Slow Play

Common theme every time I play at Mather: too many people playing, pace of play is 5 hours, tee times are 8 minutes apart, constant delays in teeing off (20 minutes late). Players refuse to rake bunkers and fix ball marks on the greens.

Course Conditions

Several tee boxes are overgrown with crabgrass and the rough and fairways have multiple weeds/crabgrass. With Troon taking over, I would assume this will be a high priority to address before the spring hits.

Tough

Greens were recently punched (as usual, are difficult to putt) but needed to be done to maintain excellent greens. Course seems to be getting lots of water, so expect playing a mud ball and losing distance in the fairways and around the green. Rough is thick and tall which makes it extremely hard to locate your ball as well as play out of it. The aeration plugs have been raked around the green in the rough. Course will be in great shape within a week or two.

Slow play

The starter allowed 6 players to go out as a group on a packed crowded holiday. We waited on every shot and it took us a little over 5.5 hours to play. We called the pro shop and they didn’t seem to care as several groups behind us called and complained. We had at least two groups on the box each time and at one point had three groups on the box waiting.

Slow Play

A normal round on the weekends will take on average 5 - 5.5 hours. They put two 5 somes in front of us and the marshals didn’t do anything to get them to move quicker. Apparently one of them was getting married and told our group who was playing behind them that they didn’t care if they played slow or not.

The pro shop should never let 5 somes out on weekends!

Condition

Tee boxes are in bad shape and several areas are missing turf. Lots of uneven tee boxes. Several bunkers are hard pan and looks like red clay. Drought conditions are taking its toll throughout the fairways and rough.

On a positive note, the greens are still in great shape and rolling true.

Need Marshals

This course desperately needs marshals to improve the pace of play. It took me 3 hours to play the back nine. Adding marshals would improve pace of play.
