Very difficult to play some holes from cart path only

Cart path only! And way too many people on the course! Had to wait on every shot and tee. Front nine was a little more than 2.5 hours. Left after nine!

Decent course. . Played a few expensive courses prior to this last one of the vacation. Good deal for the money.

Must have just reopened- cart path only and way too many people out there. Almost 2.5 hours to play 9 holes! I left after 9

Wow, took us just shy of 6 hours to play this course. While I understand that a Tournament went off ahead of us, this is still unacceptable. We finished our round in the dark after teeing off at 12:45. Should at the least give us a partial refund on golf now .

Course was in great shape. Over priced especially since there is no GPS on the carts. They ought to use 45 degrees on the fairways instead of cart path only this time of year. It would benefit the pace of play by speeding up pace of play.

The staff were friendly and we enjoyed the course layout even as they were preparing for over seeding. Pace of play was horrible. We waited every single hole and didn’t see one marshall. We felt like it was a golf ‘factory’ where they were getting as many green fees as possible regardless of how it affected quality or pace of play. Disappointing!

Our cart died and we walked almost 2 holes before a new cart arrived. Staff in the proshop gave a half way apology and not even a small refund. For the price one has to pay to play this course in an area of many top quality courses we found that quite disappointing.

Not too bad for a course that was definitely getting ready to go through their over seeding season. Would have been better value for a reduced fee though.

Terrible pace of play…. Not a single memorable hole. We even got a military discount and would really like my money back.

4 3/4 hours….just crazy. They would like to be a high end golf facility but it would take an act of hood for that to happen!

Rude employees. Not going back even if it was compt!

This course was really BEAUTIFUL. The staff was great, the course was in great shape, the weather was nice and hot, but the pace of play was terrible. Our tee time was 2:21PM and we could not play the last two holes because of darkness. Two groups ahead of us were very very slow and held everyone up. There is no need for that, if they can't keep up the pace, move them along, why make everyone else miserable.

We teed off 4 minutes early behind a twosome and by the 5th hole we were being told by a marshall to speed up. He showed back up on the 8th hole and yet again told us to speed up even though we were under two hours on the 8th hole. He wanted to argue about pace of play when the group behind us wasn't even teeing off yet. At the turn we grabbed hot dogs and drinks and the group behind us caught us on the 10th hole. We offered to let them play thru and they happily declined. On the 11th hole the same Marshall was waiting for us yet again and said he needs to have a conference with our group. 1 minute later a manager showed up with him to tell us pace of play on the front 9 was under 2 hours. According to him we should be an entire hole ahead and need to keep with the pace of the group in front of us. It didn't matter how many people are in front of us, we need to stay with that group. Even if we have 4 and they have 1 player. He finally admitted that pace of play was over 4 hours and we were 10 minutes behind. We finished our round in 4hr17mins. We never did speed up and were only 7 minutes off pace. We have over 50 years of golfing experience between the 3 of us in our group playing courses all over the world and have never been harassed by staff like we were on Monday. One of us was playing the best back 9s of his life and he had to tee off while the manager was arguing with us about pace of play. He wanted to argue on the green target than moving up to the next tee box or letting us go so we could actually speed up. Extreme lack of professionalism and we will not be back. Space out your tee times not then 10 minutes or group up twosomes.
