Skylinks needs to sort out the slow play

This is a decent track, quite challenging on some holes with lots of bunkers protecting the greens and a lot of tree-lined fairways waiting to punish the errant driver.

However they need to seriously tighten up the management of play. I teed off with my wife at 10.20am on what I thought was a quietish tuesday (no one behind me for the first 5 holes) but did not get off the course until 3.40pm!! As soon as we hit the 6th hole pace of play ground to a halt with an extremely slow 3 ball in front of us and an even slower 4 ball in front of them. 5 HOURS 20 MINS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE - WHY DON"T THEY HAVE A MARSHAL OUT MONITORING PACE OF PLAY? Come on, it's not that difficult to do. This nonsense is what is killing the game of golf in the USA. Waiting 15 - 20 mins at some of the holes on the back nine destroyed what started off as an enjoyable round. By the time we made it to the 13th hole there were another 3 four balls right behind us all waiting waiting waiting...enough to drive anyone nuts. Come on skylinks, sort out the pace of play and I'll recommend your course to others. Until then, I would avoid.

I Love Skylinks!

This is a great course. Love the way it is maintained. We got really lucky & went out right after back to back shotguns. We didn't hit the group in front of us until hole 16. Never saw a group behind us the entire time. AMAZING!!!
The food is good & the staff is great!

Wide open course

I played super twilight after 6pm and was able to get in 11 holes because of the fast play. The course is well kept and wide open. There are many well-placed sand traps but it is pretty easy to stay out of trouble.
Great prices too!

Excellent course but...

I stopped at 12th hole because had already spent 4 hours on the course and waiting such a long time before each shot was not fun anymore. The course is excellent yet, with really nice design and fast greens...

Avoid weekday twilight

I like this course. Very wide and easier than most golf course. But yesterday I've met VERY rude local people behind our group. They were up 2 spots after us. One of our buddy didn't show up so we let one group behind us go. When we were ready to tee up, the group behind us insisted that we wait after them. One guy even stood in white tee while we were ready to hit from blue. I've never met such low-life and rude people on a golf course. I will never go there during off-peak time where those ignorant local old-pops usually play.

Hello, I wanted to follow up with you on the comment you made regarding the players behind your group that were rude so I can try and resolve the issue and make sure this does not happen again. Can you please give me a call when you get a moment? I look forward to speaking with you soon. Thank you Gary - 562-421-3388 Ext. 2

Walked

Don't Tell Anyone

7:24 am Friday Tee time. Me and my buddy paired up with another twosome who were also walking. Beautiful day. The course was well maintained and fun to play. Greens in fine shape. Pace of play was perfect. No one ahead of us and no one behind us. We tee'd off on time and were done by 11:40. Will definitely play here again. As soon as I can.

Long Windy Sunday

It was a windy Sunday round and we got to know the group in front of us as well as the group behind us since we were all on the same tee boxes throughout the day. Overall it wasn't too bad but I definitely prefer a quicker pace of play.

Not for beginners

Another wide open course, if your wide you got to deal with trees. The grass is different so be careful with your wedge shots. And also the greens are big. But if your riding the carts have gps. Very helpul.
