Twilight Golf - Kicked Off the Course?
Just a quick inquiry. We were asked by the ambassador on a championship course to stop playing after the 7th hole of our back 9 last night. He said he was concerned for our safety on the course, in the "darkness", that we might drive into a bunker. It was 8:25 when he talked to us, there was plenty of daylight left to finish our round (2 more holes). We were quite surprised but did quit as he requested. We've never had this happen before on any course...and played hundreds of rounds of twilight golf! Has anyone else had this experience?

We had the 5:00 slot start time, were paired up with a great father-son team & were having a wonderful time - 3 hours & 25 minutes into our round, 16 holes completed. We've never been unable to finish 18 holes when we start at 5:00 (weather permitting), including into September.

Perhaps you were the last group on the Course and the Ambassador had a hot date at 9:00 and he needed to shower and be ready for what might develop later on in the evening. Who knows----just joking. On the other hand, perhaps he is new to the job and thought he was doing the right thing. We have played some twilight golf and never encountered an Ambassador telling us when it was too dark and for safety reasons we should call it a night.

My groups (2-3) play until twilights last gleaming every Wednesday afternoon; whatever course we're on the ambassador usually comes around and tells us it's his/her final go-around.

It's 8:34 as I type....and is quite dark outside with just a tad bit of light in the western horizen. I guess I wouldn't want to try to find my ball if I were hitting it off...but to each his own. When I first look outside though, it was about 8:27 and still even at that time it was darker than I'd feel comfortable having it be. I just don't see how one could finish up their game that late........

After 5pm you can play all you want for $7.

It is expected that you show common sense and it is NOT up to the ambassador to impose that on you...I know as I was one.

You can do both, gg.
If you want to start after the shops close, you can just start playing and the ambassador will write you up properly so you can go to (or call) the golf shop the next day and pay. I can start after 6:30 and get nine in easily. Great policy. I've had ambassadors tell me they're making their last round....but never had one tell me to stop playing. |
