teenagers loudly fishing on the course

There are a few bodies of water on the course that apparently have fish in them and there was a half dozen or so teenagers running around between fishing spots while loudly yelling obscenities at each other. They had no respect for the golfers who were obviously just a few yards away. That’s not to mention the atrocious pace of play - almost 3 hours on the front 9.

slow pace

Terrible pace of play. We quit after the 13th hole. There was no marshal on the course to remedy the problem. It would have taken 6 hours to complete the round.

Little slow

Had a nice group, fun, good conversation. Only my second time here, really enjoyed the first time. Second go around you really realized the quirkiness of the course. Some really off holes. Layout is very typical published muny. Lots of crossover type holes, size by side, lots of incoming! Haha

Might be better during the week? 5 hours with a bad back is just too much for me.

Could Have Been Better

Showed up for our tee time and a shotgun tournament was still on the course which made our tee off 30 minutes. They were completely out of carts. They should not have made tee times available to book when they knew a tournament would be on going. Greens were a little chewed up. Definitely could have been better.
