Overbooked

Not sure what happened today but tee times were definitely messed up. There was a delay due to fog but it wouldn’t have backed up the course like it did. Never had this issue before with this course. Golf now didn’t match their tee times. Waited on every hole and only was able to play 9 holes due to the time and other commitments.

PACE OF PLAY

We booked for 1:53 tee off, 3 of us. There were no carts available and upon returns of finishing golfers, they would give you there cart. We asked if there was a Marshall/Ranger working and the staff said te and said they were on time and we would get our round in. We were 25 minutes late due to the incoming carts and the amount of people waiting to tee off. During play we waited up to 10 minutes between holes. We didn’t get our round in and wasn’t happy when were told there was a Marshall on the course and for the 14 holes we played due to darkeness, 6:30 EStT, we never seen a Marshall

Overbooked - 5+ hour round

Knew we were in for a long day when I saw the line of carts at first hole. 104pm tee time equaled 140pm start. Waited on every hole. Finished in the dark at 640 pm. Greens were decent and fareways were okay but... 5 hours and 10 minutes equals too much time. Trash cans were overflowing, bathrooms were fairly clean. Expected better.

Slow play course

I have done a few reviews on the course before. Most of the times before my reviews have been favorable, not this time.

If you do not have a ranger to push people along after over booking to the point you run out of carts, you then have a recipe for poor management.

Then you send out the brains of the outfit CJ or AJ to come out to the 17th hole and tells my group that we must be playing slow, because the green is open, what a joke.

Over booked

The layout is great, condition was okay. The greens were pretty beat up but rolled good. The pace of play is ridiculously slow. Minimum of 3 groups on every tee. There is a ranger but I am not sure why. He’s definitely not doing his job.

Good overall. Course oversold. Slow on front, especially first 5 holes. Pace picked up on back. Good price for Tampa area in winter.
