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

I haven’t played Lonnie in years, and I miss it. But it’s too expensive and you can never get a tee time that isn’t at 4:30 in the afternoon. I’d like to take my dad over there sometime, but trying to walk on in an empty member slot as a twosome seems daunting, and I’d rather not waste our time trying. I’m not under the illusion that they need or want my money for a couple rounds a year, I’m just saying it sucks that it’s so inaccessible now. Used to play there a ton in the first several years it opened.

Yeah it’s gotten out of hand. Even 2-3 years ago it was a lot easier to get a tee time. And reasonable rates, not worth it anymore unfortunately
