Weekend review

The starter/ marshal should try to police the pace of play better. A group of very slow walkers were in front of us all day and refused to let us play in front of them. They each were playing multiple balls per hole, not letting groups play through and we’re walking on a Sunday when the course was completely booked. It makes for a very long and frustrating round.

Good value

Good value and well kept. Cart paths could use updating but that doesn’t bother me. Short course, don’t need your driver much, but lots of fun

Bad Clientele

The round was fine till the back nine when 2 middle schoolers joined behind us. They drove carts on the greens, hit onto your green as you putted, and threw your ball into the woods when they played through. I was appalled kids so young and immature could play by themselves.

Murph Experience

A fun course. Front nine, stockholders 9 and 1st 4 holes of back nine are golfer friendly..When you crose road to last 5 holes on back nine the holes are generally overgrown and sometimes punish some fairly good shots .Example: On 17 if your tee shot doesn't land within 15 yards either way of center you will either go left out of bounds or right into the woods???

Been a long time - glad I came back

RGA was in better shape than I remembered! Greens were in great shape as were the fairways. Just a fun place to get a quick round in with the family for a great price. Keep the expectations in check and it is a fun place to play - staff was friendly and we got in our round in about 3 hours!

Although the round was cart path only due to heavy rains the night before the course was in great shape. Staff at concessions was friendly , unlike the gentleman who checked me in for tee time. Personality of a gnat.
