Backed Up

I've played here many times. Lately it appears they have allowed more folks on and it's been getting more backed up. On November 1, 2020 the weather was perfect. We noticed there was no starter (so this should probably have tipped us off we might run into trouble). We were a 2-some and started promptly at 12:45. Once we reached number 2 tee, the 2-some in front of us were already waiting and asked if we'd like to join them which we did. We still were waiting but only a few minutes each hole. On the turn we noticed a group that had been two holes in front of us were now right in front and were waiting to tee off. Our friends had left so we were back to a 2-some. Every hole 10-15, was a long wait. The 4-some in front of us were waiting and so on and so on. So it didn't appear to be a function of slow play rather there were just too many folks on the course. Finally at 17 we just gave up as there were two groups waiting! As we drove off we saw that on the 18th tee there was a 5-some playing. Not sure if that was an attempt to consolidate in order to try and move faster or what but it was a bummer that such a beautiful day didn't turn out to be a great round.

I hope MV can put more focus on managing the flow as it's a great course and a good value with nice people but if this continues I think it will rectify on its own as folks simply will choose to stop coming.

Hello, thank you for reviewing the course. We would like to apologize for the delay of play during your round. Please know that this is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve and use your comments as guidance in doing so. Thank you for playing Mint Valley Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.
