One of my college groups plays this course annually, and it's been wonderful year after year.

They also let us choose whether we played front 9 or back 9. Course was in pretty good shape overall. I think it must have rained that day as the sand traps were pretty soggy and greens kind of messy. The sports bar was closed and it didn't look like it had been open for awhile. Unsure if it's open anymore at all. The pro shop has a few small snacks and drinks there to suffice your needs or tie you over.

We were playing at a slower pace so we let groups play though(so we didn't cause any delays). It would be nice if this course was more welcoming to new players. Will not be coming back after this unnecessary and rude interaction. 9 holes took 2 hours, which is not much slower than the recommended pace of play.

There are NO EXCUSES. Except for leaving in shame after hole #7, the course was very enjoyable. However, that was little consolation for me.
