So I booked an 11:06 tee time. Arrived around 10:30 to give plenty of time to sign in and go on the putting green. We were advised on arrival that there was a society in front of us so play was a bit slow.

The putting green is next to the first tee at this golf course and there were 18 people (6 groups of 3 waiting to tee of infront of us as we got to the putting green at around 10:45. H

We waited until 11:50 to tee off where a queue of 3 other groups had already formed behind us.

We arrived at the second hole where again the majority of the pack of 18 were waiting to tee off meaning another lengthy wait. By 1:15 (1 hour and 25 minutes after teeing off) we had played 3 holes and were fed up of waiting so left.

My playing partner spoke with the guy in the club shop who advised we can go back for a free round whenever we want. Nothing in writing or anything, just advised he’d remember us. Unfortunately, I don’t want to go back.

Surely there should be advisory warnings of slow play/ societies before arrival in case the paying customer doesn’t have the time to wait almost an hour to tee off or have 7.5 hours spare to play a round which is probably less than it would have taken should we have stayed.
