Don't go until it's ready

I felt like we were hitting off old astroturf the entire round. Hard bounces all over the place.

Layout crazy

They need to put up signage for each hole. Hard to find the next hole.

Back 9 are in horrible condition

Front 9 are good but it seems that the back 9 have been completely abandoned for years. Everything is in terrible condition.

Back 9 in terrible condition

The front 9 holes are well maintained but the back 9 are in terrible condition. The cart paths are full of large pot holes, &the fairway and greens are in awful, almost unplayable condition.

Great day

Had a beautiful warm day at RGA. Super walkable 18. Pace of play is a little slow but I don’t mind it. Greens are looking forward to the spring I’m sure. As a newer player this is a great course

Great course, inconsistent

I’ve played here a few times. Hit or miss. Played 9 this weekend and it took 2:40 minutes. Waited after almost every shot. Some days I don’t wait once. Greens aren’t amazing but not terrible. One tee box has no grass, but some are great. don’t expect Augusta. But for the price, I’ll continue playing here

Greens are almost unplayable

These are the worst greens I've almost ever played on. They are essentially unplayable as they are overwhelmed by poiana and crabgrass.

Friendly staff, decently fun layout. Greens are a diseased in spots, and covered in crabgrass in others. Several tee boxes are sandboxes. Fairways are in good shape. Overall, great bang for your buck. There are definitely many worse courses in the area.

Course conditions are pretty shaky

I had a fun enough round on Monday, though the course conditions are pretty poor. The tee boxes either have long grass, or are pure dirt. The fairways are in OK shape, but the rough needs a cut. Any ball that finds the rough sinks into the bottom roots of the grass and is nearly invisible unless you are standing 2ft away. The greens are horrendous - more weeds than grass, and shaggy. I kept coming up short all round.
