Very scenic course probably too difficult for most amateur golfers. Fairways are in bad shape. The greens are difficult, would be impossible if they were faster. Took almost 3 hours to play front 9. Do not play on weekends!

Great Course but.

This is a truly great course but it’s unplayable on the weekends. It took 3 hours and 10 minutes to play the front nine. Cart paths only and college club tournament didn’t help. However, it always seems to take forever and there are no rangers or any attempt to monitor the pace of play. Maybe try to play early on a weekday.

Very good golf course

Really fun front nine back nine is a grind. Great day to play less than 4 hour round. This course is a good challenge but extra hard today. The course was wet and it was pretty windy.

Friendly Course

Fun course in good shape after a ton of rain. The renovation helped the drainage system. Only criticism was they didn’t mention greens were being aerated and were unplayable.

Good challenge

Oak Brook is a good golf course with two different nines. 3 dog lefts then a couple of rights on the front make it a tough start. Back nine is a little straighter but really fun to play. A fun challenge.

Good challenge

Good course good challenge and Food is good all made fresh. Slow round today almost 5 hrs. Generally not this slow should be no more than 4 hrs. Maybe consider some marshals to help keep a better pace on the weekend.

Excellent links course

Great course great shape. Blue tees were a little tough recommend a hybrid around 6300 yards should be added. Also, marshall should be added. Group in front of us was 2 full holes behind and we waited on every hole. Also refreshment cart was MIA on a 90 degree day.

Challenging Course

The golf course was in good condition and the greens were fair. The greens can be impossible if they’re faster. Played the front nine in 1 hour and 45 minutes. Unfortunately, the back nine took 3 1/2 hours. There were several 5somes and no marshals too keep the pace. This has happened to me before and we’ve given up after a few holes on the back nine. I suggest only playing here early on a weekday when a 4 hour round is possible.

Course has potential

Pretty decent layout. Rough needs to be cut impossible to find your ball and slows down play. Carts are old and need to be updated. Red tees for ladies are too long 5,600 yards. Greens were very slow but in pretty good shape. Course has good potential.

Nice layout

Seminole was an enjoyable and challenging golf course. Condition was very good especially the greens. Course was a little wet from several days of rain so I moved up to the white tees on the back nine and it was still a good challenge.

Close to St Pete Beach

Eckerd college home golf course is convenient. Greens were just top dressed making it difficult to rate course. Good variety of holes and straight forward design making a circle.

Nice layout 2 completely different 9’s. Greens are tricky you need to stay below the hole if possible. Breakfast sandwich was very good and reasonable.

Hit it straight

Beautiful course and a good challenge with no regular sand traps only waste bunkers. Elevated greens need an xtra club. Need to play a few times to learn where the trouble is.

Lost Balls

This course has potential. Too many tricked up holes that need to be changed. Some holes after going around the lake were more classic and a good combination of links and wooded holes. Several holes were difficult because you can't see where to hit your drive and sometimes second shot. This really slows down play.

Great City Courses

Beautiful golf courses. Pace of play was excellent today. Windier than usual and it's usually pretty windy on these courses. Need to play the low shot anything high and spinning will end up in the fescue or water.

Good layout need to speed up play

Course was in good shape. Pace of play on Sunday was ok on front nine about 2 hours but close to 3 hours on back nine. We quit after 14th hole waiting on every shot not fun. Primary reason golf is not a growing game.

Slow Sunday

Course is great. Unfortunately it played at a snail pace of 3 hours on the back nine. A couple of really slow groups drinking heavy and screwing around in front of us.

#2 is a Strong Course Great Condition

This is definitely the second best layout at Cog Hill. Greens were a bit slow and rough was a challenge trying to find your ball. This slowed down play a little.
