Tee time of 9:30, drove up to the second tee at 10:00. REALLY?? Another group was still on the tee in front of us (they didn't tee off for 5 minutes after we arrived); because one group was in the fairway and one was on the green (only the second hole)!! It doesn't take a brain-iac to figure that is a 9 hour round (even 6 hours if things pick up). The pro shop obviously allowed one or probably 2 groups to go off without a tee time. Person behind the desk said "Allowing an extra group wouldn't have put you that far behind". True, how many extra groups were allowed to play? Obviously, the tee time is just a "best guess". Part of course management is managing pace of play and tee times. NOT HERE. Very frustrating and totally unnecessary.

Played the "New Course" by Nicklas. Holes desinged after Scotland courses including St. Andrews. Wide open fairways in excellent condition. Greens excellent as well. Four hour round. Avoid the deep bunkers. Returned for replay round late in the day (no charge) and played in 2 hours. Most fun I've had playing golf in years. I have a 11.5 handicap and played 3 other highly rated Orlando cousres.This was the best.
