First Time Playing

Decent course but terrible pace

First time here, conditions were fair..little damp but that’s due to weather. Tee’d off around 1130 and literally waited on line to tee off on holes 8-10. There was a group of 7 and another of 6 backing everyone up. Multiple groups including mine left before playing all 18. Decent place, but that was absurd.

No ranger

The best thing know which golf course could do to make it a better experience is to have a ranger on the course to keep people from ball hawking and looking for balls 20 minutes every hole a lot of people don't play golf because the five six hour rounds it takes to play they need to keep people moving and have them keep up with the group in front of them without a ranger that is impossible

Awful pace

Overall I enjoy this course and play it often, however lately the pace of play has been extremely bad. I've had multiple rounds over 4.5 hours. Today I started at 345 and finished at 9, struggling to see our drives on the last 3 holes. We saw a group of 8 people teeing off at one point. Needs more active rangers to keep pace up.

Maddening pace of place

I understand the Covid golf Craze that is happening. But this is ridiculous !

There is NO Marshell out on the course leaving You high and dry with patrons who DO NOT belong on a course like this.

A group of hackers with 3 holes open in front of them, held the entire course hostage.

We had to call it QUITS after 14 holes, for fear I would take my own life if I had to wait another 20 minutes before I hit my next shot.

Management HAS to get this under control!

Unfathomably Slow

I’ve never seen a slower course in my life. It took us 3+ hours to play 9.

I paid for 18 and bowed out after 9, that’s how bad it was. I told the rangers what a joke it was and they said “that’s how it is”. Unbearable.
