As far as walkability, it's nice that the course 'encourages' it - but I really don't see how it's feasible.

To me, that was a curious stance for a pro shop to take - talk about setting up self-fulfilling expectations. I stated that with a 4.5 hour round, we should be able to make it, and the pro shop clerk corrected me and stated that golf at Arcadia Bluffs takes 5.5 hours plus to complete. When I booked a group to play there in fall 2000, I was looking at a particular tee time, and trying to estimate whether our group could make an 8:30 dinner time. I'd be curious whether the pro shop itself is aware of the pace of play numbers. Last point - I don't really care if Arcadia is natural or not - I just say the course is really fun to play (when the crowds aren't Times Square jammed) and isn't that a big part in why we play the game? Look, I'm no tour pro for sure, but when people are taking veal cutlet size divots you have to wonder 'what's wrong with this picture?' My round there was stalled by people who just could not handle more than chip'n putt at best. Rich in a previous post says Arcadia Bluffs was timed out at 4:30 hours per round, however, I have to see that to believe it. When I was at Pac Dunes last year you had players with caddies who were literally plumbing approach shots ?įortunately, I was able to bypass these clowns after the 5th hole and jumped over to #12 and played from there on - later on I returned and got the rest of the round in. The truth be told - too many of the high profile name courses are nothing less than a disaster to play during the high season. Good point to your story - glad to see you had some sort of female view to take your mind off the slogging of your two other playing partners.
