Rancocas Golf Club

Pace of play was solid, dry town though which stinks. Overall great value and good conditions

Ever since this course was puchased by the ownership that also owns Golden Pheasant and The Links they have made this challenging golf track into a very good public golf facility with nice course conditions. Tee boxes were a little banged up, fairways were good as well as bunkers. Greens were in great shape and consistent if a bit slow ,letting them grow due to the heat. Wish golfers would fix their ball marks to keep the greens in top condition. Other then when they have outings and set up tents there is a lack of off course amenities, but they have done a RTJ track solid and Rancocas is a challenging track.

I would defiantly play again. The front 9 is challenging. High handicap players play slowly. The back speeds up a little and is more open.

Green conditions perfect.

Definitely walkable.

Nice staff. Sweet course booklet explaining each hole.

Driving range is to the right of the 10th tee box... not ideal. 10th fairway has range balls on it for the first 150 yards. Be careful hit range balls as you leave the 10th tee.

Course in good shape. Ruff is tough don't hit it there! 9 and 18 kinda quirky but fun. Pins were in tough places on Friday. In-laws stay on course so I play there when I visit from Illinois. If I lived there I join the 3 club thing they have going on. I recommend this course.

This course has a nice layout. Unfortunately the greens are a mess not only because people don't fix their ball marks. There was damage on almost every Green. Fairways were very inconsistent, some hard as a rock and some water loggged. On the 18th hole I hit my best driver of the day right in the middle of the fairway and had to contend with the sprinklers which soaked the ground completely and ruined my second shot.

RTJ Sr put together a nice one here,

great layout.

Course was in great shape, keep up the magnificent work grounds crew.

Starter was a pleasure to talk to, down to earth.

Practice facilities were keep up nicely.

I do like to walk all my rounds, but not able to before one pm. Kinda wish more courses would disclose this and apply a walking rate.

Overall a great experience.

Thanks

No beverage service on the course. Nothing at the turn at 3:00 on a beautiful Sunday. Nobody in the pro shop to sell a drink. My 3-some easily would have spent money on water, beer, hot dogs, but it wasn’t there.

Admittedly, the weather was wet and didn't help the cause during my round, but that had nothing to do with the terrible greens. Sandy, slow, pitch marks everywhere - like putting on a beach putt-putt course in the summer. Not acceptable for the rates they are charging.

Thursday morning with multiple rangers on the property, yet we were still stuck behind a very slow foursome for hours. The back 9 layout is suitable enough (despite hitting through telephone wires above), but the front 9 is truly cramped and winding. Simply was not enough room for 9 holes in that space.

If you can get a deal, fine, but find somewhere else to play if you can.

I really don’t know how this course even gets the play it does. The front 9 seems like they had room for 5 holes but figured out how to put 9 in.

The back 9 continues with a T Box on 10, blocked out on the left side by overhanging trees and the right is the driving range. The best hole on the back is 18 and the most ridiculous is the 17th. The 18th is a par 5 dog leg right. It’s nice because you have a target to hit over, fairway bunker, or play to the left and the hole gets longer. With a good T shot you can go for the green in 2. However, deep is in the woods and short is in the pond.

17 makes no sense at all as far as a golf hole goes. There is no good spot to hit your drive once you do make it through the high wires. Then is a series of humps and bunkers guarding the dog leg left fairway. From what? Bad T shots, lay ups, duffs, chinch’s? I knew I was in trouble after I checked in and the guy said “I have no idea what people do once they check in”.

The course was in excellent condition and staff was great. Only thing is that there is no clear marking of yardage, the tee boxes( had to look for senior tee). Better layout on the score card of the course. Only showed. Black and white tees and no clear yardage on the card. Still a great corse to come back and play.
