Douglaston Golf Club

Everytime there was the group who didn't care about the pace of the play. It doesn't matter whether they are biggnner or not. But they must learn to play fast as their first lesson. Some people did practice swing 5-6 times in the course even though next team is waiting.

Need to advise them to play fast in consideration of other people's valuable time.

Thanks.

Not all that bad. The pace is shears going to b slower when you have a par 64? Bc of the back to back par 3's, but I was impress with the improved condition of the course. Greens were super slow which was like putting on carpet which was disappointing but the overall conditions were B-B+ & for a nyc course that is great. The tee boxes are less to be desired for if there was grass it was too long. The starter did tell me to go solo (the 3 others didn't show up on time), but I told him that I'm going to be waiting anyway so I'll wait & that he should never let a single out on a short course like this. That goes for all nyc clubs... DONT LET SINGLES & EVEN DOUBLES OUT! Every group should be 3-4 people bc that's what causes the slowdown, especially on these shorter nyc courses. The same goes for Forest Park, Kissena & Van Cortland. If the starters did thus & told players to fix their marks on the greens you would be educating players about how the game SHOULD be played.

Need to expedite the pace of play. Some gruop are very slow.

Hadn't played pre-Covid. A novice but a course you can learn on. Hilly& the old agage of just hit it straight.

Very slow play. Atypical 5 hour 30 min round with no course ranger.

Course was in very good shape. Having cut my teeth here 40+ years ago, she still offers a challenge
