Greens were fast but, in good shape. Fairways still need work on bare spots.

course conditions & pace of play

Greens were fast and in good shape. Pace of play was slow and course was unable to give me a cart so, I ended up walking. Fairways had many dirt patches and weeds.

No Marshall, terrible pace +40min on a weekda

Conditions fair, fast challenging greens and descent layout. But Pace was horrible, 2 groups of 3/4 take forever waiting for them virtually every hole, the 2-3 holes in front of them was wide open, cannot finish teeing off at Noon!
Get a Marshall out there every 30min!! Will not be playing there I can’t imagine how long it would take on weekends.

Course was okay, not as good as before

I typically only play Metropolitan once or twice a year. Mostly due to it being not near any of my playing partners. To me the course has slipped a little each time I play it. Fairways are below average or average at best. The rough are a joke … either very pitted or in tall grass. Greens are probably the only thing I found in decent shape. I tell myself to not pay more than $45 with a cart to come here. Will I be back? Sure, again for a discount or to bring one of my friends to try out a new course for them.

Pace of play awful, course conitions were below average for the money

Gave up after 13 holes when we were at the 4 hours fifteen minute mark after waiting on every tee box to hit. Fairways were patchy for no apparent reason -- $71 to walk this was a ripoff.

Declining Service and Course Conditions

Used to play here for years. Unfortunately the course, range, and management has fallen off dramatically. Pace of play during normal hours is horrible and the new staff here is not friendly.
I’ve always loved this course design but unfortunately, it’s no longer living up to the standard it once had.
