Humiliating experience. We took a wrong turn on a hiking trail and ended up on the course. We asked at the clubhouse for directions back to the trail and were no more than five minutes on our way when one of the employees - Kevin - stopped us and insisted we turn around. "This is a high-class resort and you two are improperly dressed. Turn back now and go around on the road." (We were hiking, so... I guess we weren't wearing the signature Ralph Lauren polo shirt required to be on the property.) We asked if we could just continue until we connected to the trail, but he became rude and belligerent and sent us to the road, forcing us to walk an hour out of our way to reconnect. Ruined our day.

In an alternative universe where this isn't the snobbiest resort on the island, the employee would have asked us if we were lost then offered us a quick ride in the cart to get back to our trail. We would have apologized, thanked him, and been on our way. But we didn't seem to fit the demographic that is catered to at the resort, so we were treated poorly.
