Lake Monticello Golf Course Tee Times

I liked this course for the layout and the challenge of having to course manage around some tight landing areas. I’d give it a 4 or 5 stars if it was in better shape. Most of the greens were patchy and look like they had seen better days (the putting green should’ve been a big indicator). Some tee boxes were also patchy/bare, #13 especially. I know climate has been rough to the grass in the central VA region, I’ll be back and can hopefully update the review.

The course itself was nice, but the overall experience was extremely disappointing due to the staff. We were nothing but respectful, yet several staff members had noticeable attitudes. Our waitress at the bistro never smiled, seemed miserable the entire time, and even blamed us for a mistake that she made. For people who have never been there and rarely golf, the staff was completely unhelpful and unprofessional. No one mentioned when clubs had to be returned, and then we were suddenly forced to bring them back earlier than the time they gave us 15 minutes prior. Mason in particular should not be working there—he blatantly lied multiple times in an attempt to get us removed. Overall, the staff ruined what could have been a great day. Terrible experience, and I won’t be coming back. I would recommend finding another golf course if you’re looking to have a good time. Do better.

Greens were terrible. No liquor license = no cart girl = waiting on the restaurant to open to purchase any adult beverage. If the greens were in better shape this course would have received 4 stars. (-1 for making hunt down swing juice)

Great course, the golfing was great…. That’s it. Staff was unhelpful, rude, and very unprofessional. You would think after paying for 18 holes you’d get to play all 18, not get harassed and kicked out by Mason well before closing. Looking forward to golfing somewhere that’s not a rip off and full of condescending jokers.

Without a doubt the worst customer service experience I’ve ever had In my life. The whole staff for the most part was rude . As a group where for most of us it was our first time playing golf they didn’t really give us a breakdown of any sort on how it works. They never told us when the clubs had to be returned until near the very end when they locked the golf carts on us. We paid for a whole 18 holes but the golf carts were locked on hole 10. The bistro was another experience, the service was slow and the waitress messed up our tickets and then tried to blame it on us somehow. And to end the day mason who works in the clubhouse tried to get one of us trespassed for absolutely no reason at all. We were never told at any point to leave or anything like that. Terrible experience I wouldn’t recommend this golf course to my worst enemy. If you enjoy being around terrible people who don’t care and only want to make your life miserable this is the place I’d go.
