Played On 05/26/2020Terrible/rude marshal staff
I wanted to like this place so much, but the behavior of the Marshals were terrible. Long story short, we booked a tee time for two (with cart) for an early morning tee time. Upon arrival, we were paired with walkers. These were the only walkers for the morning and were placed in front of several small groups with carts. We made the best of it and waited for the walkers on the first nine.
About the 7th hole, the marshal told us (specifically is players in the cart) to pick up rate of play. We explained that we were paired with walkers and they were causing the “delay”. The marshal never approached the walkers. All groups behind us had carts and were 2-3 players. The marshals then followed us to the 8th-10th holes and watched us play. On the 10th hole the marshals approached us in the cart again and told us to play from the red tees due to rate of play. They also made a comment about it being a “rough” game. We completed the front 9 in 2 hours and 11 minutes, even while waiting for walkers, slightly above average for rate of play. We left after the 10th due to the continued harassment by both marshals.
I would not return again due to this behavior, but I will say that the clubhouse staff were apologetic and receptive to our concerns, especially Roy.
