Great course, greens and fairways in excellent shape, and we enjoyed ourselves in spite the rudeness that we experienced from Chip in the pro shop. As two women golfing alone, rudeness to the point of being uncomfortable made us feel as if there was a bias against single women golfing. The evening before the pro shop told us that the course was wide open in the morning so to feel free to ask if we could get off earlier - if we wanted to. We did in fact wake up early and came to the pro shop where sadly chip was working rather than the staff from before. Chip informed us that there were no openings on the course for at least an hour unless we could go off in 5 minutes - with a look of you won t really do that, We took that offer and managed to be at the starter on time. The course was almost empty and during our 3 hour and 40 minute round, we never encountered any other players. Afterwards when we left, we told the staff how lovely everything was except for the cold reception upon checking in. The gentlemen then said Oh so that s why Chip was screaming over the radios to all the staff to stop telling people they could go off early. Chip is not an asset to this lovely course nor his obvious bias toward women golfers.
