I’m not mad that they had the juniors playing on Sunday afternoon. It’s the fact that parents that were with them had no common sense of the pace of play rule. Obviously yes the kids are going to be a little slower and that’s perfectly fine. But the siblings with them were running around on the green we were hitting too. The kids that were playing golf seemed to rather play with sticks and not walk towards their ball. Whoever organizes this needs to have a chat with the parents and kids about keeping the pace of play for other.

This course use to be in premium condition. It’s a little beat up on a few holes but still a fun course to play

Expected some soggy turf after a week of rain, and we got alot of it. Pace of play was slow as we ended up being a twosome sandwiched between a foursome and a threesome. Round took 3 hours, not too bad.

Very slow pace for an Exec course

Took over 2 hours to play front 9, was waiting at 10 with 2 other groups ahead, at that point I gave up and didn't finish the back 9 it would have taken even longer!

Still fun

This course can suffer from slow play but it never fails to satisfy that itch to get outside and enjoy the game.

Frustrating with slow groups who don't seem to care about pace of play. It should not take 3 hours.

Soggy conditions

Played two days after a heavy rain. Course was soggy as expected ( cart path only). Pace of play on front 9 was slow. Back nine much quicker. Traps were wet, but grounds crew were draining them. Overall, we got what we expected...and we actually scored very well under those conditions.
