Tee box in horrible conditions

I’ve played here on many occasions. This is the worset I’ve seen the tee box. We were told to quit and bring in the cart even though we had plenty of light for two more holes. Not cool when we paid extra for the carts. My boss and family were disappointed that we had to cut our rounds short.

Pace of play not regulated

I love all the clubhouse,pro shop,and range improvements. I had not.golfed here since it changed from St Marks to " the Links.

Love the decor, staff is friendly.

Improvement needed on the condition of the greens. And some holes on the back 9 are in pretty poor shape.

The day would have been so much better if there was not a complete back up on the course. At the 2.5 hour mark, we only made it to the eighth hole, and.were 22 minutes behind pace of play according the the cart. I counted eight golf carts visually with in a 1/4 mile from each other. My friend called the pro shop to see if a marshall could.come create some relief. The person who answered said " its just a busy day on the course, there is not a marshall that will come." No concern what so ever. The wait became so ridiciuous and we were.losing daylight that we decided to quit on hole 15. Not ideal or a great experience. Perhaps a marshall would eliminate any future frustrating days of play on the course.

Fun par 3 course

Overall the course was in great condition but wet in some spots. Nice to have a par 3 course with some challenging par 4 holes.

Not worth the money

I have seen this course when it was in its prime. However, in the last few years it has gone downhill. Fairways are no longer taken care of along with the tee boxes and greens. What a disappointment to see the condition of this course. Not worth the money to play!!!

Used cart

Pace of play was abominable.

The "pace of play" was extremely slow. At one point four groups were backed up at the tee. I actually quit after nine because I refused to play at a more than a five hour pace of play. It was impossible to enjoy the round when one had to wait at length between shots. Pace of play does not describe the condition because there was no PACE to the play.
