Red/Blue at Ramblewood Country Club

I should have known when the parking lot was empty at 9:00 am on a beautiful Saturday in August. The guy in the pro shop took $5 off the price due to "spotty fairways". That was an understatment. Some of the fairways were barely playable, and the first hole on red was a false green. Most holes, even in the fairway, it was tough finding a spot to even move my ball to for a lie that wasn't in mud. Just not fun when you struggle to find grass in the fairway.

The course has a nice layout, but was in terrible condition. It's actually sad to see what could be a really nice course in this type of condition. Friends and I drove from Philly to play here, not too far, and were really disappointed. The course condition was comparable to Philly public courses, but 3x as expensive.

A buddy and I went after 4:00 on a Wednesday for $26. That's an astronomically low price. With that being said, it's still a bit of stretch to say we got a "bang for our buck". We had no problems with the staff, and the pace was fine. My biggest complaint was the course itself; everything from the fairways, to bunkers, to the greens were in bad conditions. There were patches (some pretty large) of dirt/hard mud throughout the course. Some spots were so bad it was impossible to hit off of, even though you would be in the fairway. Many of the bunkers were also filled with water. It's a shame because I've played the course plenty of times throughout the years and this was by far my worst experience.
Would I go back again? Not this year. Perhaps down the road. I've seen the course in 10x better shape before so I haven't given up all hope. But I'd never pay $50+ bucks to play Ramblewood, which is their rate for certain days and times. It would be "deal or bust" for me, personally.

Greens were good, which is most important in my book. July 5 review was right, course does not drain. Many puddles and overall very wet 2 days after last rain.

Course was in great shape and the greens ran true...golfers definitely take care of their ball marks.

Played White to Red courses. Both were in above average condition. Pace of play was terrific, no slow downs whatsoever. Sunday late morning a good time to play.

Course is in good shape. Sand traps could use some real sand though.

Great time,everyone from pro shop to starter to club house personal were fantastic. Always a good time.

Staff was friendly and helpful and the course was in decent shape for this time of year. No complaints at all, but nothing extraordinary either.

Red to White, nice day. Moist conditions, but very playable. Greens not green yet, hard to read. The course was still hibernating. Yet, you can see how once it comes back to life, it will be good, as you would expect from Ramblewoods history.
I had great lies in the fairway, no complaints at all.

The course was in GREAT shape for being January! I will be back again!

I was able to fit in 18 this past weekend when it was nice and sunny, before the snow hit later in the week. The course was in pretty good shape for it being the middle of January, and of always the staff in the pro shop and bar were nice and friendly.

Played the white and red course. Good 9's with some good challanges. The course was in good shape given the weather they have had here. Some of the greens were a little patchy but where they had the pin placements those patches did not come into play. They played on the slower side but are still trying to recover from all the rain. Pace of play was very good, we moved right along. Only downside, no driving range.

This course was soaked. I have never seen a course with such a poor drainage system in my 15 years of golfing. It was like walking through quicksand to get to the middle of most of the fairways!!!

I live only a min from the course, but I have to give thumbs up for the course condition. Except for the Blue, White and Red courses fairways are very we wide and groomed mostly well. Wonderful staff, and a nice beer opportunity after the 18th.

But i am particularly grateful to the owner for the Patriot membership. It is an absolute joy to my daughter, and we will be forever grateful. With such a difficult economy nowadays, such generosity to young kids should be well recognized.

greens were very challenging and in great condition

I really enjoy playing this course. It has 3 nine's that offer a combination of rolling landscape and narrow fairways. Great bar and grille to have a burger and brews after play.
