This
is
a
wonderful
/
scenic
golf
course,
but
the
suggested
4.5
hours
to
complete
a
round
is
unrealistic.
If
you're
lucky,
you
can
do
this
on
a
good
day
on
an
average
18
hole
course.
But
at
Westwood,
there
is
a
fair
amount
of
commuting
in
between
each
hole.
Even
though
Power
Carts
are
supplied,
you
can't
drive
everywhere
with
them.
Oftentimes
one
must
stick
to
the
cart
path
and
park
a
fair
distance
away
from
the
green
or
the
approach
area
and
then
walk
back
and
forth.
On
average,
one
would
walk
about
five
or
six
miles
at
a
regular
18-hole
course.
When
I
last
played
Westwood,
my
golf
watch
odometer
registered
12.3
miles
in
total
distance
covered.
Meanwhile,
the
GPS
screen
on
the
cart
is
always
reminding
you
just
how
far
behind
this
four
and
a
half
hour
pace
you
are
on
a
regular
basis.
I
wish
I
could
power
OFF
the
screen...
5
hours
is
about
right.
And
even
more
than
that
if
you
wind
up
spending
time
hunting
for
balls
in
the
dense
woods
and
vegetation
that
surround
the
course.
Lots
of
wonderful
natural
hazards!
I
love
shooting
over
the
huge
ravines...
Sure
I
get
that
they
want
to
keep
up
the
pace,
and
the
Marshalls
are
really
great
at
helping
move
things
along.
But
don't
take
away
from
the
pleasure
of
playing
by
stressing
folks
out
about
the
4.5
hour
pace.
Unfortunately,
Furry
Creek
does
the
same
thing.
There's
even
a
sign
on
the
cart
stating
a
4.5
hour
playtime.
Unrealistic
given
the
commute
between
holes
and
the
treacherous
terrain
and
blind
shots
that
leave
you
hunting
for
your
ball
a
little
longer.
Played
a
game
at
UBC
with
a
foursome,
and
we
finished
up
in
4hr
20min
WALKING
on
an
easy,
wide
open
course
with
few
hazards.
And
we
moved
along
swiftly
from
hole
to
hole
without
delay
as
our
group
were
all
around
about
12
handicappers.
Golf
carts...PLEASE
FIX
THE
PARKING
BRAKES.
Very
annoying
given
the
steep
terrain.
And
what's
with
the
"sand
bunkers"?
More
like
gravel
pits.
Check
out
the
sand
traps
at
Savage
Creek.
Nice
fluffy
white
sand.
Like
you
see
on
the
PGA
tour.
That's
what
you
should
be
using.
Given
the
price
to
play,
I
would
expect
better
conditions.
And
a
free
bucket
of
balls
at
the
practice
range
in
advance
would
be
a
nice
touch.
