Buffalo Creek

Played this course a couple times.. Good value for the money. To often the pace is slow. Some of it is because they only have 7 minute increments on tee times. The other reason is an over the water tricky green par 3 for the third hole., where everything gets 3 and 4 group backups. If they would increase the tee time increments by even one or two minutes it would help a lot or keep the same increments and switch the front nine to the back nine and that would alleviate the problem by itself. Back right now starts with 3 fair par 4’s and a simple par 3. That would move things along much better

Martin review

Course pace of play is bad.If they would space tee times out another 2 minutes from 7 to at least 9 minutes it would take care of the problem. Consider switching both nines. The second hole on the front (the par 3) over water backs everyone up. If that was on the back the fact that people would be warmed up by the time they play it and the less hazards starting on the back would help a steady flow without all the backups.

Too slow

These Pope Run golf courses are brutal for slllloooowwww play. It's greed over service. The pin placements were stupid, can't even say bad, they were stupid, who's the intelect who decide to put 4 holes on hills. Nowhere for ball to rest!!! This made back ups at those holes, because instead of play for par your playing for double and triple, that includes all four players, no wonder on those holes there were 3-4 groups. Hence the word stupid!! The starter just never delays the groups to their times he pushes groups through as tight and fast as he can then you have major traffic right after hole one. Greens were suspect and just filling sand is a joke, they won't mysteriously just fix themselves, but this managent doesn't care! Some greens were ripped from aeration but don't bother to tell customers or even roll them or something. Watch the bouncy ball go. Too bad this could be great if it wasn't all about profits. I don't begrudge profits, I am just against take take take and do nothing to improve the experience.
