Great Course...But Poor Management

I have been a fan of Hunter's Pointe since it opened. However, this all changed after my last round. It started with a marshall at the first tee giving me a lecture about "slow play and that if I could not keep up, they would ask me to let faster players through." I was the only one given this lecture in three groups - I was the only female player. I take offense to this, as I waited while group after group of male golfers were allowed to tee off, and I was only allowed to go after them. This was the start of a horrible experience.

The first 3 holes took 1 hr and 20 mins to play - NO MARSHALL TO BE FOUND ANYWHERE. On the third hole, with four groups waiting, we decided to skip the 4th hole and go directly to the 5th. We played holes, 5,6,7,8,9,10 & 11 in last than 30 mins - no one to be seen. At that point we caught up to the group ahead of us, and it took 2 hrs to play the next 7 holes.

Low and behold, on the 17th hole, the marshall (Mike) drives up to us, and starts yelling at us because we broke away from our group (of note...the group we were with we just finishing hole 9 after 3hrs...so they were going to take 6hrs to play the round). The marshall found nothing wrong with that, rather he proceeded to yell at the top of his lungs that I am not to skip a hole, I am to stay with my group, all the while pointing his finger in my face. I asked him where he had been all day? No answer. He was in the clubhouse, talking as we witnessed when we finished 9 and were on our way to 10. He told me not to expect to come to this course and finish in less than 4 hrs and 45mins (when did the average time to play 18 increase that dramatically!!!). For reference, I played the course the previous week in less than 4hrs with a foursome and a full course. When I asked to speak to the manager at the end of the round, there was not manager to be found, just a young kid claiming to be the manager and refusing to give me the name of the manager. The manager, said that everyone has a right to play golf no matter how long the round takes.

I will not return to this course for three reasons:

(1) discriminatory remarks made by the starter to the female player in our group about slow play (these comments were not made to any other member of our group or the groups behind us - all male)

(2) being publically yelled at by the marshall for skipping a hole. Ultimately, if the marshall was doing his job, we should not have had to skip a hole.

(3) a round that would have taken 6hrs if we had not skipped a hole and the marshall thinking that nothing was wrong with a 6 hour round.
