The pace of play is killing golf

The round took over 4 1/2 hours. Way too slow as we waited on every shot.There was a very slow 4-some and then a single ahead of us. Why would the starter allow a single to go out in the middle of the day? The rangers need to step up & do their job. They need to force slow players to pick up the pace.

Slow play is killing golf

At times there were three 4-somes on a hole and not a par 5. After the 7th hole we waited at least 10 minutes to tee off on each hole. I asked the ranger why it was so slow? He said that a very old gentleman was causing the backup. Well, can't they allow groups to play through? Why would they allow 1 person to kill the pace of play for an entire course? Do your job!

pace of play is abysmal

I checked in early. The staff, starter, grounds keepers, etc. were all very professional and friendly. I was a single and knew that I would have to wait on holes. I did tee off 1 hour earlier than expected. All good so far.

Well after finishing the third hole, my watch indicated it took 1 hour. At the 6th hole, there was a huge backup. The lead foursome was at least a hole behind and stopped to get drinks at the cart. They were literally at the tee box for 15 minures. No sense of urgency whatsoever. There was no where for me or the other golfers to go. They did not offer to let anyone play through. So I paid $60 to play 5 holes and left the course after 1 hour and 50 minutes. I was not going to hang around for a 6 hour round. This is just unacceptable. There was no ranger to enforce pace of play and the lagging foursome did not understand common golf etiquette. I will never return to this course.

Slow pace of play

I like course. I liked the value. Fairways could use more water (aka grass). The only downside is pace of play. Too many slow golfers not following golf etiquette (I.e; ready golf, pick up on double par, don’t putt 3 footers unless for a par or bird). Need rangers to enforce pace.

Pace of play was terrible

The course was in very nice condition and the fairways had ample grass. I like the course and believe that it's fair. The downside is pace of play - it's terrible. It took over 5 hours. Anything over 4:15 is not good. It's inexcusable not to have rangers on the course pushing the slow players. This happens most every time I play this course. I don't get why pace of play is not a priority for them.

Pace of play was brutal

Brutal pace of play. Waited on every single shot. There were many signs on pace of play - why didn’t they enforce it? Did not even finish 18, ran out of time.

We regret you did not enjoy your round. The course was closed for a tournament on Friday making Saturday a very busy day. Rangers can only do so much if even after being warned, players still don't speed up. Please try us on another day.

Slow play is killing golf

Need to have all course personnel enforcing the slow play rule. One group can ruin the day for all. It should be a 4 hour rule. Not 4:10, 4:20, 4:30 ... 4 hours. Secondly, the tee times should be 10 minutes between and not 8 minutes. The entire island does it and it just makes it miserable for everyone. "if you don't play well, play fast"
