The Club at Westminster

I enjoyed the course at Westminster. I read online that the course was redone in 2023 so I had high expectations. The back 9 was gorgeous with well kept greens. The front 9 however was spotty with some hard ground in the fairways. I rented clubs there that were brand new, fantastic clubs at a fair rate. I wish there was a cart girl out on the course or water jugs at a few holes.

My friends and I (a group of 8) stopped by the Westminster club while waiting for others who were golfing. I ordered a flatbread, but after a couple of bites, I realized it tasted like frozen pizza. I politely asked our server if I could change my order, and she said yes. She was kind and professional throughout. However, after I placed a new order, a manager named Rachel—who appeared to be off-duty and came in with wet hair—approached me and insisted I pay for the flatbread since I had taken “some” of it. I explained I had asked permission from the server first and had only taken two bites. Rachel’s response? That I had eaten “two pieces,” and that was enough to charge me. I was surprised not just by the enforcement of this policy (which seems questionable), but by the dismissive way it was handled. She eventually asked if I could at least pay $5 for the bites I had. I declined—this left a very sour impression. We all were stunned at how she behaved. I don’t believe this reflects the kind of hospitality one expects at a clubhouse like Westminster. I won’t be returning. The only upside was our server, who handled things with grace.

The setting is a very nice business casual. The staff is friendly and professional. The grounds are well kept and very appealing!
