I played here today with a friend, having booked on-line for 09:30.
On arrival we were told we must tee off at our booked time and would not be able to tee off on the 10th. until 11:30 as there was a ladies competition. Or, we could play the Childerditch as the back nine but we had booked the main course, at a higher price, and we wanted to play that course.
As we knew we would not be able to tee off on the 10th. until 11:30 we played slowly for the first 9 holes as there was nobody behind us.
We had to wait onthe 10th. tee until 11:30 and teed off behind a ladies four-ball. They held us up on each of our shots and did not wave us through although they had at least one clear hole in front of them.
The back nine took us 2 hours, so that was a total of 4 hours for the 18 holes. When we play other local courses as a two-ball, we can get round in less than three hours. We were waiting on every shot and this spoilt our enjoyment.
The players behind us were obviously getting frustrated as one of them hit his tee shot onto a green while we were still putting. And he did not even call "fore"!!!

If we fancy a relaxing game of golf we will not be returning.
