So far my husband and myself have been members here for 5 years and we love this course. But the new golf course superintendent has been very rude to us. We were golfing minding our own business. This guy in a green gator cart with a cover on it comes charging over to us and cursed at us telling us to keep our cart in the F-ing cart path. Obviously it’s the superintendent because the other superintendent drove that cart and he was a kind, polite easy going guy. Our cart was on the cart path. I’d say the front right tire was probably 3 inches touching the grass and this guy with a brown beard, glasses and has a small dog with him had some nerve to jump on us. But that’s not all we played 2 more holes and as we went to tee off the water turns on us and guess what the superintendent wasn’t far away. Couple weeks later we came out to play and we hit our ball in a area with white flags. I went to retrieve my ball out of the area and here comes superintendent guy again cursing at us telling us not to step in the flagged areas. Well how else are we suppose to get out ball? Last we heard from other members we know. we are not the only ones this has happened to this year. I’m sorry to say I love the golf course but this superintendent needs to go. The elks are suppose to be a kind, veteran supporting, charity , integrity kind of club well we don’t see that with a rude superintendent like that. Also either fired 3 of his grounds crew for no reason and also put himself on Kima local news claiming the 2 young ladies that worked on the crew were the first ever females to work as grounds keepers. I’m afraid that’s not true. A lady named Bernice pike was part of the grounds crew 15 years ago. How come this so call superintendent didn’t ask the men that worked there 20 plus years if there have been any other females on the crew? The guy is arrogant and ignorant. So if you plan becoming a member I would think twice because this superintendent will come and curse at you for ridiculous reasons and the sad thing is many other members don’t like it either and is already thinking of canceling their memberships and so are we.
