Slow Play

On this day it took over 5 hours to play 18 holes. The twosome in front of us were taking a long time to make their second shots but also were playing from tees boxes that were outside of their skill level for that particular day. There were no marshals or starter to help keep things moving and by hole # 10 the round was no longer enjoyable.

Some of the tees boxes were in poor condition. That is one of my wife’s biggest critiques. She feels that many golf courses neglect the forward tees.

Overall, we enjoy playing the course. I think that a course marshal needed to keep things moving along. Maybe send players off 10th tee when the first tee is congested. There were a lot of twosomes on that day and no one was pairing twosomes into foursomes.

Easy to get to. Great course layout! Course is well maintained. Greens were even without blemishes! Definitely recommend it. Pro Shop support is lacking. Not customer friendly. Restaurant is great as well. Good food and made quickly.

Poor Optics of Customer Service from a Black Man’s Perspective

Last time I’ll play this course...for the second time in a row the I’ let with a bad impression of the guy working the counter...I was told that my group would have to double up in golf carts although I observed. groups in front and behind me in their own carts....this happened the last I played there as well. I also asked for range balls but was told that the range was closed for cutting...when I asked when the range would open his response was a terse “when they’re done cutting “. About 5 minutes later as I was putting I observed a guy go directly to the range....I also noticed that the guy who was putting along side of me and was there before me had a bucket of balls and was waiting for the range to open. As I said I won’t be going back

Thank you for your review! We apologize that you didn’t enjoy your experience with us. We’re sorry that our range was closed when you checked in, but our staff did alert you it would open shortly and that you could check back in with the pro shop before your round. Regarding the cart situation, we recommend to all our golfers that they double up on carts, but once they leave the pro shop we have no control over what they choose to do. Lastly, we understand how the optics may have looked from your perspective, but we celebrate diversity in all forms here at Bristow Manor and we certainly never want our golfers to feel that we are being discriminatory in any way. We would be more than willing to discuss your experience further by email or telephone. Please reach out to our Head Golf Professional, John Jasper, at jjasper@bristowmanorgc.com at your convenience. Thanks again and we look forward to speaking with you.

3 Hour Front Nine

It took three hours to play the front nine, likely because the course accepted tee times while hosting a tournament.

Slow

Very very slow. 5.5 hours, 3 on the front 9. They were having a tournament in the afternoon so the marshal was telling us to play faster. We were literally waiting 10 minutes before every tee shot. Then a Marshall was parked beside us in the fairway while we were obviously waiting for the group in front to clear the fairway. Super annoying.

Disappointed with Pro shop Staff

Although I enjoy playing this course this is the last time that I will play there. The optics from a Black Man's perspective is poor. For the second and last time I was disappointed with the customer service from the guy behind the counter. For the second time I was told that I would have to "double up" on my cart....I noticed that there was a group of four in front of me all with their own carts and there was a threesome behind me all with there own carts. Additionally, when I asked for range balls I was told that the range was closed for cutting....when I asked when the range would open the guy told me "when they were done cutting".....he even acknowledged that that was a poor answer. As I was putting I noticed that the guy who checked in behind me about 5 minutes later got range balls and went directly to the range. As I stated, the optics from the perspective of a Black Man was very discouraging for the second time in a row and I won't be playing this course again.

Great course, highly recommend

Aerated greens and could only play front nine, but front nine fairways in immaculate condition , great pace of play, and good value despite only playing nine twice. Like the front nine better anyway.

Where is the Marshall?

This is a very nice course. It has excellent design and challenging character. However, there is a great need for Course Marshals to improve the Pace of Play. The round is diminished by waiting on every tee shot and approach shot.

It could have been better

I enjoy this course but I wish I had known they were going to close the front nine. They also didn't have any balls to hit at the range. Otherwise, I enjoyed playing the back nine twice.
