Copetown Woods is always super, that goes for pro shop and all the staff.
Grand Niagara was also excellent. Blew me away actually.
Woodington Lake is another one which has been top notch.
Add Niagara Legends as being v.g.
Willow Valley has been pretty crap of late. It's busy, and cheap, and so I don't care that much. Eagles Nest bag/cart staff were also a bit snarky (pro shop was excellent, strange contrast).
I play Woodington all the time, though not during peak hours. I find the staff super friendly and helpful. Not sure how quick they move things along on a Saturday but Friday mornings are great.
Only ever actually played there that one day, weather conditions were not great and the course was not busy, seem to remember it was at the end of the year.
I must say that the person who served me was not a regular pro shop employee, I suspect.
Was not my reason for not returning, I've just not gotten around to going there again.
I must have caught them on a bad day.

I've had a couple of excruciatingly slow checkins there. Not often, and not from the regular guy running the pro shop. It seems to take forever to... check my name and swipe my card.
My rounds take anywhere from 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 rounds on average. On average I'm in the pro shop for 2 minutes. I can't honestly say that I even remember what most pro shops were like, let alone rate them. I'm more worried about avoiding golf courses that take to long to get around.
Even Burlington Springs that gets a bad rap in the pro shop, I can't remember a bad experience. I pay then go to the tee. How difficult can it be.

Of course if YOU treat ME like crap, you won't recieve anything in return. Like green fees, return visits, or fees from anyone I know.
I refuse to pay money that contributes to the income of anyone who treats me rudely.
I'm curious. Do you actually own the course, or are you employed by the course owner?
Regardless, the pro shop experience rates just about the bottom of the list of things I care about at a course.
so as a customer,if you go
into a retail operation and treat their staff badly..you still expect that
staff to treat you with respect???
Really? I'm with NP on this one. If someone goes into a business and swears at/threatens etc the staff, I expect them to be asked to leave. If I owned a business, I would want to support my staff and make sure they know that I am on their side in situations like this.
I have to figure this is a last in translation thing regarding the level of "misbehaviour".
I worked in restaurants growing up and ran into the odd jackass who thought they could mistreat anyone in service. One night I had a drunken customer wave his hands wildly over his head as I was approaching with a tray of drinks. He hit the tray and booze went all over him. He lost it. I apologized and offered to comp his bill. He wouldn't settle down...yelling and screaming at me. I asked what I could do to make it right...maybe pay for his dry-cleaning bill? He said he wanted to dump a beer on my head.
Very calmly, I said "Obviously that's not going to happen. Despite the fact that this was obviously your fault, I offered to pay for your meal, your dry cleaning, and asked what else I could do to diffuse the situation. Maybe you should leave." He yelled that he wanted to speak to the owner. I went in the back and got the owner who came out and told the guy that if he didn't leave, the cops would be on their way...and please don't return. The rest of the restaurant clapped, lol.
