A few weeks ago I was visiting family in the area from out of state and decided to stop by to hit…read moresome balls on the range. Being my first time here, I wasn't familiar with how things worked at this course, especially with their Toptracer setup and range boundaries. There wasn't clear signage to explain the rules or layout. Unfortunately, after hitting my balls, the owner himself came storming out and started aggressively yelling at me in front of other customers for apparently hitting balls past a certain perimeter -- something I had no idea was an issue. I tried to explain it was my first time there and that I was unaware of any restrictions, but instead of de-escalating, he continued to berate me. Things got even more unsettling when I went to my vehicle in the parking lot, only for the owner to follow me out, sit on the hood of my truck, and physically prevent me from leaving the property. It wasn't until the police that he called arrived, I was able to safely leave. I've never experienced anything like this in all my years of golfing at courses around the country. It was an incredibly unprofessional and uncomfortable situation, and I would strongly advise anyone -- especially visitors -- to be cautious if considering this course. At the very least, be aware that this business seems to lack proper communication and hospitality toward guests unfamiliar with their setup.

I'm very disappointed with the way my 70-year-old mother and my 90-year-old grandmother were…read moretreated at Red Barn Golf Course. A couple of weeks ago they had booked a tee time to play four holes together, hoping to enjoy a quiet, casual outing with a golf cart on a nice day. When they arrived and went inside to pay, the owner immediately scolded them for scheduling a tee time for only four holes, claiming they took a spot away from a "full-paying customer." Instead of calmly explaining course policies or handling the situation with understanding -- especially given their ages -- the owner raised his voice and made them feel unwelcome. He then insisted they pay the full nine-hole fee, even though they were very clear about only wanting to play a few holes. It's incredibly disappointing to see a business treat guests this way, especially elderly customers just looking to enjoy a peaceful round of golf together. There's a right way to manage course operations, and this wasn't it. Customer service and basic kindness matter -- and unfortunately, that was lacking here.

I really like this course. It's a nice combination of woods, elevation change, and character. The…read more#12 par 3 is great - a short hole, usually under 100 yards, but you have to flop your shot over a big oak tree in front of the green. You don't see that very often. Also, watch for the correct green on #1 - as you come down the fairway, you'll see #16's green straight ahead, a little to the right, while #1's green is off to the left a bit. Don't be fooled! The course is kept up nicely. I was there early this spring - even after rainfall - and the course was in great shape. The fairways weren't chewed up yet, and the greens were healthy and sleek. I had a small issue last time out - not with the course, however. My son and I had a foursome roll up behind us on the 9th tee with poor etiquette (playing their radio loudly at the tee box while we were trying to tee off, among other things). At the turn, the folks in the clubhouse asked how our round was going and I mentioned that group. We weren't bothered for the rest of the round, so they seem to have handled it. Based on that, as well as how we were treated when we arrived, I would say the staff are great! Very friendly and they care that you enjoy your round properly. I really wish this course were closer to home - it's about an hour drive for me. But if I find the right deal, it's worth the drive.

Love the course it is run so great by the people at kemper sports and Steve is a great pro to talk…read moreto as well! He does our outings every year and it goes without a hitch!
