Little Bennett Golf Course has lost me as a customer and ambassador of good will.
I am sick and tired of pro shops putting out a walk on 4-some on a Saturday ahead of a group of women because they think we play slow. My group waited 20 minutes on every hole while guys searched the bushes for that elusive Pro V1. We called the shop 3 times from the course to have someone expedite play....they did nothing. One guy in front of us took 11 practice swings....geez.
The maintenance crew was out mowing and watering every where. They would stand behind us waiting to mow a tee box while their mowers idled. We asked them to turn them off and they said they could not. What a waste of time.
Also, no beverage cart on the course...said they were short staffed, but a lot of young men who worked at the course were speeding all over the course in carts.
Shame on the staff and management of Lake Bennett. While they were taking good care of the course, they were taking lousy care of the customers. What should have been a great day of golf was instead a bad and frustrating experience. I will not go back.
