点评:Was up north visiting some friends and decided to check out Sheffield's Golf Course. The course itself was beautiful and genuinely enjoyable to play.
We teed off on the first hole and, since nobody was behind us, combined into a group of six (three groups of two) for the second hole. When we arrived at the third hole, the groundskeeper/owner, Tom, was waiting in the middle of the cart path with his arms crossed and an obvious look of frustration.
As we approached, he told us to disband our group immediately or he would remove us from the course. When we explained why we thought it was acceptable, he simply replied, "You saw the policy when you came onto the course. If I see that again, I'm going to ask you all to leave."
I completely understand the importance of enforcing course policies. However, there are professional and respectful ways to communicate with customers, and unfortunately that was not the approach taken here. We were spoken to as though we had committed a serious offense rather than playing with a slightly larger group.
To make matters worse, he continued to follow us throughout the round, even stopping his mower at times to watch us from a distance. It created an uncomfortable atmosphere and took away from what should have been an enjoyable day on an otherwise excellent course.
Overall, the course itself is very nice, but the owner's aggressive approach and tendency to monitor players closely appears to be a recurring complaint. If you're looking for an enjoyable and relaxed round in the area, I would recommend Six Foot Bay instead.
I can't support businesses that treat customers this way.
翻译:去北部拜访朋友,顺便去谢菲尔德的高尔夫球场打球。球场本身很漂亮,打起来也很享受。
我们在第一洞开球,因为后面没人,就组成了六人一组(三组,每组两人)打第二洞。到了第三洞,球场管理员兼老板汤姆正站在球车道中间,双臂交叉抱在胸前,一脸沮丧。
我们走近他,他让我们立刻解散,否则就把我们请出球场。我们解释了为什么我们觉得这样做没问题,他只是简单地说:“你们进球场的时候就看到了规定。如果我再看到这种情况,我就请你们离开。”
我完全理解执行球场规定的重要性。但是,与顾客沟通应该有专业和尊重的方式,很遗憾,这里并没有这样做。他们对待我们的态度好像我们犯了什么严重的错误,而不是我们只是和一群人一起打球而已。
更糟糕的是,他全程尾随我们,甚至时不时停下割草机,远远地盯着我们。这让人很不舒服,也破坏了原本应该在如此优秀的球场上享受的愉快体验。
总的来说,球场本身很不错,但老板咄咄逼人的态度和密切监视球员的习惯似乎成了大家的共同抱怨。如果您想在附近找个轻松愉快的球场打球,我推荐您去六英尺湾球场。
我无法支持这样对待顾客的商家。
