Elephant Noises

Played 18 holes and the cart sounded like it was about to explode. Pace was ok although the group behind us hit over my head on a par three. They saw us walk off the green and the ball landed 15 feet away. Stop drop and roll for me and my partner. Greens were a mixture of deer tracks and goose turds. Fairways were well groomed and tbixes were bombing ranges. I am not sure what bleached sand cost but the bunkers are a mixture of red clay and rock. A load of bleached sand would be appreciated.

If you like to play in 5:10, you’ll love Heron Bay

I’ve played Heron Bay a bunch back in the Cannongate days. It is a fun track. Usually plays shorter than the card because of the firm fairways. Based on course conditions, I would be happy to go back, but the pace of play will keep me from returning. Me and a friend had a 10:36 tee time. Literally max of 40 cars in the parking lot when I got there and only 3 people on the range. Got to first tee box at 10:32. No starter and a foursome had just put their first tee in the ground. It was a slow grid from there. No marshalls to move things along. No courtesy by the groups ahead. On 13 tee, a twosome pulled up behind us while we where waiting for the green to clear. Their tee time was at 11:46!! We joined with them, but still waited on every shot. Overall, it was an excruciatingly miserable experience.

Wish it were closer.

Really like this course. Only my second time here. Layout is fairly open, and not too difficult. The folks at the clubhouse are terrific! I live in Lawrenceville, a little too far for weekly play, but I"ll be back.
