Review of Lyndebrook Golf Course

If you're looking to get started with golf, steer clear from this course.
This was my very first time golfing and my friends invited me this course as what was supposed to be a good place to begin.

Our group of 4 chose a mid-afternoon tee time on a weekday to hopefully avoid too much of a rush.

As we went to Hole 2, we were told we were taking too long so we started playing "best ball".

At Hole 3, we allowed the pair of players behind us to go ahead and waited. As they finished up, we were told by an employee to keep up with pair. How do they expect 4 players to keep up with 2?

Approaching Hole 7, we were told by another employee we had been on the course for nearly 2 hours and needed to skip to Hole 8. Looking at the time, we had been there for just under 1.5 hours.

As we skipped to Hole 8, we ended up waiting for the pair from earlier to take their shots (see picture). In the time spent waiting, we would've been able to play Hole 7.

From Hole 3 onwards, the trio behind us appeared to be playing at about the same pace we were so we did not see justification in the rush.

It seemed the employees tried harder to hurry our group along than they did in asking a family that was using the golf course as a shortcut for their stroll to leave.

If you're looking to spend your time powerwalking rather than golfing, by all means, choose this course. I have lost all motivation to return to this course and possibly golf.

All in all, my experience here was truly subpar.
