After we checked in my husband greeted the starter Peter and asked him how he was today. The response was 'I'll be doing a lot better after 4' which is when he goes home. Not a very friendly response to a customer. We teed off on time and after 40 minutes had only played 2 holes! Yikes. Had to call the pro shop and get the ranger out to move a very slow group along. Pace was ok until the back nine when there were 4 groups on one par 4. Called again. Ranger, told us that we were on tract to play 18 in just under 5 hours. Which was pretty silly. Said he didn't have to speed anyone along but mysteriously the speed of play improved. I thought the pace of play at a course was about 4 hours. It was busy but there was a complete lack of proactiveness on the part of the course to have a ranger out and manage speed of play.
The course was in reasonable shape.

Old South is a must play course on Hilton Head. The staff is super friendly with well organized started and range speed of play supervision. Always a delightful round. My husband and I both enjoy playing this course.

The course was in good shape. Unfortunately the Rangers take no responsibility for managing time of play . This is the third time we played the course and it will be our last. We finally called the clubhouse to complain about being behind a fivesome . Unfortunately things didn't get much better.
