Poor Pace of Play

I thought that playing 9 on a Thursday afternoon would be great escape for a couple of hours. Wrong. 4 young men holding everything up. Hitting multiple shots each one worse than the previous and they had to play from the tips. No ranger in sight to keep things moving. I was stuck behind this group until I gave up and left.

Prairie Isle is a very solid course.

The course is already in awesome condition for early spring. One of the better layouts and truest rolling greens in the area.
