Love the course but weird start this round

Great time at the course although we started on a rough note with the worker yelling at us to move faster on hole one and even chasing us down by a golf cart RIGHT after teeing off (when the group in front of us started 5 min after our tee time and was still around the green on hole one.

Slow play

Always backed up so be prepared for sitting at each tee box for 10 minutes. 3 hours for 9 holes is not out of question.

Course review

Great layout to this course is great. (fun) Course conditions has not been good this year. The greens have been good. The fairway grass is in very poor shape.The cutting of fairways and the layers to the rough is very poor. There is no outdoor space or indoor space to meet friends and maybe have a beer with after the round. It would be nice to have some tables, chairs , umbrellas and grilling of food. Would make for a much nicer environment.

Terribly slow

It was overbooked or something. Left after playing 7 because it had taken 3 hours to do those. Insanely slow. Staff was rude and didn’t care. I have played in the peak of summer and never that slow.
