Decent place to play

Greens could really use some help. Overall it was a nice day to play golf. But the club has barely enough golf carts and this was on a weekday.

RGA

Great value for the price. Played here back to back days. Staff are incredibly friendly. Course could definitely use some love but didn’t expect much in February. The front is in better shape than the back. But great layout that will challenge your ability to navigate the course and greens rolled faster than they look. Will be returning!

Good course, tough conditions

I like the course layout, and the price, but some of the fairways around 16-18 are hard dirt, rocks, acorns, amd the greens have a lot of blemishes making it difficult for a smooth putt

Nice local muni

Greens and tee boxes were in pretty rough shape. Can’t expect much in these winter months. Hopefully rebounds in the Spring time

Good course

Couple of greens have some imperfections. Just a little bumpy. Few of the tee boxes sub par as well. Everything else is pretty well kept. Greens rolling fast this time of year be careful.

Used cart

No Carts

Showed up early for our tee time at 11:30, only to find out the course had already run out of golf carts. We were waiting until around Noon for another cart to open up. Spoke to a man who worked at the course, who was unapologetic for the inconvenience. The same person allowed two individuals in two separate golf carts to drive right past him and continue their round after the turn. I had no idea why he wouldn't demand people to consolidate golf carts at that point, with so many people waiting around to play. There was also a starter (who for some unknown reason to me) who was riding around in his own cart, not doing anything helpful. I've played a number of times at RGA, but Saturday was an absolute disaster and I won't soon be returning.

Greens are nearly worthless

Greens are like hammered dog crap. Bare spots, craters, a million divots not repaired. Not bad otherwise but the greens are trash. It's been a couple years since I played there and I don't remember it this bad but I don't recall honestly. No plan of going there again

Basic/Municipal golf

Short course that currently has some disease in its greens. It’s basic golf for a little higher than basic cost. Good course for a parent/child.
