Course is decent, very short even from the blue tees.
The two of us were forced to give up on the 10th hole because of very slow play ahead of us. Run into groups of 5 or more often but they always allow us to play thru, didn't happen this time. Most courses don't allow a party of more than 4 on the weekend but this course obviously did allow members to do so and 1 of the party was walking which slowed the pace even more, counted 41 strokes taken by 5 members of the party on a par 4, two of the players even hit multiple shots off the tee box. I did think I saw the course manager but he failed to address the slow play, my guess is because they were members.
Slow play makes golf un-enjoyable. I will not play Holiday Island again.
