Mission Hills - Gary Player Course
Played On 06/07/2017Good golf, good people, and terrible timing
We arrived at 11:10 AM for an 1134 teatime. Upon arrival staff advised us that we would not get to the tee until after noon, because the shotgun start from earlier in the day was taking a lot longer than planned. There were at least six groups ahead of us by this time. The temperature was approaching 105°.Two or three groups decided to leave (with refund) and a couple of other groups were allowed to transfer to the other Mission Hills golf course nearby. We had no options except to stay. After teeing off around noon, the first nine holes took us two hours and 40 minutes. The Ranger did offer us cool towels on hole number three, apologized to us on hole number five for the slow play, then on hole number eight he informed us that he told the groups ahead of us to speed it up. We decided to leave after nine holes, as the slow groups ahead made the turn and the afternoon, well it was still over 105°! The course was in good shape considering it is June, but by 2:40 PM all the staff had gone home, except one, the shops had closed and no one to speak to about our inconvenience. Good golf, good staff, just poor time management.
