Rancocas Golf Club

Have played here about 10 times in the past 2 years and the course has not been in as a good a shape as it was today. Aside from 2-3 lumpy tee boxes they were in great shape and maintained. The greens were in great shape except for 2, one which was under construction and 10 that was practically covered in divit markings. The fairways were nice and short throughout and the rough was not as long and lumpy as it has been in the past. Took notice on the back 9 that they had removed lots of dieing trees, in the future making it a little easier for those who don't hit the fairway able to recover a little more! Overall, always happy with the value when I leave, but noticed a large improvement.

Greens were in pretty good shape, fairways a little beat up, but OK. Overall it was worth the cost.

Course has allot of maintenance being conducted. The buckers has mud and a large number of green are under construction around them. The tee boxes has a large hill in middle which requires you to tee ball on side close to teebox markers..

It's winter condition so you cannot expect too much but you can never find a flat spot on the tee boxes. Sand bunkers are terrible

I have played this course twice now; 1 summer, 1 fall. I like the layout and the range/practice facilities are good overall. I'm sure this place gets pressured given the location, reasonable rates and layout. That said, this weekends round we found the tees and fairways were ok, however the greens were in rough shape (Wait?! construction cones on the front of one green with a front pin location?!) likely from heavy use, drought conditions and reduced post-season maintenance. Even if the weather holds a bit more this fall-winter, it's time to give this one a rest.

Hadn't been to this course in 15 years. It wasn't good 15 years ago and, unfortunately, it's gone further downhill. We chose this because it was close to the office and the tee time fit with our schedule. Beyond that, it was a big mistake. We left after 14 holes.

The pace of play is the worst I've ever experienced. A minimum of three groups on every hole. It was worse on the back 9. The tipping point was our last hole - four groups on the hole, while the ranger sat next to the tee box and didn't move an inch.

It was dry and sunny on the day we played, as well as the day prior. However, the fairways were as thick as rough and the tee boxes were uneven and mostly dirt. How could the course allow these conditions?

Something tells me it doesn't matter how poor the reviews are for this course. It won't change for the better. So, do yourself a favor and don't play here.

Great layout. Used almost every club in my bag.

Staff is exceptional, and the course was fun.

This is a tree lined old classic course with lots of character and challenge. From the middle tees you can use a 3 wood off the tee on many holes and be a full club away from the stick. You don't need a driver on every tee. The greens are in very good condition for late August so they must take the time to keep them watered. I am a low single digit hcp. and love to play this old course. Although it's tree lined, the fairways are plenty big enough to hit and being in the rough isn't a par breaker. Over all it's well worth the money. The only bad thing is some of the local players are as dumb as a cinder block. They will back the course up 20 minutes takin their good old time moving along to the first tee. My home course would make you wait for the next open spot if you can't make the assigned tee time. But all in all , I will be back again, I love this place for the money. Dave in Bensalem, Pa.

GolfNow do not mention the greens were aerated tee boxes were just dirt the greens crew were rude the course is just horrible

Booked time on-line at great rate but current aeration was not mentioned. With fairways burned out well-watered greens could have made the round somewhat enjoyable but aeration prevented than. Very disappointing on-line reservation.

Booked a Friday 7:08 am 18 hole with cart tee time via GolfNow for $25. This seemed very suspicious because normal early morning tee times are $56+.

At hole 1, we learned from the starter that an outing was scheduled for mid- morning. HUH? How could that be if we were starting at 7:08 am? Was the outing a small one that was going to shotgun on the back-nine to start? Starter couldn't answer our questions.

No one was on the entire course except one threesome ahead of us…….until the 5th hole. All of a sudden golf carts filled up all of the holes in front and back of us due to the outing. In fact, many of the holes were double filled with players; two foursomes instead of one foursome! Needless to say, our pace of play instantly went to turtle speed.

The threesome ahead of us called up to the ProShop to complain. A ranger showed up to offer the threesome and our twosome a complimentary round of golf if we wanted to leave. However, when asked if the comp round was for any weekday INCLUDING a cart like it should, the ranger stated "nope---not at all". We told the ranger the comp offer was unacceptable and further commented the Rancocas ProShop should be ashamed of themselves for scheduling an outing and scheduling normal play at the same time in order to maximize tee time sales! We told the ranger we would play on and would NOT HURRY our play or take the shoddy comp golf offer for the benefit of the outing players in front or behind us.

Rancocas Golf course has a BAD reputation for scheduling too many players on a course at any given time; particularly on the weekends. A typical round of golf at Rancocas will take at least 5 hours; possibly more; to complete because of the many players and these players playing very slowly. What can a ranger do if the ProShop has schedule too many people out on the course? Very little!

Be very wary about playing Rancocas if golf round completion time is important to you. If you do decide to book a tee time, be sure to bring a pack of cards so you can play cards while waiting to tee off at every hole.

Always enjoy playing here. Good conditions along with roaming wildlife.

All is good! Play every Wednesday due to the reasonable price to pay and course is in great shape!!!
