Love this course, but...

Just want to start that I really like this course.

My issue today was the lack of marshals to enforce course rules.

Today was Cart Path Only (typical of winter golf) and the group behind us blatantly ignored this rule. Our group informed them twice that is was Cart Path Only, but they just told us that no one told them. So of course they keep ignoring the Cart Path Only rule and spend the day breathing down our necks.

I called the Pro Shop on hole 6 to let someone know what’s going on, but it seems I was either forgotten or ignored. The group behind us must got frustrated by the end when they hit a ball into us on hole 18. Luckily the ball missed (by a few feet). I decided that it was just best to leave instead of escalating the situation.

This could have been avoided if someone had come out and warned that group, but maybe it seems Cart Path Only is just a guideline.

Pace of Play Issues

Arrived at 1:15 for a 1:27 tee time, but my tee time was already given away to a foursome.The starter said that they were ahead of schedule and then slotted me in at 1:45.

Front 9 ended up taking over 3 hours to finish. Two of the players ahead of us were extremely slow and didn't seem as if the roaming course ranger did anything to get them to speed up. Luckily they only played the 9 holes.

Only reason I was able to finish was that 2 groups ahead of us had to leave. Even then, after pairing up with some others who had gotten stuck we barely managed to finish.

I get that it was a holiday, but taking over 3 hours to finish 9 holes is still unacceptable.
