Expect 5+ hour rounds

Interesting design and the greens were firm and and good shape. This course plays slow and there never seems to be any Marshals on this course and if they are there, there not maintaining pace of play. No beverage cart and no water on the course despite a 60 degree weekend day.

Great layout, fun to play

A great day at Bristow, unfortunately a slower than normal round since there was a frost delay, so the tee times were stacked pretty close. I would have given this review a higher rating, if not for the lack of any sand whatsoever in the bunkers. The clay was so hard, I just had to pull my ball out, not worth injuring your wrist.

Pace of play was worst part

The course put too many players in tight gaps. Took 3 holes in 1 hour pace...more wait than play itself...took 15 holes in almost 5 hours. Had to quit playing in the middle of 15th hole as it became too dark to play. The layout and couse condition are awsome.

Fix your Golf Carts

This is the first time all season that I have had a problem with a course golf cart.. not once but twice in the same round. The brakes froze up the first time so I had to walk back to the club house to get another cart on hole three. On hole 17 the cart accelerator didn’t operate properly so they had to bring out another cart. If they kept their carts working properly all this hassle could have been avoided….they should have refunded my round for all the inconvenience…

Great value

Bristow continues to challenge and delight golfers. The course was in great shape with greens rolling pure. The only thing I could pick at was the condition of the bunkers. They have mud instead of sand.

Mixed bag

Twosome, arrived 10 minutes before tee time and the starter seemed annoyed that we were "late." Was paired up with a single. Within 2 holes, we ran into a foursome who was playing EXTREMELY slow (2:30 front nine) and spent a lot of time looking for lost balls. I don't usually care about pace of play but this was bad, and there was no ranger to move them along. We hopped over them for the back nine and played it in exactly 2 hours. Oh the cart also died on the 5th hole and I had to call the clubhouse for assistance. The course is solid, not very forgiving, but my spouse (a novice golfer) seemed to enjoy it. Would recommend not spacing tee times 10 minutes apart UNLESS they plan to actually enforce pace.

Horrible pace of play, no refunds or rainchecks

I made it through four holes in an hour and a half. On the 5th hole, there was a four group back-up, with no marshal in site. I drove back to the clubhouse and asked for a raincheck or refund; I was told both were not within policy. They said the best they could do was let me tee off again from the first hole. This was my second time playing the course, the first round took five hours and thirty minutes due to similar backups.
