I would warn fellow residents, many whom I've seen walking the course after hours, that the owner is a hostile, angry person. There were so many better ways that this could have been handled. While I do acknowledge that the course is private, and we were in the wrong, what a disgraceful way to treat residents who own property adjacent to the course. As a Canadian myself, I was appalled at their behaviour. I was immediately corrected and told that no, even better, we were in the presence of the golf course owner, who hailed from Windsor, Canada. No idea who these two were so I asked if they were the course police. They demanded to know what we were doing on private property and threatened to have us arrested. We turned around and were heading back when a golf cart came speeding towards us and we were immediately bombarded from both the man and his female partner. It was twilight, and the course was empty, except for one pair of golfers who we saw in the distance ahead. I had the dubious pleasure of meeting the owner of the Union Hills Golf Club when my husband and I were taking a brief walk on the course in front of our home. I would recommend this course to anyone looking for an inexpensive afternoon of golf. And also be aware that to go from the first to the second tee you have to cross a very busy street. Just be prepared to have another person not only make up a foursome, but to ride in your cart with you. He was super nice about everything and we were able to get the rustiness after a few embarrassing holes, but it was a different experience to say the least! That being said, it was a fun afternoon, the course was in reasonably good shape, and the weather was great. So my mom drove around another golfer who was obviously much better than we were. We had a single golfer added to our group and put in as a fourth in our carts. This time something happened that I had never heard of. We were with my mom who is 81 and golfs at least weekly at Westbrook Village so she was good form. It was me and my sister's first time out since last summer so we knew we would be rusty. You can't beat the twilight price, and the course itself is good for a duffer like me. This is the second time I have golfed this course.
This is jn the middle of the 'Corona' and was not an issue of shortage of clubs, just shortage of good customer service. I would say 'strike this one off your list, but i would venture most are subdivision players there anyways and they don't really give a crap for guests.
Being a 'tourist' I didn't complain, but a person in our foursome from Chicago was very pissed off at the cost / value, particularly once he saw the crap they wanted my partner and I to play with. The bar and restaurant were closed, not told to us prior, with just a grill out at the turn and no one there. The putter I was given had three different man made bends in the shaft the worst of which extended the angle of the putter foot out past even a comfortable angle. I had three different brands of clubs, seven different shaft stiffness's of which three were steel shafts and four were graphite. For the cost, I felt we were basically ripped off. Unfortunately the course received a lot of rain, but actually seemed to drain quite well. As we flew down, we rented clubs and hoped for a good round. We decided to go here as it was the first round of the year for us 'Canucks' and anything more would have been overkill. Was able to play a round of golf at a local course.
