We didn't know we were signing up for a shotgun

At the course we found out were in a shotgun that took 5 hours. We definitely would not have paid the money and played had we know that!!

Very slow play, weighted on every hole and there needed to be a course advisor moving the play. Otherwise, an enjoyable day.

First Time Playing

A Fantastic Course that Gets Super Heavy Play

I played IMG for the first time and had a great time. Course is in fantastic shape, from tees to fairways, to bunkers, to greens. Greens ate fast & roll true. I enjoyed the layout. Plenty of trouble on many holes but the course also has a good number of "scoring holes" which mixes it up nicely. During the winter season this golf course is under tremendous playing pressure and out 4 hour and 45 minute round was proof of the alow pace of play. We did have to wait on most holes for greens to clear. Just too many golfers. Regardless of the fine playing conditions and wonderful pre round practice areas I will be waiting for the off season to playbit again. Staff were nice and cordial both in and out of the Peo shop. A well run golf course.

Pace of play needs work

There are no rangers, though the cart keeps telling you to speed up with no where to go. It would help to have a ranger have groups which have fallen behind to pick up their pace or skip a hole.

Better Pace

Course in good shape but pace of play especially with afternoon tee times continues to be a challenge and apparently not a priority for the staff.

very slow play with no ranger in sight. I don't know if they tried to fit too many people on the course or if pace was due to the large number of walkers
