Elma Meadows Golf Club Tee Times

If this is is the only review I ever leave I am going to make it count, with that being said Elma Meadows is a nice course in solid condition that I have enjoyed playing the two times I went. Unfortunately today when me and my girlfriend decided to play we where met with one of the rudest starters or individuals I have ever encountered. After we arrived an I paid me and my girlfriend who was not playing because she had a broken leg made our way to the starter, when I passed him my receipt he looked at me and started asking what she was doing in the cart ? I simply explained that she was just riding along and that she was unable to play. Little did I know that this was the start of one of the rudest interactions I have ever had. The starter who was a tall elderly gentlemen began rudely explaining that they don't allow riders, when I asked if I could pay a cart fee for her he instantly shut that down, he then said that everyone in the cart needs their own clubs (must have 5). He then got way to close to the cart and arrogantly asked what are we going to do about this? as if we where making this a big deal. I calmly looked at him and said what are the options we don't want to make anything more difficult for you, what can we do? His response was "Oh you're not making anything hard for me, but I will tell you that this is not going to fly on my golf course" In order for us to play we had to go back to the cashier and pay for 18 holes and a cart along with rental clubs for my girlfriend who in case you forgot still had a broken leg and could barely move without help. This low quality lecture that he gave us took place in front of the "Elma Meadows Rules" sign which had no listing of any requirement that there are no riders or non players allowed, and that all players must have their own clubs and a minimum of 5. Like I said before the course was a great time, its a fun layout with good challenging holes in a really pretty area. I would recommend playing it but make sure you drive quickly past the starter he is easily worked up. Me and my girlfriends attempt to get out and enjoy a beautiful day was not spoiled by this man no matter how hard he tried. Its truly unfortunate that we had to deal with someone who clearly was never taught basic manners and people skills, as someone who works in a customer service field I cant even fathom treating someone the way me and my girlfriend where treated today. We never at any point showed any disrespect towards him or any other member of staff, and even after I went back to pay for my girlfriend to "play" we passed him the receipt and still left him with a thank you. I really hope that this is addressed but based on the similar reviews dating years back my hopes are not high.

Best value golf course for the money and a hidden gem. It’s next to a ski area which helps add to the beauty of the layout. A good amount of hills and treelined. Course conditions are great for the price and above average for a city course. No cart girl or drinks available at the clubhouse so bring your drinks beforehand. Has a range and decent gas carts. I wouldn't recommend getting season pass here because it's impossible to get a tee time here. Don't be fooled by the great price and value of the pass. They pretty much have daily tournaments here and your fighting for tee times with season pass holders + public which makes it borderline impossible to get a tee time here. It is a headache to book a tee time here and you have to book well in advance.

Course is in great condition Nice place to get a quick 9 holes in with our 4 year old. (she has clubs, they sometimes give us trouble when we bring her)Staff for the most part is very nice. The 5pm price is $12 crazy good. The weekly & weekend price is fair.

This is a great old golf course! since the big irrigation project the course has healed up and is in great condition! the greens, fairways and tee boxes all in excellent shape. I never had one of those stupid hard pan lyes. Its long, If you dont hit the ball far this will be a tough course, long par 4's make played like par 5's. this course is amazing in the fall... the giant hard wood trees are super colorful. enjoy!
