Over Booked; Slow Pace

I’m not sure how you have 6 people teeing off at the same tee time, but it happened here. I’ve been told they double book but who knows. Foursome in front of me wouldn’t even offer to let me play through as a single. Waited for 10 mins on each tee box. Used to enjoy playing this course but not going to be somewhere I play in the near future.

Downhill recently

Course conditions are mediocre, at best…. Course is normally in great condition but not today… yellow/Brown fairways, shaggy greens, rough that’s 4” …. Pace of play on the back 9 was pathetic… not sure I’ll be back, but i love the layout

Very hard course

It is a course for the low handicapper. You have to hit it long and straight. The pin placement for this day were brutal.

Good price, fair condition

Found a hot deal on GN. Played on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and expected a 5+ hour round. Finished in 4.5 hours, so very happy with rate and pace of play. Condition is way below what it used to be and just don't expect great condition and you will be happy

I've always loved this course, especially the back 9. The course was in great shape, including greens. The problem was pace of play. In short order I caught up to 7 4somes playing a scramble. Their format did not make them faster. I waited more than 10 minutes on every shot. I realize that as a single I'm going to be quicker and I accept the fact that I'll have some wait. But I got a rain check after the front nine because I was looking at a 3 hour back nine. I regard this as a one off at a course I love and to which I will return.
