Suffolk Golf Course

First, I want to start that I rate the course with two different reviews.

Course: I’d give 5 stars due to the greens and the scenery. Good cart path. Lots of leaves but due to the fall it makes sense. Lots of woods.

Pro shop: everyone was super nice. Great breakfast and the woman making the food was lovely.

************* HOWEVER ************

Here is why I am writing this review.

Myself along with two other friends played 18 holes Saturday with a 930 tee time. Not sure if this came into play, but we are all young females. We had a group behind us, and after we tee’d off we drove down to our balls to continue. Mind you as this was the first hole we were not warmed up and were practicing our swing a bit before hitting. As I go to hit the ball the group behind us *yells* “let’s go!” Not only was this COMPLETELY inappropriate in general but also to the fact we were on the course and as I hit. What happened to course etiquette?!

** and the Marshall who was right next to this group allowed this?! The players were able to continue to play with this behavior?! Completely unprofessional. Rude. Mind the fact we had a group in front of us as well. We can only go as fast as the group clears in front of us. If there was an issue on our timing, please use some etiquette and manners to have the Marshall handle the situation. At the next hole we confronted the group to let them know how rude it was but to allow them to play ahead to not feel bullied through the game we all equally payed for, regardless of membership status or not.

As we played this group of four older men continued ahead of us and we played at about the same speed. Therefore they were not any more fast than we were nor were they able to get ahead far enough that if we were ahead the timing would have been any different.

The manners and how people were raised cannot be changed but the Marshall who was RIGHT NEXT to this group should have stepped in.

I think it is important to not only address this to the course but to inform other golfers that the Marshall here apparently will not step in to combat an incredibly rude situation and handle it as it should be handled. Can I confirm something was said to these players? No. Were these players able to continue play and to possible bully other golfers? Yes.

As usual, the course was crowded mostly with senior golfers who, without exaggeration, moved at snail's pace. Some of them could barely walk.

Really deplorable is that, also as usual, none of them ever asked me whether I would like to pass them.

Their golf skills were just as good as their golf manner.

Good day for golf. Course is in good shape. Challenging for senior, mid handicapper. It was Tuesday and not very busy so we had a good pace of play. Greens were well filled out and a tad faster than average. Very enjoyable golf day.

The fairways looked much better. Looks like they grew them out and so it wasn’t dusty this time. The greens looks great.

We have not played this course for quite some and decided to play there based on current reviews! We were apprehensive thinking the reviews may have been slanted.... for the most part the course was in very good condition! Fairways were in good condition, the greens were in great condition and were quicker than most of the courses we've been playing! The tee boxes need work and on some holes we were glad we were not in the sand trap because they either had water or mud in them! Overall, I was impressed and would play there again!!

This was my first time ever at this course but definitely won’t be my last. Great layout and nice greens.

I got paired with a great group and the course was in great shape! Needs a cart for snacks though.

Interesting lay out with mature trees lining nearly every fairway. Lots of different shots and a few elevation changes to deal with. 18 with a mandatory water carry on the second (third?) shot is a wonderful finishing hole.

First time playing here and it’s the best city run course I have played. Everything was above expectations. Will definitely play again.
