Good course but needs to work on pace of play...

Played for the first time here. Live in the area but never played this course. Not sure if it was because of a Sunday but literally waited 15-20 mins on every tee box. We walked in after 14 as the round had been going on for 3.5 hrs which is absurd. The waiting around was too much and you could not get any rhythm to your game. We were there to see if it was worth doing a membership but based on this I will be looking to join elsewhere. Need to have marshalls on the course to keep the pace of play up.

Thank you for your review, Tom. We're sorry to see that you had a sub-par experience with us recently. It's encouraging to see, however, that you rated our staff friendliness and value 4 out of 5 stars! We hope to improve in the other areas and we hope you'll choose to play our course again in the future.

Pace

I would think they had overbooked as we waited 15 minutes on each hole - by the time when came to the next hole to play there were two groups who had yet to tee off. We only played 5 holes as we could not have finished the round before dark.

Well treed course

We played the 9 hole course twice as we were sent to the wrong tee at the beginning. No big deal - we enjoyed it. The course is not long, there are no water hazards but lots of nice trees. The greens were very fast.

Great local course!

We got a great deal from Golfnow. The course was in good condition. Only complaint would be some unrepaired ball marks on the greens and the massive number of ground hogs. Pace of play was excellent. Two of us finished 18 holes walking in a little over 3 hours.

We will definitely play again...especially at the for rate.

SLOW SLOW SLOW

FIVE AND A HALF HOURS!!!! This course was chock full of groups with umbrellas (although sunny), large brimmed hats and very colourful clothing. They have absolutely no regard to pace of play whatsoever. We talked to the pro shop who acknowledged the problem with these colourful groups but have yet to implement a fix. Last time golfing at Thames

Considering the amount of rain lately the course appeared to drain well...course is a little boring as goes up and back up and back, etc...but fairways large and leaves not a problem in the Fall...greens are tricky as everything slopes towards the river so rare to get a straight on putt....downhill putts are very challenging as a result....pretty course.

Nice layout.

Great golf course. Unfortunately the view of the river has been blocked by the growth of bush along the bank.

Ok for a city run course

The course isn't a difficult one, although the fairways can be challenging due to the many small hills and valleys of the natural terrain. Also some fairways have concrete protrusions here and there on the holes closer to the river. It was in good shape as to be expected from a city run course. Pace of play was very slow due to it being busy and some groups taking longer then necessary. Also, the Marshall didn't have much of a presence and did little to speed up the play of other groups even when called when there were three groups playing and waiting on the same hole unnecessarily...so no one allowed faster groups to play through As per normal golf rules.... As a side note dress code is non existent , so bring your jeans and T-shirts to play here... Needless to say I won't likely be visiting this course any time soon.
