Very reasonable rates . Short course a lot of 300 yard par 4 from white tee, back tees not much farther fun and fast. Staff very friendly and course seemed well kept. Green smooth maybe a little on slow side but nice and well hold.

Hard to follow layout

The course was nice, I played the private 9 hole course, but the paths are not clear at all. I got very lost in between holes 7 and 8. The cart path should be clearly labeled and the private and public courses need better differentiation. Still had fun.

Slowest round ever

Front 9 took almost 3 hours; well over 5.5 hours for the full round. Extremely long round for a 6000yard course. Not sure what the deal was, but had to wait at least 10 minutes at each tee box before taking a shot

Confidence Booster

The greens were better today than they have been. The pace of play feels slower than it is. My 9 holes on the Stakeholder Course was just at 1:40, however was log jammed the entire time and felt much slower.

I will continue to come back until I break par on the Stakeholder 9 as this course does wonders for my mental game.

Location, Location, Location

RGA is all about the location. It's essentially a driving range/practice course that provides a very forgiving, fun, no frills round. The greens are like putting on the fringe of most better courses. The pace of play can get slow, however the staff is great and more than accommodating as are most patrons.

I am a 20 handicap and love RGA for the confidence boost as it is the one course in the area where I can break 80.

It's 6,000 yards / Par 70 from the tips and probably should be Par 65.
