Slow play is an issue at every almost every club I have played, not isolated to TV. The winters in TV are no worse that anywhere else from my experience. What you have described is worse than my experiences in past winters in TV.

Like I have said in other threads about conditions and overseeding, I will remain hopeful.
I asked the same question in the "new members forum" in the thread "Newbie Golfers." There were some good suggestions from others. We decided to treat ourselves and take the New Golfers lessons as suggested - our goal is not to be great golfers or even good - we just want to have a good time and not interfere with others having a good time. We also wanted to know the "rules of etiquette." Other suggestions were to golf later in the day, use the executive courses (they are ranked as to difficulty), take the one hour etiquette course, pick up your ball and move on if you have tried and are holding up others, and ENJOY.

We are still "wannabees", but will be looking when we arrive later this month. Congratulations on your purchase AND good luck with golf!
