They don't enforce pace of play

Terrible experience. Nothing is done about slow pace of play. I understand that slow play is normal at a public course, but it took us 2 hours to play the first 4 holes. I called the desk and he said a ranger was out on the course. That was a lie. Never saw him/her. Won't be coming back and neither will my friends.

2:49 to play 9 holes.

Hello,

We has a 10:56 tee time teed off at 11:05, waited on every hole and every shot. Finished in 2:49. Very poor pace of play, ranger did nothing to speed it up.

Thanks.

Fine nine

A nice challenge for average and good golfers alike. Might be a little long if you're introducing youngsters to the game. In that case, play best ball, They might putt better than you do.
