Every Saturday is Gonna be slow

This is either my 3rd or 4th time playing at Sleepy Hole on a Saturday afternoon and it is always super slow. Each round i have played has easily crossed the 5 hr mark with just myself and another player. I know some days are slow but seems like every Saturday there is a tournament for members causing slow play. There is no ranger to tell teams to pick up the pace of play. It's a shame because the course is nice and it's a decent price but pace of play has really killed it for me. I won't be going back to Sleepy Hole anytime soon.

good value

Fairways were surprisingly dry enough to handle carts. Considering the high volume of play, the course is well maintained. I remember the course when it hosted the LPGA The course has had its challenges over the last 35 years but it is a good track for the money.

Green and sandtrap!

A very good layout and overall a beautiful course!
Too bad players don’t fix their golf ball divots or ball mark on the greens. Overall I had to fix approx 10 ball marks on every Green!
I was also disappointed with the lack of maintenance of the sand bunkers or sandtraps.

Nice day slow play

Played today and the weather was on the dreary side . Misty rain and overcast. The pace was a bit slow. Foursomes with singles in between caused alot of the slowdown. If they were put in groups the pace would have been much better. We invited a single to join us to speed up the pace. Still a good day on the course.

Will not be back for a while!!!!

I have played this course at least once a week, or every two weeks, for the last 4 months. Today it was in the WORST shape I have ever seen it. They had two different tournaments going off, simultaneously. Should have blocked off any other tee times if this was going on. I do not know if they are getting ready to punch the greens or what, but the only thing good about the course were the fairways. Tee boxes were in bad shape, greens were atrocious! Note to ALL golfers: Learn how to repair a pitch mark on the green, or three!!!!!!

For the price nothing beats it

This was my first time playing, challenging course, very good layout. Only down side is there was not as many views as I thought there would be.
The staff was awesome, the course was in fantastic condition. The bunkers were unplayable BUT with all the rain that’s a give.
I will be playing again.
