I play here a lot.

Biggest issue is speed of play. Some days there are no delays per hole and on other days we have had to wait at every tee box.

We were chastised today by the manager for slow play just as we completed play on holes 10-18 in 2 hours!! What could we have done wrong? Makes no sense at all. We were stunned!!

Rarely do you see a ranger and too often slow play is ignored unless there is a complaint.

The rangers of a few years ago did a better job of monitoring play, illegal location of carts, etc.

There used to be clocks on the course to manage the flow. What happened to them?

Nice challenging course

Course was in very good conditions. Most holes are straight out, so that limits the decisions on how to play the hole. Greens were in good condition too.

Challenging golf course and we’ll maintained

The bunkers could be given more attention, new sand added and groomed.

Need more rangers on the course to make sure the pace of a round is increased. The few rangers they have on the course need to be firm in enforcing a faster pace for the round. Slow pace would be my biggest complaint about Byrne.

Solid Course with sub-par amenities

I play this course all the time and over the years the renovations and upgrades that have been made to the course are great. Course is in decent shape most of the time (although currently the 7th green is under repair) and it's a good test of golf. Why they don't sell beer or have any kind of real food service is a problem that should be rectified.
