Thought it worth mentioning the rude treatment that was dished out to my golf group yesterday at Cane Garden.
Us 4 girls finished our round of golf and thought we'd go have a drink. Knowing that Cane was close to their dinner rush we thought we'd sit outside since many times in the past it has been questioned if we'd be staying long and taking up a table inside that may be needed for those ordering a meal. We entered the outside patio area and noticed an available table although it had no chairs, next to 4 gentleman enjoying their pitcher of beer. Two of the girls from my group asked a couple from a nearby table if we could use their 2 unused chairs, no problem. As the 2 chairs were slid to the empty table an employee came like lightning towards us, grabbed the chairs and said " these chairs are needed for our customers" we indicated that we'd like to sit and have a drink and the response was " there's places to sit in front of the pro shop".
I fully understand that this is "season" and this is the time of the year that the restuarants are trying to make a bundle but, that employee was very rude and abrupt.

I did go inside and speak with management. BTW, I did notice that there was no wait at this time...people were being seated as they arrived. The manager listened to my complaint and explained to me that groups of people popping in to have a drink and taking chairs from surrounding tables is a problem as they are needed for diners and that she would speak to the employee who she thought should not have spoken to us that way.
Guess my money just isn't as good as the seasonal diners.
