You may get a bit too much of a hardcore golfer's perspective here, we are all pretty obsessive golfers here.

Last question (not a yes or no) are you a member anywhere and if so beside the course and the condition, what one thing do you love about your home course? N/A. I do however like getting treated with the same courtesy that a member would. One course that stands out in my mind for this is Metcalfe. ALWAYS friendly staff, who go out of their way to help. There is an older man who works as a marshal who is an absolute joy to deal with and he seems quite eager to chat you up and give you any tips on the holes. Rob, the GM was very nice when giving me a tour of the facility when I was considering membership and was not pushy in the least. Other courses in the area seem to have 2 tiers of service. 1 tier for their members, and a second rate level of service for us lowly green fee payers. Those are courses I do not do repeat business with.

Thanks to everyone who has replied! If you haven't please take a moment and help out! I was at a neighboring course this past week and the GM there was using the info and thanked me for putting this out there! So Please add your answers. Cheers!

Last question (not a yes or no) are you a member anywhere and if so beside the course and the condition, what one thing do you love about your home course? not a member but I put high value on customer service and etiquette. Teach cart personnel the proper way to roll up on a group ( don't barge up to the tee or lumber accross the fairway while people are hitting) ; teach you maintenance people to get out of the way and turn off equipment when players are putting / hitting; teach you marshalls to do more than drive around and nod ; have a starter with a sense of humor sets the tone for the day and have pleasant customer service oriented people working in the pro shop. There are lots of Ottawa area courses that I can spend my money at be thankful I am your customer don't make it seem like you are doing me a favor by letting me play your course.
