Where did all the Marshal's go?

I understand that golf is a game of patience, but at some point enough is enough. Marshal's need to start enforcing pace of play. 18 holes shouldn't take over five hours. This is the third time this has happened to me at this course. Either they are over booked and stack the starts to close or there simply is no one making sure people aren't chasing balls for ten minutes or worse, acting like every shot requires PGA level considerations. This course would be much better served if the "players assistant" would actually do something more than drive around and make stupid comments.

Disappointed

I've been going to Lake Spanaway Golf Course for 30 years or more and this is the worst condition I've ever seen it in. The first green was just in terrible shape the second green wasn't much better third green the par 3 was just bad. It didn't get much better after that either

Worst I’ve ever seen

Aerated recently with no notification. Why before a holiday weekend is beyond me. Besides that issue, there was huge dead and dry areas on and just off the greens. Worst I’ve ever seen at this course. Suspect the staff were all pulled to work Chambers Bay all summer ahead of the women's amateur (same management co.). This could be a great course, but their management priorities lay elsewhere.

Was coming back from some heat related burn issues

Plenty of big trees lining the fairways, moderate condition throughout.

Doglegs through big trees

Need to be relatively straight here or your pitching out of the trees. It was in decent shape, lots of fir tree debris.

Excellent

Had a great 18 hole round, on an excellent course/day. The course was in great shape. I need to play here more because playing the same courses limit one's game. Staff were friendly and professional. Keep it up!

Great value for beginners

Great value for round of golf for a beginner. The course greens were the worst I have ever seen, so a mid handicapper or better would hate this course.

For $25.00 cart included, it is a great course and value for someone just starting out.

The tee box ground was hard. Took effort to put a tee in. A lot of the greens had bare patches. It's too early in the summer to see this especially after the wet spring we had. What happened?
