Great Course Poorly Managed

It took us 5 hours to play 18 holes. Ranger was poor and non existent on back nine. Tried calling pro shop to complain and got VM. In addition, drink cart failed to tell us last call. Course is fantastic but poor management’s

Hello. I am the Operations Manager for the Norman Course. I'm sorry to hear the pace of play soured your round. We do our best to try and promote a pace or 4:30 or less. The day you played was the busiest day of the year so far which most likely played in to the pace being slower than normal.

We appreciate you choosing to play with us. I hope your experience improves the next time you play here should you give us another chance.

Please feel free to reach out to our Pro Shop and ask to speak with the Operations Manager if you would like to discuss this further.

Beautiful and very slow

I was able to play 10 holes in 2 hours and 45 min (started at 3:27pm); yes, very painful slow play (where were the marshals??)

The twosome I played with stopped after 9 holes. I though I could go around a couple of the slower groups in front of us ... but that was not the case. Just rode the cart in -- so I was al least able to see the backside :)

Favorite Course to play

We love Playing this course. Beautiful, fair bit with enough difficulty for a challenge. People are all so nice.
We love to grab a bite on the patio but the kitchen closes much too early and so many times even when still open they tell you they are having a private event so they can’t prepare food. This course and setting warrant a reason to stay after your round to enjoy.

Great condition!

We got a great deal on a Sunday afternoon twilight time through Golfnow. The course was in amazing shape, greens were true and not too firm. The plants and water features around the course were very well kept and beautiful. Avoid the bunkers because they are steep and most require pitching out.
