Teed off at 11:30 and finished in the dark at 5:05. Ugh, can I say pace of play 3 times slow? The reversal of the nines is (as Artie Johnson would have said), very interesting, but stupid. The back up is ridiculous as everyone is trying to drive both greens at 10 & 11 which are 275 and 240. Of course that didn't keep the meathead behind us on 2 from driving into us as we were putting out. However, the course was in good shape and the greens consistent. The new front nine can really be scored on but the new back nine is a better challenge. Overall, I'd go back but I'd sure like to see the nines put back the way they were and a couple of marshals on the course to keep it moving.
Would travel: 20-30 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
