I played Cyprian Keyes today after playing here a couple times a few years ago. We finished our round in 4 hours 30 minutes, standard pace of play. We had a groundskeeper from a different course in our foursome so the poorly aerated greens were a disappointment. Our foursome went out at 8:00 today and finished by 12:30, but I think we may have started a little after 8:00. There was no starter to tell you where you were in line other than the guy handling the golf carts who said, "I think you guys are up on the tee." By the second green a twosome was breathing down our necks so we allowed them to play through. The four elderly men who were then behind us were playing from the ladies tees so they would occasionally catch up to us and then we'd distance ourselves. We were playing at a standard pace still so when we were told by a ranger at the 6th hole to pick up our pace, we were confused. We continued with our standard pace of play and on the back nine were again told by a different ranger to increase our pace. The whole round felt rushed and not enjoyable. When I found out we had finished in 4:30, I was even more annoyed. I don't think I'll be playing at Cyprian Keyes again. Too many blind shots, the layout is confusing without proper signage, very limited where you can drive the carts, the poorly aerated greens, hard packed sand bunkers, tight fairways, ridiculous length and layout of some of the holes and being rushed throughout our round. Not worth the greens fees for a sub-par experience. Choose one of the many other courses around that appreciate your business.
