Incompetent Marshals/ un-level tee boxes

It took just under 3 hours to get through 9 holes. There are Marshals on the course, but they are really just paid spectators than Marshals. It is extremely slow and they do nothing about it. When confronted the marshal informed me they get 5 minutes per shot per USGA rules, to which I replied that is for lost balls. If they don't fix their pace of play issues they are going to start losing players.

The other major issue they need to address are their tee boxes. about a third of their tees are crowned and significantly sloped. Who doesn't like hitting a side hill lie when they tee off?

Raking the dirt traps more than once a month would help as well. Emphasis on dirt as you will be hard pressed to find sand in any of the hazards.

Good Greens, but the fairways...

The greens were in great shape which is why this review is bumped up to 3 stars, but every other aspect of the course is in pretty poor condition. The bunkers are mud holes, the fairways are a 60/40 split of grass/weeds. The rough is mowed down to fairway, or up depending on your perspective. The course is poorly designed for drainage (ton of standing water and not marked as a hazard). And the course is extremely short. Many of the par 4's are drivable (only 2 over 400 yrds from the men's tee. I am not sure what the men's tee is rated, but I would guess it is in the 110/63 range. This is the quintessential muni. They are extremely proud of their beverage service $3.50 for a small Gatorade, and $$$ for domestic brews.
