Great course with nice features

Course was in great shape. Played in late afternoon so was not very busy. Fairly wide fairways allowed me to hit 11-14 fairways. Good for a 16 handicap. Always enjoy playing this course. Not a lot of water but enough to make it interesting. Will definitely play again.

Bad attitude

The members were playing a 3 man scramble with a simultaneous start and when we let the first group play through the superintendent threatened to make us leave the course. I'm all for fast play but if no one is waiting for you and the weather is awful why threaten to remove a group from the course with 4 holes and an hour left to meet pace of play rules in 25-35 mph wind?.

It's a shame to see such a poor review like this when every other review has been fantastic, even sighting the friendliness of the staff. Sometimes a course needs to issue warnings to a group when they hold up the entire course and are playing at well over a 4 hour pace. In my experience, groups like that never blame themselves, and always try to place the blame elsewhere. In the future I can only hope this group enjoys the private club atmosphere of Deer Park, and makes sure that everyone else playing that day can do the same thing.
