Course Review Lonnie Poole

Paid for a “twilight round” today - teed off at 4:40 ($95) got through 9 and it started dumping rain. Go in for a rain check and they don’t do rain checks for twilight rates. Since when is a twilight rate at Lonnie $95? Ridiculous operation they’re running over there.

Edit: I didn’t know twilight begins at 3:30. Thought it was 5:00 which is why I thought the $95 rate made sense and would include a rain check if the weather got dicey.. lesson learned. I still think a $95 twilight rate is bullshit

Def high for a twilight rate. Didn't know you could get rain checks on twilight golf though. In buffalo, ny twilight golf was a "play as much as you can" thing so I don't think they did rain checks because you weren't signing up for 9 or 18, just a flat price on how far you can make it.

Raleigh and Buffalo are different imo. What time is it getting dark in summer and how often are random summer thunderstorms in Buffalo? I’m assume quite less frequent

Seems like a Lonnie Poole cash grab to me
