Pleasantly surprised by pace of play

I've always liked the layout and condition of this course but did not appreciate a 5-1/2 -6 (yes 6) hour round. Maybe due to T'giving week, but was able to get 9 holes in late in the day in just over 2 hours. Looks like some work is being done in the fairways so I won't ding for condition this time as I like to see improvements being made.

AM tee time

Nice course. Every hole had an aeration operation going on… they were pretty strict about staying on schedule with tee times. You get what you pay for…

fun course

Metropolitan is good course with lots of challenging holes that are not too difficult.

THe pace of play today was very bad but otherwise it was a great round of golf.

2.5 hour round

Was the first one out at 6am and played as a single… hence why I was able to play in 2.5 hours. But course is in great condition and offers a variety of approaches and tee shots!
