Pacific Springs Golf Course

Fun and challenging course. Pacific Springs is well maintained. Both fairways & greens are in great shape (Jun 2025).

I’ve enjoyed golfing at Pacific Springs many times and typically have a good experience. However, my last visit left a lot to be desired. I brought my four-year-old son along to ride with us during our round — we were the final outing of the day, on a relatively quiet Friday afternoon. Unfortunately, a staff member named Rick in the clubhouse was visibly frustrated that we hadn’t called ahead to let them know a child would be joining us. Despite there being plenty of carts and no crowd, he treated the situation — and us — as an inconvenience. The interaction felt unwelcoming and dismissive, and it definitely took away from what should have been an enjoyable outing. While I understand policies are in place for a reason, there’s always a way to handle things with professionalism and courtesy — especially at a customer-focused establishment. Hoping for a more welcoming experience in the future.

As someone who cannot afford the time, nor the price of golf on a regular basis I was looking forward to my first outing of the season a couple of weeks ago with a good buddy of mine. I booked a tee time a week in advance, arrived 15-20 minutes early, and was rushed in the clubhouse. With comments from staff “we’ve been waiting on you” and once my partner arrived he went to pay and overheard staff saying “Kaplinger finally arrived.” Once arriving at our first tee box with 5 minutes still until our tee time, we then sat and waited for the two groups in front of us, past our tee time. There was no rush, yet the staff made it very unwelcoming and frankly stressful. Golf is supposed to be fun, I will not be rushed especially if I’m on time. It made me not want to come back, especially now that I have a son who is learning the game. This is not a country club, don’t be dicks.
