SLOW, SLOW, SLOW!!

Second slowest round of golf in my life. 5 hours 10 minutes. Would have been even longer if the group ahead of us hadn't quit the last two holes Had to wait EVERY tee and fairway shot. Clubhouse attendant didn't care at all. Only response was "Well it was only 55 minutes longer than normal".

Have played many times before never again.

Super Slow Play

This is the fourth time I've golfed this course - but never again. Our round took 5 hours and 10 minutes. It would have been an even longer but the slow people in front of us quit after the 16th hole. I asked the golf pro there why there wasn't a course ranger moving the course of play along, but he said there wasn't a course ranger. We waited on every shot once we hit the backlog after the first hole. It was ridiculous. All the years I've golfed (45+) this was the second slowest round of golf I've ever played. When it happened the first time,, the golf pro there offered us a free round of golf for our troubles. I asked the golf pro at Lake Jovita if he would do the same, and he said "that isn't going to happen." He offered nothing else either. The slow pace of play took a lot of the fun out of the round. This is too bad because the golf course itself is great, but waiting on every shot makes it a course to avoid.

South COURSE

The course was in great shape. The greens were in excellent shape, running quite fast and true. The weather was perfect, 70 degrees with barely any wind to contend with. Altogether, a great day to be out playing golf on a great course.

Overpriced

The starter was good and friendly. The pro shop employee doesn't seem to enjoy his job. Holes 8, 9, 10 and 11 on the north couase have bad layouts. No ball washers on the course. Tee box markers weren't put out on certain holes.

We love this course but today.......

Normally a great experience but on the day we played there were several 5somes. The group of 5 in front of us was slow and made the round less enjoyable.

I cant say as to if the course allowed this or if they grouped up after tee off but there was no ranger to break it up.

Great couse

As always the course is absolutely amazing, as always. It is always in great condition tee to green.

My only small complaint is when playing the

North course you "turn" in middle of no where. Teeing off at 1220, planed on grabbing something to eat halfway. The cart employee had nothing to eat , Lie a hot dog /sandwich something like that.

Innisbrook for example the cart staff has food to purchase from her . Maybe send her with some food ?
