Palm Harbor Golf Club

Marshall on the course would be great and the greens need rolling or cut or both very slow.

Course was wet due to about 24 hrs of water but overall couse was in good condition.

The fairways have browned due to lack of watering. Greens were in ok shape.

Got to the 6th hole and gad 4some ahead of of the were so slow. Once we got to the 7th we were again being held up. We looked back and there 4 players waiting for us to clear and 4 more waiting behind them and 4 on the greens on the previous hole. We also notice the the next 2 tee boxes were empty. We did call the pro shop and Shannon had a Marshall come out and told the slow players they needed to speed up. They did a bit, but we still had to wait on the 9th. Once we got to the 10th the 4 slow players did have us play thru (thank goodness). At that point we never saw them again. For some reason this course has become very busy and with no Marshall out it becomes very painful to play a round. of golf. The snowbird are not here yet in full force so thing might just get a little dicey in a few weeks.

My wife and I play this course at least three times a week. It is usually in fairly decent shape but you never get a true assessment of your entire game because the greens are little longer and putt slower than the tee boxes and fairways at another course in the local area. There is almost never a course marshal so the course plays slower than the greens roll! On 23 October, we were on the 14 tee for about 10 minutes and it still wasn’t safe to hit, we waited another five minutes and quit since our round was at 3hrs 20 minutes after 13 holes. While we were on our way back to the clubhouse there were only three groups on the final five holes, one was a twosome. Lack of a course marshal is causing very slow play which has caused my wife and I to avoid the place in the future.

The course is starting to dry a bit much and the greens need to be rolled or trimmed as they do not roll very consistent. It was nice to see the Marshall out on the course. He actually stop and told us that he knew there was slow play in front of us and said he told them they need to pick up up the pace. Thank You for that.

No complaints on the course or conditions. Fun course and in great condition. What we couldn't get over was the rudeness of the attendant/starter. Accused us of being late, said we told him we were with a different group, we were not. Then accused my wife of being a liar. We were on time, he let the group out with the tee time after ours first, then became combative. Not our mistake. If I had not prepaid for my tee time, we would have left. Not the first time the staff there have been jerks.

Would be nice if there could be a Marshall on the course to keep,the pace of play moving!

We paid for 18 holes via GolfNow, but when we got to the course we were told that because the tee time was after 2:30 PM, we could play only 9 holes. When I showed the starter my email confirmation he acknowledged the error and indicated that GolfNow needs to be consistent with the course. After some discussion he agreed to allow us to play until 6:15 PM.

We managed to get only 16 holes in. We hope GolfNow will make it right for us. The starter was great and very understanding of our situation. He rescued what would have been a huge disappointment for us.

The golf golf course itself is excellent. Very well-maintained very well organized. However, I can say that they are not women friendly! My first experience I was a single golfer paired with another gentleman. Neither were familiar with the course and the markers are not well placed for holes number five and number 10. We did get a little lost ranger came up to us told us we should need to hurry because there was a men's league behind us. We never saw anyone behind us completed the round of 18 holes in less than three hours yet felt pressured. My second experience was even worse again I paired with a single gentleman and a nice very friendly couple a father and daughter-in-law. Our teatime was 918 however we could not tee off until 930 because of the two groups in front of us yet by hole 15 we were behind and the foursome behind us was complaining The Ranger came out told us we need to move up our pace because we were a behind by a hole. We Sped up finished our round under four hours and on the 18th green the foursome behind us started screaming at us telling us we took five hours it's about time and use profanity. I really don't think they welcome women at this course

This course is very pretty and well taken care of. It would be great to play on a truly new ce course, from tee to green but the greens are never cut to get a smooth roll, they are so bad, all the old folks that can’t pick their feet up when they walk, make the greens look just like the fringe. Pace of play is something this course cares little about. Slow play turns a nice golf course into a nightmare course and makes a golfer stay away!

They really need to put the Marshall out on the course. To keep the pace of play up! Behind 4 ladies on the front 9 and it was painful with the amount of time we had to wait with every shot. Thankful they quit after 9!
