Black Diamond Ranch

What a fun course! The conditions were great. Greens are a little tricky to read. Many holes have multiple ways to play. Definitely a must play.

Long story short... if you do the stay-n-play as non-members, expect to be treated like 2nd-class citizens. I recently organized a group of 16 to play 2 rounds of golf on the same day (Quarry in morning, Ranch in afternoon). We had guys flying in from outside FL for this big day of golf. Communication with Greg/Sales over a two-month period trying to plan the event was intermittent, which should have been the sign that I needed to go elsewhere. Long story short, the evening before our big day, I get a one-sentence email from Greg simply stating our first set of tee times were bumped to 11am to accommodate Member play. After a 5 1/2 hour round waiting on groups in front of us during our first round, and rushing through lunch as quickly as possible, we only got a handful of holes in on the Ranch. All in, we dropped ~$8,000 on golf, lunch and beverages for the day. While the cart staff and restaurant staff were wonderful, we definitely didn't get what we paid for. I wrote Greg a month ago asking for some sort of refund on greens fees given our group are not wealthly by any means (mostly first-responders... firefighters, police, teachers). Crickets from Greg. Maybe this review will prompt a response.

Great course, well maintained and fun to play. The staff is all great, friendly and engaging and down to earth. Everyone was interested in making our playing experience enjoyable. If recommend this course to anyone.
