Very Slow today

5 hours, 20 minutes is too slow. Waiting on every hole. The course Marshall should have kept things moving for the group two groups ahead of us. They were dinking around a lot

Slow Play

The Marshal need to do a better job at removing or speeding up the slow DRUNK golfers! They were made aware!

Very good challenge of golf

All star course. Only issue we had was that the course marshall incorrectly had our tee time wrong and then wanted us to speed up play . Once he realized that we were right on our scheduled time his comment was, well you need to play ready golf! His hawking of our group made for a bit of a disturbing outing. Totally uncalled for and put a damper on what was otherwise an enjoyable outing.

Good day

It was a good day for a round today. The pace was a bit slow for us, especially after the turn, but we made it through. The tee boxes had not been mowed in a while and were fairly rough today, we are used to them being better maintained. Overall, not a bad day.

Greens were surprisingly fast!

I heard stories that the greens got messed up over the winter. They weren’t perfect but they were good and surprisingly fast. Will certainly be back I’ve always liked Lake Spanaway.

Greens and bunkers

All greens were bumpy with bare spots. No smooth rolling surface. Most bunkers had thin wet compact sand. I was in a lot of them.
