Super slow Sunday afternoon

I love this little course but made the mistake if booking 2pm on Sunday. Each tee box was 2-3 groups deep until someone called the pro shop. There was a family with young boys that were not supposed to be playing and these kids were taking multiple shots. The next group in front of us had no course etiquette. They were taking videos, pictures. Multiple shots, looking for balls while we stood there waiting on every tee box. I have several times been with or behind total beginners and this course should at least give a mini education on pace of play etc especially if someone is new. Seems like there is a lot of chaos on busy weekends with no starter either.

Where was the marshal?

We played the 1st hole, only to find that there was a foursome and a threesome on the 2nd tee box that couldn't tee off because of players on the 2nd green. There were 6 kids all playing, not picking up and goofing around, so there was 11 of us stacked up. I called the pro shop to complain and the girl said, they had walkers with the 4 some. I said, 11 of us can see the walkers playing and you have three groups backed up. The girl got an attitude with me and said they would send a starter out (who we waited for 8 minutes to tee off the 1st hole and never showed up). I guess someone got to the kids as it finally eased up.

PRACTICE NETS next to the practice putting green would be great!

No warm up facilities at all. Bad. Its a lovely course - but you warm up during the first 3-5 holes of the 9. This needs to be improved.

Just under 3 Hours for 9 holes on a slow Sunday afternoon, but who cares?

A fine 9-hole course

No warm-up facilities at all. No nets. Silly little flat practice green. Not good.

But the course is a fine 9-holes. Plenty of challenges.
