点评:We were booked to play 18 holes 'twilight' golf today starting at 14.24. We turned up at 14.00 to be greeted by a scene that can only be described as organised chaos. There were about 20+ golfers milling around the first tee area and no-one teeing off. It soon became clear that there were no buggies available! We were told that things were running about 25 mins late, which is ridiculous. Those who had booked a buggy (probably 75%) were told to tee off (using a trolley) and staff would hopefully supply a buggy by the third hole! It was also pretty obvious from the two groups we subsequently watch tee off that it was going to be 5 hour plus round (we could also see quite a group already queueing on the second tee), so we decided to call it quits. Thankfully, the club agreed to a full refund in the circumstances. I would agree with numerous other comments that a tee time spacing of 8 minutes (all 4 balls) is "asking for trouble" given the general ability of golfers playing this course. It goes without saying that no proof of handicap was requested. A great shame because the course itself is very good.
翻译:我们预定了今天下午2点24分开始的18洞“黄昏”高尔夫。我们下午2点到达,迎接我们的是一片混乱,简直可以用“井然有序”来形容。大约20多名球手在第一发球区闲逛,却无人开球。很快我们就发现,没有可用的球车了!我们被告知比赛将晚点25分钟左右,这太荒唐了。那些预订了球车的球手(大概75%)被告知要开球(用手推车),希望工作人员能在第三洞之前提供球车!从我们随后观看的两组开球情况来看,这轮比赛显然要打5个多小时(我们还看到第二发球区已经有不少人在排队了),所以我们决定放弃。谢天谢地,俱乐部同意在这种情况下全额退款。我同意其他许多人的评论,考虑到打这座球场的球手的普遍水平,8分钟的开球间隔(全部4个球)简直是“自找麻烦”。不用说,他们没有要求提供差点证明。这真是太可惜了,因为球场本身就很棒。
