RedWater Reviews

Ownership comes from a completely different world. They are very out of focus and they do not understand hospitality, particularly golf. They micro-manage as if they were customers or members. They are not from golf, restaurants, or hospitality. The original management is very similar. This is a company that is a prime example of a local hospitality company that started off small at 3 of the worst examples of Michigan golf and restaurants. Watermark, Sunnybrook, & Stonewater were goat tracks, with goat food restaurants. The ownership has improved those places and destroyed lives and careers in the process. Return on investment and profitability have always created dysfunction in this group. It has not improved since I left. Eating up properties is a great long-term investment for them, and this has not transferred to employees, customers, or West Michigan as a whole. Dollars and dopamine fixes are their business. Upper management in golf operations is terrible. I would recommend using them before they use you up. The golf industry in Michigan is hard enough. Golf operation management will make you want to go back in time and change careers. Employees are not valued as an investment, but instead used as tool.

Company is being mismanaged, and treating their employees unfairly. Large changes come from out of nowhere, with little warning for the staff. Cooked food leftoverfrom banquets that they have is being used in the restaurant and saved overnight to be used the next day. Managers lie to staff to get what the company wants. Underage people are served from the bar during weddings. Building maintenance is a joke, water leaks from the ceiling onto food. Benefits have so many strings attached that most employees find out they aren't eligible months later
