- JMjohn molumbyNov 9, 20255.0Very nice course
- MGMason GoldeOct 27, 20252.0There was a 60+ yr old came out accusing me of not signing out the golf cart, i showed him it was signed out cool. Second kid comes out maybe 13 years old starts accusing me of not paying for the cart, everything was paid online. Then whoever the frat lookin guy in the pro shop who gave me the rentals comes out and starts accusing me of the same shit. Wasn't resolved till my party had to say I was with them. Didn't receive an apology just got excuses. Course was alright to play on though, cart path sucks a little. Id rather go to top golf instead of this cow pasture.
- AKAlex KellyOct 1, 20251.0Came in today to play a round of 9 on pioneer. Everything started off fine, paid and went to the bar to grab a few drinks with my buddies. While we are in a line a manager of some sort named Dave walked into the room saying I made some sort of sexual remark at one of his female workers. We all turned to him and asked if he was serious and he said I was running my mouth and making hand gestures at me like a child. I turned to the female employee and apologized for any confusion and asked her what I had apparently said. She said you didn’t talked to me as this was our first words together and proceeded to apologize. The worst part is Dave came behind the bar and placed a hand on her which clearly made her uncomfortable. He proceeded to come outside and let our group know we better respect the woman ahead of us. This man should be in no place of power nor work with people as his behavior is unacceptable. I’d also test him for alcohol as he was slurring his words most of the time. Do not come here, you will be disappointed and disrespected.
- TLtyler laymanOct 1, 20251.0We played 9 holes at pioneer today and while we were grabbing drinks before we teed off, a higher up named Dave accused my friend, who is a father with a wife and young child, of making inappropriate motions towards the young lady behind the concession stand. We were totally confused and had no idea what he was talking about and he then said,”Slow down, dont ask thirsty.” Implying that he was doing a sexual movement. We are immediately confused and defensive towards our friend because we know nobody did anything wrong. He starts speaking loudly and walks to the back and my friend who was accused asked the same young lady if he did anything to make her uncomfortable and she said no. He was picking us out for no reason and the way his fellow co-workers and employees were all silent and watching made it seem like it was a normal occurrence. We asked him multiple times to give us some proof or what we did wrong and he just acted aggressive and even stepped very close to me. Something like this cant be tolerated and he should be terminated from that job.
