点评:There’s a clear pattern here if you read the reviews—rude staff, cheap second-rate balls, and absolutely no concept of customer service. My son brought me here while I was visiting, just to hit a few balls. We’d been to a proper range the day before and thought we’d try something different. Big mistake.
He’d only used this place a couple of times before, so we booked online—no issue. Drove 30–40 minutes, hit traffic, arrived 15 minutes late. Walked into the shop—no one there. Waited, then went to our assigned bay. As we were setting up, an older man marched over and bluntly told us we weren’t welcome. Booking cancelled. No explanation. Just “your son’s banned.” Why? He didn’t know. Asked to speak to the owner—refused.
This was all done loudly, in front of other customers. Humiliating. We walked him back to the shop and demanded a refund there and then...not back to the card sveral days / weeks later. He refused. I told him they were happy to take our money immediately, not bother contacting us about any issue, let us travel all that way, then publicly throw us out. I wasn’t asking—I was getting our money back there and then. Eventually, he “discovered” he could refund us immediately out of the till (who knew...cash works too !). How convenient.
Follow-up: My son reached out to the owner, who claimed there had been “a lot of balls hit over the fence into Broomieknowe a few Sundays ago” and that a golfer was struck. He said there had been, over a prolonged period of time, “a large number of complaints” and decided to restrict any customers who hit a ball over the net that day. Instead of fixing the obvious issue with the netting height, he chose to publicly throw people. He said he does not know who hit the golfer so he was just 'restricting (meaning Banning) everyone that day who hit over the net. That’s his idea of accountability. Pathetic.
My son’s review was mysteriously removed, even though it was completely valid. I expect this one will be censored too. But here it is: this place is a disgrace. Arrogant, unprofessional, and utterly clueless. Never coming back—and I’d advise anyone with self-respect to steer clear.
翻译:如果你看看这里的评论,就会发现一个明显的规律:工作人员粗鲁无礼,球的质量低劣且价格低廉,完全没有客户服务的概念。我儿子在我来访时带我来这里,只是想打几个球。前一天我们刚去过一家正规的练习场,所以想试试别的地方。结果是个大错特错的决定。
他以前只来过这里几次,所以我们在线预订了——没什么问题。我们开车30到40分钟,途中遇到堵车,迟到了15分钟。走进店里后却发现一个人都没有。我们只能干等着。随后我们前往指定的区域。就在我们准备布置时,一个年纪较大的男子大步走了过来,直截了当地告诉我们不受欢迎。预订被取消了,没有任何解释,只说“您的儿子被禁止入内”。为什么?他也不知道。我们要求与店主谈话,但遭到拒绝。
这一切都是在其他顾客面前大声进行的,真是耻辱。我们把他带回店里,当场要求退款……而不是等几天或几周后才退回原支付卡中。他拒绝了。我告诉他,他们很乐意立刻收下我们的钱。根本没必要为了任何问题联系我们——让我们大老远跑过去,然后当着众人的面把我们赶走。我并非在请求什么,只是想当场拿回我们的钱而已。最后,他“发现”自己可以直接从收银机里给我们退款(谁会想到呢……现金也能用啊!)真是方便至极。
后续:我儿子联系了业主,对方称“几个星期天前有大量球打到了Broomieknowe区域”,还有一名高尔夫球手被球击中。他说确实发生过这种事。在很长一段时间里,出现了“大量投诉”,于是他决定限制当天所有击球越过网障的顾客入场。他并未去解决网障高度这一明显问题,反而选择公开禁止这些人入场。他说自己不知道是谁击中了那位高尔夫球手,所以就“限制(也就是禁止)了当天所有击球越过网障的人”。这就是他所谓的“问责方式”。可悲至极。
我儿子的评价也莫名其妙地被删除了,尽管那评价完全合理。我预料这条评论也会被审查。但不管怎样,我要说:这家店简直就是耻辱。态度傲慢、毫无专业水准,而且完全不懂行。我再也不会光顾了——我劝所有有自尊的人也离它远点。
