Windy weather
Used cart

Unusually fast round

It was breezy with a 3:40 pm tee time but I've never played a faster round on this course. We completed the round in under 4 hours!!

too slow

I expect the pace of play to be a bit slower during the weekend, but this was ridiculous - 16 holes in 5 hours!! When asked, the starter said that we were a bit behind on tee times. It turns out that the group that booked 4 tee times from 2:00 to 2:30 was allowed to send off 6 groups at the expense of everyone behind them! They even let the first group of the 6 to tee off with 5 player, which is normally strictly forbidden. The 5some could not keep up, falling 2 holes behind. The worst part was that the groups behind them couldn't keep up either - the 6 groups often were so spread out that they often were on 4 separate holes. I would expect to be able to play 18 holes when i tee off 5 hours before sunset, but because the course slipped in 2 extra slow 4somes,we were only able to play 16 holes before it got dark! I'm not playing there ever again
