same plateau as Strawberry Farms and Tustin Ranch. Which it is really not on. If this course was in LA County, it would be a 5 star course compared to what is there. But in OC in the area where it's at with Coyote Hills and Black Gold just miles away, Westridge gets 3 stars, but a good 3 stars.
When I look at the tract of land they have to build this golf course, it doesn't look like a course can fit here. But it does. And it winds through the land, with severe, severe elevation changes. Almost every hole has an big uphill or downhill...Fairways are wide and greens are easy to hit. But the elevation changes make the course so cerebral. You have to think about which club to use. Wrong club, you're 20 yards short or long.
This club has the BEST par 5's in the county. Think two par 5's, especially the 18th, playing downhill, with crosswinds, to rolling fairways into guarded greens. If you hit a good drive, you HAVE to go for it in two. This course is so much fun just wish it was a little bit better maintained. It's great...trust me. -

I don't play golf but I married here in 2009. This place is a hidden gem. I found it in a wedding magazine and decided to take a tour. As soon as we entered the driveway, we fell in love with this place. The flowers were blooming beautifully. As we entered the venue, there was a nice sized bar to the right. And the reception room was gorgeous and big. I love the drapes on the ceiling. It makes it look super fancy.
Then we walked outside and it was breath taking. I love the lakes, the green lawn, and the GAZEBO!!! The gazebo where the ceremony took place was in a nice shady location. It's not like other golf course where it's smack in the middle for all the golfers to watch. It feels secluded and private so it isn't weird having golfers around doing their business. The staffs were all friendly. Kimberly is such a sweet girl. She always has a smile in her face. Robert , however, isn't as friendly.
I returned here 2 yrs later for a friend's wedding. This time , I was able to enjoy this place as a guest. It seems that a lot of their flowers have died around the golf course which is too bad. But service for the bride and groom seem a lot better than ours. I don't remember ever getting hors d'oeuvres put aside for us so we can have our share while we take pictures. I also don't remember having a waiter/waitress taking our order for a drink during open bar.
My friend also wasn't too fond of Robert. He just doesn't like to smile but he's harmless. Bartenders and waiters/waitresses are all nice and professional. Great wedding location! -

this course is tough...i guess compared to my usual LA county municipal rotation...but yea, this course is challenging. The course is setup on rolling hills, making the fairways very tight... you can not spray your driver all over the place here. Plenty of space to lose your ball if you know what i mean...The course is very well maintained. The greens are hard and moderately fast. There are also a lot of elevation changes, so make sure you club up or down accordingly.
But hey, whats golf without some beers right? This place has the DEAL on golf beer...i think it was $2 for domestic draft/can and they have specials on chicken wings.
The golf carts suck tho...i wouldn't pay 80+ dollars for no gps! But, i will pay $40. And we did! -

It took 3 hours 15 minutes to finish the front 9, but it was actually longer than that because our tee off time was delayed by 20 minutes. I should have suspected something when we went downstairs to put our bags in the cart and...... none were available. It turns out they were all out on the course (1st time I have seen that happen). We had to wait several minutes for the next group to come off the 18th, where the poor attendant unloaded their bags, sprayed the cart down, and drove it over to us dripping wet.
The highlight of the round had to be the par 3 7th hole, where we arrived to see 3 groups ahead of us and one still putting out on the green. I have played some crappy municipal courses before but never in my life have I seen that kind of wait for one hole. During the entire 4 hour ordeal, I never saw a single marshall or even a beer cart girl.
The course itself is nice, but it is clear that management doesn't care about anything but cramming out as many groups as humanly possible. For the price and the headache of driving there (no close FWY access), I would recommend playing just about anywhere else. -

One Orange County's newest courses, Westridge Golf Club lies on a hillside nestled between new housing tracks and because of the hillside layout and frequent wind, it definitely challenges the long hitter to keep it in the fairway. On the other hand, Westridge is a pleasure to play because of it's clean views to the foothills and mountains beyond. I can see this place being hard for individuals who can't move around to good. Some of the greens you'll need to walk. Great place!

we had our wedding ceremony here...
pros: beautiful outdoor ceremony site. easy going coordinators.
cons: there was a golfing tournament and there were golf carts and golfers all around our ceremony site. our limo got stuck because cars were parked inappropriately in the front which made us very late to our second ceremony (which was a traditional Vietnamese ceremony). appetizers are kind of pricey.
overall we were satisfied with having our ceremony there. -

Can easily find a 30 buck deal to come out, but bring plenty of drinks and snacks because it's at least a 5 hour round, even on a weekday. Fairways could use work, some muddy areas. Grounds crew working on every hole it seems like. Greens were ok, but bunkers were dirt. Tee boxes are decent, looks like a muni course, but with a nicer layout.

Agree with a poster that its a 3 for OC, 5 for LA, but I work in the Southbay, and just happen to live near the sixth hole, so props for my home course, and I averaged it out. It is seriously tight, and rolling. It is a little less pricey that Coyote Hills, which is four or so miles away, though that is an even tougher course.
Great quality for the discounted tee time prices, and because of the steep rack rates, is not as crowded (and gets handicapped golfers) than La Mirada.
You won't regret playing here, though allow some time for the afternoons, as quite a few balls tend to go astray. -

BEWARE!!! This course double books it's tee times!!!! Do not play this course unless you like waiting on every hole! Played there last Saturday 3/14 and booked the tee time on line http://golfnow.com at a reasonable price. $45.00 for 1:36 time. I thought great, we may be able to get 18 holes in.....NOT!!! When we were teeing off, 3 groups backed on the 1st tee. Told the starter that it looked a bit crowded and he assured us that the pace of play would get better and that there were marshals to help speed up play if needed. Took us about 1:45 minutes to 2 hours to play 3 holes with 3 groups backed up on tee number 4. Called the golf shop to ask for a marshal to come and speed up play and the starter said that there is no Marshal working today. We told him that this is ridiculous, on a Saturday no Marshal and that at this pace we would not even get 9 holes in. He offered to refund us our money if we returned to the clubhouse. We decided to leave and as we were driving back to the clubhouse, on every hole there were at least 2 groups backed up at every hole. I can understand that there are occasions of slow play due to slow players, but this course is knowingly double booking every time and putting the players out knowing full well the delays they are causing. How do I know they are double booking times you say......right after I booked the tee time, the tee time was still available for 4 players for the same time! I thought something was wrong so I called http://golfnow.com and they said no, I was booked for that time but they had another 1:36 for 4 some available and this course only has 1 course. I've heard of double booking before but this was extreme. Needless to say this ruined our golf outing as we were expecting to play an enjoyable round but instead felt violated and taken for stupid. I know times are tough but taking advantage of unknowing consumers is not the way. Shame on this course and http://golfnow.com for allowing this shameful practice.
