Terrible Terrible Terrible Conditions and Pace

Played here in early March with a friend of mine and not only did the Ranger not do his job in speeding up pace/breaking up 5+ somes, the conditions were unbelievably bad. There is MAYBE one green on this course that rolls true. Dead grass galore, sand, dead areas in the fairway and TeeBoxes in such bad shape I slipped and nearly fell on a follow through. Do not pay hard earned money to play this course. The city of Gainesville has invested almost nothing into it, the conditions and pace are absolutely awful and it's overpriced. Go to Ocala for a better price and course

Slow Play

Pace of play was poor. The course was busy because the University course was closed for an NCAA tournament. Did they allow last minute players to start without tee times? That was denied but it was clear that they weren't honoring tee times. We were at least 30 minutes late starting. Groups ahead were not keeping up. A ranger would have had some groups skipping holes in order to even out the pace. No ranger on the course.

A very enjoyable day on a very nice municipal 18- hole championship golf course. For winter conditions in Northern Florida, the greens, tees and fairways were better than expected. The pace was a bit slow, but all in all a very nice experience.
