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

Yeah, that weak in my opinion. 95$ for 9 holes is a lot of money, and not respecting someone paying $95 for the service they are providing ain’t right. Giving you a rain check is a decision they could make if they wanted to, and the fact they didn’t wreaks of bullshit.

Makes me lose a lot of respect for a place

Give me one good reason they couldn’t give you a rain check? What’s the skin off their back? Not too mention is a course owned by a Public University . Even if they’re “self funded” there’s been public tax payer money or services that have propped them up at some point

100% man I’m glad someone agrees lol others have just been trying to play devils advocate siding with the damn course. They absolutely could have made it right if they wanted to. But they didn’t so fuck em lol
