点评:I have played at this course a half dozen times in the last 3 years, and I always find it fun and challenging to play. Currently (fall 2023) the course is in great shape, and the greens were very fast when we played there last week. As it is a three-hour round trip drive from my home to get to this course, it is not somewhere that I play often, but I try to take friends there who come in from out of town.
My only complaint about the course is that the last they require a credit card to reserve a tee time,and if you made a reservation for four and only show up with three, they WILL charge you for the missing golfer.
I get that they are trying to keep people from making reservations and not showing at all. However, in our case, I made the reservation for four, and for perfectly reasonable reasons, one of my friends had to bail and not make the trip from Albuquerque. Three of us showed up and had a great time playing golf that day, but when I checked my credit card account several days later I saw that they had charged it a second time for the "missing golfer".
It would have been more understandable if the golf course would have been really crowded that morning and they would have been able to "sell" that slot, but as it was, there were very few people on the course that morning. In fact nobody teed off during the tee times directly ahead of us or behind us. The fact that there were three of us rather than four did not prevent them from selling anybody else a round of golf that morning.
I am not saying that the course management tried to hide this policy that they have, and when I complained about the charge after the fact their response was that I should have called them 24 hours ahead, and there would not have been a charge. In our case we did not know 24 hours ahead that one of our group would not show up. Since I made the reservation, my card got charged.
I don't know about the rest of you, but this is the first time that this kind of charge has ever been levied on me. I would say that next time I will know better, but for me there will not be a next time at this course. I would call this a loss for me as well Black Mesa.
翻译:在过去的三年里,我在这个球场打过六次球,我总是觉得打球很有趣,也很有挑战性。目前(2023 年秋季)球场状况良好,上周我们在那里打球时果岭速度非常快。由于从我家到这个球场需要三个小时的车程,所以这不是我经常打球的地方,但我会尝试带外地来的朋友去那里。
我对这个球场唯一的抱怨是,最后他们需要信用卡来预订开球时间,如果你预订了四个人,但只带着三个人出现,他们会向你收取失踪高尔夫球手的费用。
我知道他们试图阻止人们预订而不显示。然而,就我们而言,我预订了四人,出于完全合理的原因,我的一位朋友不得不离开,不能从阿尔伯克基出发。那天我们三个人来了,玩得很开心,但几天后我检查我的信用卡帐户时,我发现他们已经为“失踪的高尔夫球手”第二次收费了。
如果那天早上高尔夫球场非常拥挤并且他们能够“出售”那个位置,那就更可以理解了,但事实上,那天早上球场上的人很少。事实上,在开球时间里,没有人在我们的正前方或正后方开球。我们是三个人而不是四个人,这一事实并没有阻止他们那天早上向其他人推销一轮高尔夫球。
我并不是说课程管理人员试图隐藏他们的这项政策,当我事后抱怨收费时,他们的回应是我应该提前 24 小时给他们打电话,这样就不会收费。在我们的例子中,我们提前 24 小时并不知道我们小组中的一个人不会出现。自从我预订后,我的卡就被扣款了。
我不知道你们其他人怎么想,但这是第一次对我提出这样的指控。我想说,下次我会知道得更好,但对我来说,这门课程不会有下一次了。我认为这对我和黑山来说都是一种损失。
