点评:Interesting course let down by management.
My friend and I booked the first tee time one morning in November. Upon arriving to a curt welcome in the pro shop we were reminded of our tee time (like we didn't know) and told that there was to be strictly no teeing off early - "we have cameras....".
Venturing to the first tee we found a group of four already hitting off a few minutes before our approved first tee time - most definitely early!
After playing the first nine quickly, we started the back nine. Upon arriving at the 11th tee, we saw four groups of four in various states of disarray along the extent of the rather short 11th hole. Clearly there had been a large group of people who started their round on the 10th. We were later told that these ladies only play nine holes and prefer the back nine. While they were remarkably slow, their taste in holes was in order as the back nine, at least what we saw of it, was far superior.
After playing the 12th hole twice - we decided that the pace of play was too slow so we bailed out and played the 17th and 18th on the way back to the clubhouse.
It seems obvious, however, people book the first tee time for a reason. We were time constrained and the ridiculous policy of allowing a number of slow groups to tee off from the 10th after the field has commenced on the front nine is ridiculous.
While there are some run of the mill holes weaving through the housing development, there are some great holes along the coast and it was unfortunate that we didn't get to play them due to some poor management decisions. Alternating the starting nines would allow people who only want to play the better nine to choose an appropriate day to play.

我的朋友和我预定了 11 月的一个早晨的第一个开球时间。到达专业商店后,我们受到了简短的欢迎,店员提醒我们开球时间到了(好像我们不知道似的),并告诉我们绝对不能提前开球 - “我们有相机……”。
我们冒险前往第一个开球区,发现一组四人已经在我们批准的第一个开球时间前几分钟开始打球了 - 绝对太早了!
快速打完前九洞后,我们开始打后九洞。到达第 11 洞后,我们看到四组四人沿着相当短的第 11 洞处于不同程度的混乱状态。显然,有一大群人从第 10 洞开始他们的比赛。后来我们被告知,这些女士只打九洞,更喜欢后九洞。虽然她们打得非常慢,但她们对球洞的品味还是不错的,因为后九洞,至少我们看到的,要好得多。
在打了两次第 12 洞后,我们认为比赛节奏太慢,所以我们放弃了,在返回俱乐部的路上打了第 17 和第 18 洞。
然而,这似乎很明显,人们预订第一个开球时间是有原因的。我们的时间很紧,而允许一些慢速组在前九洞开始比赛后从第 10 洞开球的荒谬政策实在是太荒谬了。
虽然住宅区中有一些普通的球洞,但沿海地区也有一些很棒的球洞,由于一些糟糕的管理决策,我们没能打到它们,这很遗憾。交替开始九洞可以让只想打更好九洞的人选择合适的日子来打球。
