Foursome? How about a Tensome!

It had been 7 years since I played a round of golf, so maybe I've missed some changes in etiquette and protocol, but when is it ok for a group of 10 to play together?

I was in a twosome and we eventually caught up to a group of 7. They let us play through, but shortly there after we caught up to a foursome who was stuck behind 10 people playing together.

And it sounded like there were additional large groups ahead of them!

The marshal drove around and asked how we were doing, and we pointed out the slow pace due to these groups. He just kept on driving after that.

Funny thing is, we get to the 18th tee (a par 3) and the group ahead of us was down to 7. We walked up to the tee box to check our distance, and the marshal drove by and told everyone we would have to split up and play in groups of 4! He tries to get everyone to split up into 4's when we were on the 18th?

Horrible management at Cottonwood. It's a shame :(

Hard greens

Golf course in excellent condition the only bad it’s that the greens are very slow, you don’t want to get use to it if you don’t play here often
