Poor Pace of Play, Horrible Carts, Tight Course

Booked for an 8:20am tee off, didn't tee off til 9am and the 2 of us got grouped up with another Pair (they were great to golf with) but already that backed up is a bad sign.

The carts are horrible. Both our cart, and the other pair's cart, would take anywjere from 5 to 30 seconds to start up. They would just crank over that while waiting period. I saw another pair pushing their cart so that probably broke down. Super loose steering, barely enough power to get up steeper inclines. Just bad carts.

2nd time I've played this course. Was hoping the condition from last year, later in the season, was just because nearing end of the season. But it didn't seem like any improvements were being made. Been open this season for something like 2 months now. Hard and sandy tee boxes, greens are very thin grass, sandy in patches, and super fast.

Another complaint is how tight the course is. Your always at risk of getting hit by a ball. We almost got hit, by the group behind us, 3 times, like hit our cart close. Almost got hit another 5 times by people on other holes and thatbis probably a big reason why pace of play was horrible. Always waiting so you hopefully don't get hit, or hit anyone yourself. We finished 18 holes (with a quick 5min hotdog break after 9) in 7 hours. We were leaving at 4pm, tee'd off late at 9am.

Price of $40+ for 18 with a cart is ridiculously high. It's a $30/ea course at best weekend holiday peak times. Should be more like $20-$25/ea with cart for 18 holes.

Teed off at 830 and ended round at 3pm.
No ranger to check pace of play. No excuse for a 6 1/2 hour round.

Nice place to play

The coarse is a little tight and golf balls do tend to fly a bit all over. But it’s really the golfers who don’t say anything not really the coarse. Was my first time here but I enjoyed it and will be back

Very poor attitude at the desk!

Golf was fine. Pace of play slowed to a crawl on the back nine. The older gentleman running the desk was miserable. Didn’t want to answer questions. I brought back a sand wedge that someone left on a hole, and he didn’t even care. Barely looked up at me.

Amazing Value and challenge for the money

Course was in great condition especially for early in the year.
The short par fours leave a lot of scores open - I made 3 and 7 on two or the shorter holes.

The greens are true and I can see they will speed up as the weather heats up.

The only thing better than the course are the people who work there.

Waste of time

This is both on golf now and fern hill I paid to have a tee time yesterday august 13th and then had to wait at fern hill for 20-30 min due to 2 employees just walking by me sitting in the pro show just for them to tell me that I couldn't golf there today and it's golf nows fault. Complete waste of time and very unprofessional
