evil greenskeepers

typical after usopen golf course habit of putting the pins in the most ridiculous locations on every green made this an extremely horrid putting day... put it right on the knoll/behind a trap a couple holes each side...but every hole y'all?

Soggy

Wet day on a not too challenging course. Only completed 8 holes before lightening stopped play. Course is in good condition except for ingrowth on greens.

Great course for the cost

The greens were quite good in terms of grass health, but there were a lot of pitch marks all over them.

Highlight of an OK trip

In NC for a medical emergency. Was able to get away to play this round. Nice layout for an intermediate player. The greens were in ok condition some weeds popping up. Overall great experience and play for a rainy day.

Been Awhile

I used to frequent this course years ago and after coming back from a 4-5 year break, I was blown away with the course. Greens are still slow, but super pure. Perfect course for anyone looking to get started in the game!

Know what you're getting into when you play RGA

With 9 holes closed, it is even more crowded than before. And with a bunch of hackers, pace is horrendous.

Course is a college kid wasteland

I tried playing 18 on a Sunday afternoon. In no rush enjoying my round playing at a great pace. My group of 4 were right behind another group of 6 yes they let 6 go out but they were great in front of us. Issue was the 4 behind us had some girl screaming to hurry up and pick up our balls. The entire round nagging us with no way to speed up took us 3 and a half hours to play 11 holes it was miserable.

The course needs some attention to many places. That should be good landing spots for your ball, but are troubled areas
