Pace of Play is horribly slow.

Would somebody please do something about how slow the Players are moving. Do you have any Marshall's that can do this? I am a frequent player at this course but am always waiting way more than should be allowed. This is making me hesitate use of this course in the future.

Slow play, ridiculously pins

Five hour round. Consistent with other reviews. My advice is to not pretend every golfer plays for AU. Several pins were cut on ledges you see in major USGA events. Stop cutting holes in ridiculous spots.

Why no starter or marshals?

I have nothing but good things to say about the course. But on a Saturday, with a full tee sheet and some slow players, this was one of the most frustrating rounds I’ve ever played.

Two foursomes went to the clubhouse for 15-20 minutes and then came back to #10, practically paralyzing the back nine.

Oh, and don’t forget the guy who insisted on taking two shots from the fairway with everyone backed up.

Fabulous course

Great course, friendly staff and great value.

We could have done with a Marshall as there was a very slow group holding up the whole course, otherwise a great experience. Definitely would play again and recommend to others.

OVERCROWDED

Unless you have all day stay away. Too slow, too many people, too many walkers, no range marshall to monitor pace, 6 1/2 hours, 10-20 minutes wait in between holes, 10-20 wait in between shots, when we made the turn at 9 we had 5 groups ahead of us another 45 minute wait. Mind you this is on a Tuesday midday.
