Wednesday afternoon round - 18 riding with my wife on a beautiful day.

Front 9 was excellent - started with the nearest group 3-4 holes ahead of us. The book showed no one teeing off after us for the next half hour. Pace of play dictated entirely by us - finished the front 9 in about an hour and 30 minutes. Course was in pretty good shape. Enjoyable layout with some challenge in the holes.

Made the turn and things ground completely to a halt. The course must have been starting people off the 10th tee in front of us because as soon as we reached the 10th tee, there was a group on the tee, a group on the fairway, and a group on the next tee. Maybe more but I couldn't see that far. After playing the front 9 in about 90 minutes, it took 60-70 minutes for the next 4 holes. It was slow enough that we gave up, drove back to the clubhouse, and left. I wanted to ask inside what happened, but there was no one there to talk to.

I like the course - I've been there a number of times - and I find the value usually to be pretty good. This time was pretty disappointing. Particularly for my wife, it wasn't a good first impression. It definitely will affect the likelihood and frequency of going back.

[NOTE: I wasn't sure about recommending the course to a friend after this visit. I preferred not to answer that question, since it probably depends on a number of factors. But I couldn't submit the review without answering yes or no, so I had to go with one or the other.]

Great day for a round of golf. Beautiful weather, not crowded, and challenging but not impossible holes. Views around the lake are nice and different than many others around Ann Arbor.
