Crab grass
Too much crab grass on the tee boxes, need better maintenance. Usually isn’t that bad and the rough was really high grass.

Pace was too slow
Unfortunately there was a big group in front of us for a wedding golf party and the pace of play was incredibly slow. I dont want to be negative but it seems like they should have put some space between us and the party to make sure that the pace of play was normal. The conditions of the course were good and we enjoyed the round even though it made our round about 1.5 hours slower than normal.
