Forced to Leave after 9 by Starter because of 3:10 league

Title says it all. Got stuck behind an ego foursome (play tips and shouldn’t be). Still finished 9 in 2hrs on the nose. Told by Starter at 3pm we would not be able to finish our paid 18holes because of a league starting at 310pm. Never in 20+ years of golfing have I had that happen. What a joke

Kicked Off After 9 Due to League Play

The worst golf experience I’ve had in over 20+yrs of golfing. Made the turn in 2hrs on the nose,despite slow play from the group in front of us. We were asked to take a rain check for 9 due to league play beginning at 3pm. 45min drive to course and was not allowed to play 18,what an absolute joke. Don’t book 1pm tee times if that is how you’re going to treat paying customers. Course was in horrible condition. Greens and tee boxes were an absolute mess. Heard nothing but good things about this course and it was a huge let down. Would absolutely not recommend. So many better chooses in the area.

Slow Pace of Play

A decent course, that probably has a lot of fun to play, but certainly not fun when the pace of play is this slow. there was a marshal on the course doing absolutely nothing to speed up players. The group in front of me had two empty holes in front of them, and they refused to move forward.

Bring your “A” game!

You will use every club in your bag at this sporty course.

The greens will test your ability to read breaks.

My only ‘knock’ is that the cart paths badly need repair.

Traps were garbage

I feel bad giving a poor review but the conditions unfortunately warrant it. The course layout is very fun, more par 3's and 5's than usual with a lot of design variety between holes. Water, elevation changes, dog legs, blind shots are all used. The staff was great, very friendly and considerate. The drink cart made frequent rounds and the clubhouse was welcoming. My biggest issue was the traps, they were a disaster, looking like they hadn't been touched at all this season and maybe a good portion of last. I get the fact that we've had a lot of rain, but that's not an excuse for complete neglect. The only other issues was the greens were kind of beat up with unprepared or poorly repaired ball marks. This issue was more understandable due to the wet conditions. To sum things up, I'd still recommend the course, but the traps either need to completely renovated or be marked as ground under repair.
