Took us 3 hours to play the back 9 on Northeast. Not because it was crowded on a Saturday, but because of one rude threesome who would not tee off on par 4 until the group ahead of them were on the green and then took forever once they made it to the green. Called the clubhouse on the 12th hole to see if a marshal could get them moving. Was assured they would try to help, but we never saw a marshal. Apparently the course doesn't care. Ridiculous.

Three hours to play the back nine on the Northeast. Not because it was crowded on a Saturday, but because of one threesome who refused to tee off on Par 4s until the group in front of them were on the green and then took forever when they reached the green. Ridiculous. Called the clubhouse to see if a marshal could help get the group moving, but never saw one. Apparently the course doesn't care.

Booked a 2p.m. tee time. Did not tee off until 3. This was partly because of slow play, but mostly because the course doesn't have enough carts. They have had this problem for several years and apparently don't care about it. The staff, which is pretty good, is put in a position to deal with unhappy customers. The course is nice, but plagued by painfully slow play. Wanted to play 18, but only ended up playing 9 because it was almost 5:30 when we got to the 10th and found the group in front of us loitering on the tee with no one in the fairway in front of them. It was crowded, but this course isn't difficult enough to justify having to take more than 5 hours to play. Before we teed off the staff gave us coupons for a free 9 holes. I won't be back.

The course was nice, some bare spots in the fairway, and the greens were slow, but in good shape. The biggest complaint was the pace of play. Shouldn't take 5 hours to play this course...ever.
