2 twosomes were sent out in front of our foursome on the back. The snack bar was Terribly slow. As we got to 13, the marshsall told us we were two holes behind and that the clubhouse was getting calls. Was it a coincidence that 2 of our 4 were young Black players?(Im a 58 year old white male) I’d like to think not, but we were originally behind a threesome and the we had a single pushing from behind.
I really hope that Black players are treated the same as White players, but yesterday should me that it COULD be an issue.

Course is in good shape. However, two greens are suffering from saltwater intrusion and it is becoming an issue in too many places in the southern VB course (Hel's Point comes to mind).

Still recommend this course for play and value.

After back-to-back weekends with rain the night before, the course was in excellent shape and ready to be played. And played I did. 39 on the front and 1 under through 5. It was the best round I have shot in a LOT of years. THe course was just fine after all of the rain that had fallen in the area the previous two weeks.
One note: Some of the fairways could have used a trim before playing on Sunday.

...the night before I was surprised that an 854 tee time would be 90 degree on carts. While the course was not bone dry as earlier in the summer, it was much better than I expected. Greens were receptive and fairways were in good shape. Even the normally grumpy starter was in a good mood.
Pace was a bit slower than usual and no marshal ever came out to get the group in front of us moving a bit. BUT it was a Sunday and we still finished in about 4.5 hours. Definitely NOT terrible, but a little prodding every now and then is not a bad thing.

Another great day at Sleepy Hole. Being a twosome sandwiched by foursomes felt slow, but completed our round in just over 4 hours. On a holiday weekend (Monday) that was AGAIN, a pleasant surprise.
One request: When reminding players to fix their ball marks and repair their divots, tell them to QUIT DRAGGING THEIR FEET ON THE GREENS. On 14 out of 18 greens, we had to tend to drag marks all over the green. Doing other people's housework takes away from the experience.

When we played this course last year, we got soaked. Same thing this year, but it was on 17 and not 12 this time.
The course was in fair shape because the bermuda hasn't come all the way in yet. A lot of tight lies around the greens.
We will be going back as my brother had the best round of the year.

have played SH several times over the past three years. Kind of a hidden gem, if you don't know about it. Greens are in terrific shape. fairways were hard and fast. (REALLY need some rain here.). Number 18 is one of the great closing holes in the region, bar none.

Play this course 4-5 times per year. Maybe more. Great value. Course conditions this early in the season were above others I've played since mid-March.
Strongly recommend for locals and visitors.

Course is in great shape. Greens are firm and don't hold well on approaches, but then downhill putts don't roll out as fast as you would expect.
On the date played there was an event scheduled (Owner's 80th birthday. Happy Birthday, Merv) and staff came out to water greens and rake bunkers which made for interference by greenskeeping staff.
Also, no marshalls for speed of play. Had a 5-some in front of us and they were at least a hole and a half behind the group in front of them. Never waved us up and while it was a Sunday morning, pace of play should always be respected.
Love this course, but some of the staff decisions are questionable.

When I called in the morning, I was told it would be back 9 only due to Hurricane Dorian coming through the previous day. By the time we teed off @ 2pm, the entire 18 was available to play. Taking that into consideration, the course was in amazing shape with so much debris cleared and out of the way; we had a great time.
Staff was extremely friendly and accommodating.
