Badlands Golf Company, Waterloo, ON

Owner was rude and disrespectful. A friend and I brought out 2 beginners as an introduction to the sport. We figured this would be an appropriate course. We were met by a brash young lady as we paid. The owner then welcomed us on the 3rd hole by yelling at us to "speed up". We were 1 of 2 groups on the first 9. This was 6:15 pm on a September evening. For reference, our Pace of Play (9 holes) was ~50 minutes. Having read other reviews, this is a common occurrence. Tee blocks were worn-out range mats. Fairways were mostly spotty/patchy weeds/crabgrass. Greens were poorly maintained, covered in pitch marks, slow and predictable. Poor excuse for a Pitch N Putt. Owner is can't-make-this-up-rude. 0 stars. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

Rude staff. Not a place for beginner players. You will get chased off the course for taking longer than 5 mins per hole even if you’re the only person on the course.
