This place is a disgrace. It was the first time I left a course without playing. The greens were brown, and none of the visible greens had a flag in the hole, The fairways looked overgrown. The fact that Edgewood charges money to play this course is criminal. They need to shut this place down for good, which I know is coming soon. There was no way I was paying $20 for the aggravation that would've taken place. It looked like a crater field. Land mines could only improve the layout.

First and foremost, the golf course was decent and in good shape. Many of us thought they were filming Cocoon 3 as the average age of the customers was north of 75, but that wasn't any reason for the slowness that would ensue.
Where the story takes a turn is the tenth tee.
Our foursome completed our front nine in just under 2 hours, with a 1:04 Tee time. We then made the drive across the street to tee number 10.
Have you ever seen 13 golf carts on one tee box? That's a question that wouldve been answered no (got close one time at Legends-Parkland hole 10) until yesterday. The 10th tee was a convention for golf carts, 13 of them. Most with two golfers in them, which makes we wonder if this course even knows Covid-19 is a thing. (To their credit, the clubhouse is spaced out to avoid contact, was just surprised at the willingness to see so many paired up carts).
We waited at the turn before teeing off on hole ten for 33 minutes. That includes some questioning on my part why people kept passing us out, and another one of our foursomes calling the pro shop to explain the situation.
They had a league which started around 2:30 or so. So unless we played the front in a buck twenty, this is unavoidable, and clownish. For those who run golf courses, here's a tip. If you have a 2:30 league, don't take a 1:04 tee time. Dont take a 12:30 tee time. Build in enough time to avoid the logjam that ensued. And when I booked my tee time, there where times later than mine you could book. So I am sure we weren't the only casual golfers met with gridlock on the back nine.
The course is fine, no major issues there, but the organization of this set up with leagues clearly had a lengthy performing stint with the Ringling Brothers. I will never go back.
