Teed off at 9:36 Sat am - Incredibly slow - Took 1 hour to play 3 holes. Called Proshop for refund as its no fun playing a 6 hour round. Staff was excellent in providing us with a rain check and we quit and went in for a pint.
Changing the front and back nines does not make sense - yes the 1st hole is now easier than the 10th but the 2nd and 3rd are tough holes and really slow things down. The 10th is a tough starting hole but the 11th, 12th etc are pretty easy and I've never had issues at Lionhead with extreme slowness until now. Please consider switching it back. Also, it would help if signs were on the tees that told what yardages were to hazards ie include distance to creek hazard on 2 and 3 tee blocks. Could also use marshalls on 2 and 3 to get things moving. Great course just needs to be sped up.

Good course and value apart from one stupid hole (15) and the tiny creek they put in the fairway of the 7th hole. If you hit your career drive on this par 5 you roll into a water hazard they put just at the point you need to reach to have a chance at the green in two. Not smart and makes you wonder who designed this, maybe the same person who designed 15 which is another par 5 requiring a 99% accurate tee shot to have any chance at reaching it in two - gimmicky not challenging as you're really lucky if you hit the right spot to have a go.
