Pelican Point Get Golf Ready is like $20 on a Saturday

I played that "course" a couple of times. Both times the same experience. I took my son out to play as he was wanting to try to learn. They advertise it as being good for beginners and families, which is a great idea, except that the price attracts so many that the slower (learning) players get pushed right off. Both times I had twosomes of guys who could have possibly been single digit handicaps stacked up behind us. Between the two times I played it, I probably had to let 7 or 8 twosomes play thru. Fact is there is no way that a beginner who is struggling to get a double bogey is going to be able to play ahead of the pace of a twosome scoring pars on most holes. I understand they can't regulate the type of player that plays it and I'm not asking them to, but what they advertise, and what you actually get out there is not the same.
