Jungle safari

Let me preface this by saying this has always been one of my favorite golf courses. Played there on Memorial Day and it was a nightmare. Took a little over 3 hours to play the front nine. The quality of the golfers playing there was horrible and the lack of golf etiquette was terrible. They were hitting drives of 100 yards sideways and never considered letting anyone play through. Pace of play was slowed considerably by the 5" rough which made any foray into it a jungle safari. You needed a search party to find your ball even if it was just a few feet away.. Why a municipal course with a lot of bad golfers playing would have US Open type rough makes no sense. The PGA Tour only has a few events a year with this kind of rough and it makes no sense for a public course to do so. One of the main reasons for the slow play is people searching for the ball when hitting it in the rough there. I love the track but will no longer play there on weekends.
