My wife and I played this course; it can be too busy at times for I believe they overbook. Sometimes the pace of play gets rough and we have played 18 in over 4 hours at times. 3/12 hours on 18 should be on any course played.

At times this course gets stacked up with no Rangers to keep pace of play going; hence the staff does nothing to correct this problem. Makes for a horrible day of golf, even if the weather is great.

My wife and I finished our front nine and proceeded to the back nine. We had been following the same twosome and waited for them to tee off at the back nine. We know not to push; then a single golfer came down the street in front of us and made his way to the tee box. We asked him, excuse me sir, but we are next. He just waved us off. I asked the twosome in front of us if they were going to play a threesome and they first said no, then they chatted for a bit and said yes. When I called the clubhouse, a ranger showed up and went down to talk to this golfer and then the ranger came back to us and told my wife and I to just relax and not worry about it. I called the clubhouse again about this concern and was told that golfer is an EMPLOYEE of the golf course and that it would be taken care of. The club manager called him and told him to either get off the course or go to another hole. We were just finishing the 13th hole and here comes that EMPLOYEE golfer. He asked me if I had anything against him; which I said no, but that your not suppose to cut in front of other golfers; as we all have to show some patience playing this game. He proceeded to cuss me out 3 times with swear words that I cant type here. Then let me know that he was playing behind us and other people all day long. I asked him does that make you special and give you the right for going around other golfers; for we had been held up for most of the day too. We had a man/wife playing behind us and saw what had happened, and they were upset also. The EMPLOYEE golfer turned his cart around and proceeded to play with the original twosome that we had been behind from the 1st hole. My shock was finding out this fella is an EMPLOYEE of the golf course; and with that said he is doing a FINE job of catering to folks like us who PAY for playing while he takes advantage of his position. The manager of the course told us he would take care of it; but his attitude did not seem that concerning and he never told us that he was sorry about what happened. It ruined our day for golfing!!!! This is the first time in all my many, many years of golfing on many, many golf courses that this kind of situation ever happened. If management on this course cannot handle their employees or manage a course better than what we came across...…..I am speechless.

I found the course to be moderate in my ability to play it; did not like the very tight lies and hardness on the fairways and the greens could have been better. It must be a Florida thing for I am used to playing the courses up north where the fairways play is softer and the greens are smoother.
