First, the course. It was fun. They layout was nice and playable without being "stupid" and the course was in good shape despite the amount of water we've had recently. Views were nice and in good weather the area would be beautiful. I would definitely play it again based on the layout and conditions.

Now the bad.

The tee time I booked online was 11:06am. The tee time the clubhouse put me down at was 11:33. No big deal on its own, but coupled with the other issues we had kind of annoying.

The course had a frost delay the morning we played. It happens, nothing anyone can do about that. However, the starters seemed to have a difficult time figuring out who should be up on the tee and did not do a very good job of spacing groups out. We were told when we checked in 20 mins prior to our time it was a 30 minute delay. About 11:45, the clubhouse started calling groups to the tee much less frequently, and started letting groups go off as twosomes rather than grouping it up as foursomes. We waited until approximately 40 mins after our tee time, and when we hadn't been called to the tee we went to pro shop to check on our status. Apparently they had "lost us on the tee sheet". The poor grouping led to 10 minute waits between many shots and no ability to get yourself into and maintain any type of rhythm. The whole round took between 5.5-6 hours.

Bottom line, I liked the course, I hated the way it was run. I get weather delays and I understand backups they can create. This was more than that. This was a weather backup compounded by poor course management, and that led to a miserable day on a fun course. Will I play it again, probably. But not anytime soon, need to let the stink blow off.
