Perhaps the ventilation was the issue or perhaps it was the number of smokers, but either way it detracted from enjoying the game. There was no issue with the bingo game or staff, it was the smokey atmosphere. For smokers, this is a non-issue, but for non-smokers, be forewarned.

Disappointing Experience at Colonial Park Golf Course…read more We traveled seven hours from out of town to play Colonial Park Golf Course and were very disappointed with the experience we had. Our group consisted of five golfers who had made reservations several weeks in advance, looking forward to enjoying a day on the course. Unfortunately, our experience was negatively impacted by the course attendant, who repeatedly harassed our group throughout the round. The final incident was when he approached us and asked us to let a group of local golfers play through because he claimed we were not keeping pace. At the time, the group behind us was actually two holes back, there was no one in front of us, and we felt we were playing at a reasonable pace. We politely declined to let them play through under those circumstances. After that, it seemed the attendant continued looking for a reason to remove us from the course so the local players could move ahead. He eventually approached us and informed us that because every golfer in our group did not have their own individual set of clubs, we would either need to rent another set or accept a refund and leave. This requirement was never communicated when we made our reservations, despite the fact that we were traveling seven hours to play this course. My daughter and I are the same height and build and were sharing a set of clubs. We were not slowing down play or causing any issues, and our shared clubs had absolutely no impact on the pace of our round. It was extremely frustrating to travel such a long distance, make reservations in advance, and then feel singled out and unwelcome. A simple conversation about expectations before we started our round could have prevented this situation. Instead, we felt that the rules were being enforced selectively and that our group was treated unfairly. We came to Colonial Park expecting a great golf experience and a memorable trip. Unfortunately, the way our group was treated by the course attendant overshadowed what could have been an enjoyable day. We hope management reviews this situation and improves communication with guests so future visitors do not have the same experience. We will most certainly never return. Hopefully the locals can keep this place running because they do not welcome outside guest.
