Terrible pace of play

Didn’t Tee off til 20 minutes after my tee time and took 2.5 hours to finish the front nine. Didn’t even bother playing the back nine bc a 5 hour round is insane. Course is okay outside of the pace of play. Probably wouldn’t go back unless I have one of the morning tee times

Terrible

50 minute back up to tee off due to fog. 3+ hours to play 9 holes. No marshall, no one cares about pace of play.

It’s okay

One of the cheaper courses in the area but the pace of play was the worst I’ve ever seen. Didn’t tee off until 15 minutes after my tee time and it took almost 2.5 hours to finish 9 holes. I didn’t feel like playing a 5 hour round so I left after 9. I’d go back but only on an early morning tee time

Not worth it

Horribly slow pace and was insane. 3 hours and 50 minutes to play first nine holes. Back nine was a bit better so ended up with 6 hours 40 minutes. MLK day golf… there was a tournament there so every hole was backed up and literally it was waiting game. Only thing I liked was a green condition and it is good enough to give 4 stars.

6:20 Pace of Play!

Took 3:10 mins to play the front nine on a Sunday.

Did not finish the back because it got too dark, despite having a 12:30 tee time (with sunset at 530 pm).

Won’t be returning on a weekend or maybe ever until they switch to 10 min intervals.

Jamming the place too full ruins the what could otherwise be an ok course.
