Slow play but a beautiful day

Had an afternoon open up and found a hot deal that was perfect. The course was wide open and the weather was great. The first 6 holes took less than an hour (my game was on!), but then...I caught the only golfers on the course. The next 3 holes took almost the same amount of time, and there was no way to play through because there were 4 groups ahead, all enjoying the day. Ugh. I left after 9 holes. Fun course, pace of play not so much.

Nice course, great price

Play the course often mainly because of the price. They keep the course in excellent shape especially considering the price. I’m in my seventies on a fixed income so I don’t like paying the prices at some of the so called high end courses and I feel like Suffolk compares to them in many ways.

Hey pro!!!! Fivesomes? 6 hour rounds

Course looks good and the amount of sod they are putting on bare spots and tees is going to pay off like the green revamp a decade ago.

Problem is that twice in the past month, we’ve had a tee time directly behind a fivesome. A fivesome that is not allowed according to their scorecard. Seeing them slam shots into the woods with 3 groups waiting with us on the 2nd tee was tough.

I called the pro shop and asked about the 5 some turning the 2nd tee Into a parking lot so he sent the starter out. Starter told them that the know it alls behind you think they can run a course better than we can called the pro shop and asked them to let us play through. I know one of the guys in the 5 some and he posted that on Facebook. Dude’s classy like that.

So pro, what’s up with this?

Unfriendly Staff

The front desk staff was unfriendly.

The course was wet after rains.

The layout was good.

I do not want to come back and do not recommend this place to anyone particularly because of the

attitude of the front desk staff.
