text: So in all fairness, the course was actually very nice, but the rating is for the staff at the course.  I was playing with several friends who were new to golf, hence a par 3 executive course.  We were a slow going group, but we offered several times to let the twosome behind us play through.  They said they were fine to play behind us and were entertained by us.  All was good, and the course was nice for a par 3.  But the course marshall was an idiot.  On the 17th hole (read that again....the 17th hole), he rides up in his cart, actually picks up one of our balls in play from our tee shots, and rides up to our group and says we need to observe rate of play.  I told him it's the 17th hole, we've already teed off, so really, not a lot we can do at that point.  He was a jerk and gave us attitude.  If he had actually done his job he would have talked to us about the 5th hole. What a jerk.
