Decent course

Played this course over the holidays. Very slow and very soggy. Already behind schedule in the first hour of the day due to “members” that can’t show up on time. Overall a decent course but not the best value for quality.

Go it be any slower

Just soooo unnecessary...what's the number 1 complaint today - correct it's "pace of play" . At IMG, no starter, no marshall, no adherence to tee off times or pace of play. By the 3rd hole we were stopped dead, by the 6th, 3 groups on the tee...home of the 5- 51/2 hour round, waiting on every single shot.
Here's a thought, send groups of 4 out maybe 10 minutes apart, encourage people to finish in approx 4 hrs, spend a few $'s on a marshall, encourage people to keep up with the group in front.
Pace of play is rarely perfect particularly on a busy public course but without any structure or effort put into it this is what you get...
I understand you will get slow play but when you play 18 holes and wait on every shot something has to be done...

Nice day on links

Everyone enjoyed our round at IMG. We moved right along until we hit a foursome of walkers. Still finished right at 4 hours.
