点评:Our recent society visit was a dreadful experience.
The course wasn't as good as when I had last played it about 8 years ago. It was tired looking, with both greens and tees in poor condition. Pace of play was glacial. The clubhouse was understaffed and poorly managed.
Although the course seemed clear when we first teed off, we soon caught up with another society who were evidently in absolutely no hurry, and seemed unfamiliar with the course and etiquette of the game. This isn't entirely the fault of the course, but pace of play should be made clear to visiting groups, and there was no mention made to us. They were just after the money!
Our 1st group walked off after 9, beaten by the pace of play. They went into the clubhouse, managed to get fed, arranged to get picked up, and left. They were the lucky ones.
Once the rest of us finished the 5 hour slog we were told by the bar staff that the kitchen weren't ready for us, because they were dealing with the society in front!
We were told that it would be almost an hour before we could be seated, by which time our bus would have left to make its next booking. The bar staff and pro listened to our problem, and shrugged. The bar staff stated that it had been agreed that we wouldn't be seated for food until long after we had completed our epic round. Who this was agreed with was never explained. It certainly wasn't any of us.
So we left, unfed, and without a refund because nobody had the authority to issue one, and they would not provide contact details for anyone who could!
As we were leaving, the chef appeared and announced that he was ready for us, and had been for half an hour! If only he had told the bar staff!
We won't be back. There are many far better golf courses in the area which provide much better value and are adequately staffed and properly managed.
翻译:我们最近一次去社团的体验糟透了。
球场不如我八年前上次打球时那么好。它看起来破旧不堪,果岭和发球台都状况不佳。打球节奏缓慢。会所人手不足,管理不善。
虽然我们第一次开球时,球场看起来很清晰,但我们很快就遇到了另一个社团,他们显然一点也不着急,而且似乎对球场和比赛礼仪都不熟悉。这并非完全是球场的错,但应该向来访的团体明确说明打球节奏,但他们却没有向我们提及。他们只追求钱!
我们的第一批人九点后就离开了,被打球节奏打败了。他们进了会所,好不容易吃了点东西,安排了接机,就离开了。他们真是幸运。
我们其他人打完五个小时的球后,酒吧工作人员告诉我们厨房还没准备好,因为他们正在处理前面的客人!
我们被告知还要等将近一个小时才能入座,到那时我们的巴士就已经出发去预订下一轮了。酒吧工作人员和专业人士听完我们的问题后,耸了耸肩。酒吧工作人员说,他们已经商定,在我们打完这场史诗般的比赛很久之后才能入座用餐。至于和谁商定的,他们从未解释过。肯定不是我们任何人。
所以我们离开了,没吃饱,也没退款,因为没有人有权限退款,他们也不会提供任何有权限退款的人的联系方式!
我们正要离开时,厨师出现了,宣布他已经准备好迎接我们了,而且已经等了半个小时了!要是他早点告诉酒吧工作人员就好了!
我们不会再来了。这附近有很多更好的高尔夫球场,性价比更高,人员配备充足,管理得当。
