Cardinal Golf Club - East

Course was good overall, very dry and hard in many places but greens were very good.

There was a group of 8 teenagers in front of us who had no respect for the golf course. I asked the Marshalls to keep and eye on them before the round started and make sure they played as 2 foursomes so we didn't have to wait on 8 people to putt on the greens. They also bumped back our tee time by 15 mins to accommodate these kids. The kids proceeded to screw around the whole round, hanging off the back of their carts, chasing and racing each other, chipping balls at each other on the green and were using beer cans as tees while playing as one group of 8 the whole round. By the 12th hole were were over half an hour behind pace of play.

I complained to the pro shop after the round but there was no manager working at the time so they were unable to process a refund or a "raincheck" because I booked through golfnow. They took my number and promised to call me back the next day to sort it out, but that never happened.

Played the East Wing and the back nine was terribly waterly. They were not really playable and walkable as all the fairways were fully soaked with water. Cartpath only meant one has to walk to and back from the balls every time and no fun at all. This drainage problem had been an issue for years and no improvement. Avoid this course after rain and so is the West Wing.

We have a tee time of 12:06pm and planned to complete game by 4:15pm! However that took us 5 hours 15 minutes to finish the game due to extreme slow play. At hole 10, the new foursome show up nowhere in front of us. Extreme slow play told Marshell (club staff) but no improvements.

Can’t complete game cos rain storm!!!

Marshalls/Staff were quite hard about waivers for carts and signing in and giving my buddies who showed up just a few minutes later than me (and well ahead of our tee time) crap for not all checking in together. Then the pace of play was horrendous, no marshals enforcing pace of play, over 30 minutes slower with only 3somes and 2somes ahead. Not to mention a tee-time 30 minutes before ours was told to tee of at our tee time and cramping the course further

We played on a Friday afternoon and it took 5.5 hours with multiple foursomes backed up on the tees all afternoon. The marshal was no help and rude the entire day. Stay away.

Very backed up

Got soaked by sprinklers

Sprinklers came on during play due to a malfunction causing us to be unable to tee off from the T boxes

Waited with two other groups on hole 12 well we watched another group tee off because of the back up
