If you want to spend almost 6 hours golfing, this is the place for you. Went twice, once on a Saturday and once on a Sunday this month, both tee times before noon. Both rounds were 5 hours and 45 minutes.
Setting tee times every 9 minutes is ridiculous. I get trying to maximize $$/profit but my God, that's how you get six hour rounds and lose customers. I would pay more than the $80. You are already charging for a round. If it meant quicker rounds, and not having to wait on every single hole for every single shot.
If you were going to set times at every nine minutes, at least your starter and Rangers can go and enforce pace of play.
There was a woman two groups in front of us, as we were all bunched on the first tee for a 1012 am tee time and they were already running 25 minutes behind. The starter could see every shot and could see everybody's frustration when it took the woman eight shots to get up to the green. ( there are great women's legs out there, there are smaller courses, but please, if you're going to take a shots on every hole to get up to the green, please stay away)
The starter doesn't do anything about this, he needs to relay this to the Ranger to keep them moving. Maybe suggest teeing the ball in the fairway 100 yards out.
Or like on the 4th tee when the Ranger comes up to our group, any point out that all four people in the group in front of us are over in the right rough looking for one, yes ONE person's ball. Before the Ranger got to us we set a timer and it had already been 6 1/2 minutes that they were looking for his ball. We were yelling that it was lost and I just drop one. The Ranger just looked at us and said that he would say something but continued driving the other way.
It was like this on every hole. The group in front of us they would all go to one person's ball, one time, one of the drivers of the carts left the dude on the opposite side of the fairway without any clubs, so he had to drive all the way back. Multiple holes were they were spending 5+ minutes looking for balls.
It wasn't all their fault, as I just said the group in front of them had a woman that was probably scoring between 10-15 on every hole. When we got to the back nine on all but one hole the group behind us would always catch us and end up waiting. Three times the group behind them cut all of us and there were three groups of waiting on. Tees
It's a nice course, but like I said, it needs some sort of enforcement with peace of play. and maybe some nice suggestions to people that you appreciate them coming out, but they should probably go to a different course that better suits their game at the moment. read more
