点评:First off - love Pine Trace, been playing here for several years and always my favorite play to get to when I can.
Today - first really "good weather" day so booked 18 holes and alotted 5 hours of on-course time. Apparent after about 4 holes that pace of play would not allow this. Had to wait on every tee/approach...front 9 took 3 hours and did not see a single ranger/person monitoring pace of play. No big deal, its like first good Michigan golf day and a Friday, so just happy to get what I can get and peel out after the front nine.
Issue: course would not issue a raincheck despite paying a $55 "Holiday Rate" in Michigan in April. Everyone who has played golf in Michigan in April knows that courses are not in the best of shape so $55 is already nuts. Was told that there is "no accommodation if you just decide to leave early." It would not have been "early" unless you consider 6 hours the expected duration for 18 holes.
It's not like I won't go back because its a great course but that's not a very good look for a business built on selling an experience.
翻译:首先 - 喜欢 Pine Trace,已经在这里玩了好几年,并且总是我最喜欢的游戏。
今天 - 第一个真正“好天气”的日子,所以预订了 18 个洞并分配了 5 个小时的球场时间。大约 4 个洞后显然比赛节奏不允许这样。不得不等待每一个发球台/进近……前 9 花了 3 个小时,没有看到一个护林员/人监控比赛节奏。没什么大不了的,这就像密歇根州第一个美好的高尔夫日和星期五,所以很高兴能得到我能得到的东西,并在前九洞之后脱颖而出。
问题:尽管 4 月份在密歇根州支付了 55 美元的“假期费用”,但课程不会签发 raincheck。每个在 4 月份在密歇根打过高尔夫球的人都知道球场不是最好的状态,所以 55 美元已经是疯了。被告知“如果你决定提前离开,就没有住宿”。除非您将 6 小时视为 18 洞的预期持续时间,否则它不会“早”。
这并不是说我不会回去,因为它是一门很棒的课程,但对于建立在销售体验基础上的企业来说,这并不是一个很好的外观。
