2:49 to play 9 holes.

Hello,

We has a 10:56 tee time teed off at 11:05, waited on every hole and every shot. Finished in 2:49. Very poor pace of play, ranger did nothing to speed it up.

Thanks.

Fine nine

A nice challenge for average and good golfers alike. Might be a little long if you're introducing youngsters to the game. In that case, play best ball, They might putt better than you do.

Slow pace

Park district course with a wide variety of player skill level. 8 minutes tee time spread, they should make it 10 minutes. On this of play it was painfully slow, just over 2 1/2 hours.

JUST GO PLAY THERE!

Fun and challenging 9 holes. Kind of a hidden gem. Tees, fairways, traps all in good shape. Some long par 4 holes. Suggest playing the white tees unless you are really good.
