Mill Pond Golf Course

Course is great layout, well kept, cut well, greens nice.

That being said pace of play has been an issue the three times I’ve played. Couldn’t tee off at 1 on time, we a 22 min backup off the first tee box. Every par three they’re a min of 3 groups waiting. Ranger says nothing about it, no one regulating the first tee, so no one regulating that rest of the course. Ran out of light at the 17th, which if we had the extra 22 min we would be able to finish. I think if you tee off prior to 2 pm you should be able to finish 18.

If you can manage to get out there without many other groups, I’d go for it, otherwise stay away. You’re looking at a 5-6 hr round min.

Mill Pond is a very nice course that I’ve played frequently this year. It’s been in very good condition all year. Two comments -the pace of play was not good at all. We waited on every hole and played in 4:35. There was a group that had two holes open in front of them. The course ranger was out but was completely ineffective at getting them to pick up the pace. The course uses 8 minute tee times but starting 90 minutes after the first group shouldn’t take that long. Suggest 9 or 10 minutes gaps or skip a group every hour. On conditioning the sand traps have far too many large rocks that damage clubs. This needs to be addressed.

5 1/2 hour round put to many players on the cause or no ranger to get the pace moving.

The pace of play was slow on the front, no ranger in sight but improved on the back. The ranger should be more proactive for the money they charge. It was actually much better than previous rounds in which it moved at a glacial pace.

Great course, it’s just overbooked. Money isn’t everything

Teed off 20min late. Pace is slow. Afternoon round. Wait was 10min at every t box. Ended up doing 1-9 2x. Took 2.5hrs to do 7 holes. Did second 1-9 in 1.5hrs . Ranger needs to do his job. Guy in front of us was hitting 2 t shots on every hole.

Great round personally. Unfortunately they were not very diligent with their carts. Our cart died on 6 and got a replacement then that one died on 14. Really damaged the pace of our game.

I know a weekend afternoon is going to be slow but the day started late as the course had no carts causing us to go off late. The course layout leads to three group backups on a couple of holes. Greens are in very good shape but there are so many ball marks you can have one knock putts off line. Fairways have great coverage but are shaggy. Rocks in bunkers. Marshall was dismissive of our comment about slow play yet did nothing when groups in front of us split into two twosomes. We made the turn at 4:30 but the turn F&B was closed and the beverage cart person had gone home. Not sure why the 13th hole is always cart path only. At least the great weather helped make up for it.

Course was in very good condition. Putting greens were ideal. Links course fun to play!
