Only go if you like waiting

Pace of play was horrible. Waited on every hole. Not good for my game! To be fair, there was some work being done on the front 9; so everybody started on the back. But, I've never seen them start on the back to better pace anyway. And, by the time we got to the first tee; they had let all these groups "jump" ahead of us. They should have been made to wait since we were making "the turn" and had priority. Ranger just drove around and didn't do anything to help. We will never-ever play this course again.

Besides that; the Par 3/two Par 4 course was well maintained. Good for the short game. Staff was not overly concerned about a infrequent guests to their club - I had to ask questions, nothing was offered.

In short; too big of a price for short course.

Hello, Anne. Thank you for taking the time to review our course. We appreciate all the feedback. We regret to hear that your experience was less than desirable. Pace of play is one of the key factors to having an enjoyable round. We understand that having to wait on every hole can throw off your groove and make for an overall bad round. Thank you for rating our course conditions and layout. We hope that you come out again for a far better experience!

This course is basically a par three

Greens and fairways well kept and in great condition. Narrow fairways with plenty of water makes it somewhat challenging. However since most holes are par three you have to wait till the greens are clear for any shot.

Slow play

Nice course well kept nice people but slow slow pace too 2.5 hours to play front 9. # 6 hole 5 cars waiting to tee off we waited for at least 20 minutes on that hole. They have rangers but never saw them, played next day same results will probably never play again because of that hope they take care of problem

They had obviously over booked their tee off times. There were 4 foresomes waiting to tee off at # 1. We normally play this course in a little over 3 hours. We quit after 15 holes & 4 1/2 hours. Somewhat frustrating and disappointing. Never saw a marshall to express any comments to. The course is still in good condition. We have played there several times a year for the past 10.

Loved the challenge

We had an excellent experience on this course. We are mediocre golfers and really enjoyed the course. There were some real challenges. Lots of water and bunkers. We will definitely go back again.

Ok so you know what type of course this is already. However, if you want a nice relaxing round of golf with great holes, great scenery and doesn't kill your back and won't take you 4+ hrs to play then this is a great course for the day. This will be added to one of my regular courses just to still play but also to enjoy it and relax. Great play!!!

Short but nice...

We played the first time here. The course is in good condition. An an executive course (no Par 5) it is not for Longhitters (3200y from the back tees). Friendly for Ladies. Some of the Par 4 holes can be reached in one. But it's not an easy course at all. You have to be precise. Lots of water hazards and also a few "blind" holes. We loved it as a training round and we sure come back.

This is a very nice Par 60 course. It is in excellent condition and the greens are challenging but true. There are a couple of blind tee shots that make it very interesting. I had a lot of fun playing this course.

Extremely Slow

I booked a 9:22 tee time and because of slow groups ahead didn't tee off until 9:40. After an hour and only have played four holes I left the course. I saw a Marshall twice and nothing was done to speed up the extremely slow pace of the groups ahead. Kings Gate is a par three/executive course and at the pace of play it would have been a five hour round.
