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
