First Time Playing

Course conditions are lacking

First time playing and first one out! Twosome and we finished with in 3 hours because we move to a different back nine that was completely empty. They wanted us to play behind 4 groups causing us to wait. Double booking and forcing players to wait around to play the back side of their round is horrible. The second nine hand horrible conditions, but we managed to make due.

Jones course

The front nine of Jones was fine. The back nine needs work. Cart guys and organization of carts needs improvement. Can’t drive anywhere without it being time to tee off. Far walk to range and putting green

Sea Trail Newbie

Very good course conditions; clearly more hurricane Ian cleanup needed. Greens rolled true; fairways and tee boxes in good condition. Although we weee a two-some, behind a foursome the play of play was a bit slower than needed. Group in front off us was not keeping up with the group in front of them. All and all, a good day.

Excruciating 3:30 hour front nine. Gracious starter moved us to another nine for our back. Liked the course. Slow play really hurt my overall opinion.
