Too many cookies in the jar

This is an overall review of golf facilities cramming tee times too close together. One potential solution to the problem of golf courses having tee times too close together is to implement a more efficient scheduling system. Spacing out tee times further apart to allow players more time on the course without feeling rushed. Another option is to stagger tee times strategically, taking into account the pace of play and ensuring there is enough time between groups to prevent overcrowding on the course. Somehow, (and I'm not sure how,) educating golfers about golf course etiquette and the importance of maintaining a good pace of play can contribute to a smoother experience for all players. And please stop letting 5 in a group go out! Golf courses can help alleviate the issue of tee times being too close together and enhance the overall enjoyment of the game for everyone involved.

Slow play

We always seem to get behind slow players. We were a foursome and got behind a couple that seemed to be medically challenged/slow. There was a whole hole empty ahead of them. We finally went around them and skipped a hole. Maybe get a ranger out there to move things along.

Glenn Lakes Review

The course was over booked. We did not get to complete our round. We had to wait on every hole.. We ran out time. But paid for a full round. Was not a good day.

Wet

The course is always wet, especially in front of the greens. , all greens. That makes it unfair to the average golfer. The layout is great , green speed is great. If they ever get the front of the greens dried up, it would be a great course.
