They care more about making money than your enjoyment of the course

Pace of play at this course is absolutely ridiculous. Started over 20 minutes after my tee time and the round took over five hours to finish only 16 hole. Wasn't able to finish my round because it too long. Didn't help that tees time are 9 minutes apart and they book fivesomes for every group. It's really a shame that it's that poorly managed because the actual course isn't bad.

Long Round Angry Marshall

Tee off before 6:30am or you’re shafted. The Marshall is a grumpy grumpy man. Otherwise it’s great value just get there early and avoid the the red jacket fella on hole 1. You won’t see a Marshall after that point.

Slow Play - Poor Service

Played this course on a Wednesday at 11:30 and the front nine took over 3 hours. 5.5 hours total. Unless you are a very casual golfer who shoots over 100, you will likely not enjoy a round at this course. We also had to rent clubs and they were very poor quality and completely caked in dirt and grass. Didn’t even bother spending 1 minute wiping them done before giving them to us. The layout and condition were not bad, but not good enough to make up for the rest.

Slow

They let unsigned groups in front so the whole day T times get delayed the whole day. We teed off 45 mins late and waited 5-7 mins every hole.

Value with time to waste

Friday midday round took five hours. The other people were extremely wonderful to play with. The staff were excellent. The condition was great. The greens were amazing for a public course; but very slow and often gaps in holes between groups that didn’t keep pace.
