Challenging layout

Enjoyed the course overall. Layout gives some variety. Challenging but not stressful. Bunkers haven't been maintained in a while, fairways could use some vitality. Greens were slow but ran true. Still good value.

Greens are much better

First time playing here this season and I have to say I was impressed with how well they've re-conditioned the greens. If you can find a good deal online this place is definitely worth it.

The rough is Rough!

Definitely a fun time, until you land in the rough. Got to be on point with hitting fairways and your golden at this course. The greens are great! Very challenging. We stopped to grab a hot dog and was told we have to eat in the cart while playing. That was a little odd, especially since the course was a ghost town that day. Other then that it was a fun time!

Decent course for the money

Rancocas is not the best course around the area but it's priced accordingly and you can't complain about that. I personally don't love the layout, especially the back 9, but again it's cheap and convenient.

I had a 9:40 tee time with my cousin. We got stuck behind a string of slow golfers but fortunately the weather was great. A third actually ended up joining us which was fine.

The conditions of the course were pretty well, especially for Rancocas. I recommend this course to anyone who just wants to get out for a few hours and not spend an arm and a leg.

Challenging

Played here a number of times. each time, is about the same. It's a tough layout. lots of bunkers and some are very firm making it difficult to play a standard sand shot. Must have good control of your tee shots to score well here. Will play again.

Awful

The greens were horrendous a week after aeration. The fringe around the greens is burned out on many holes. They've basically ignored the conditioning of this course for years. Not worth it.

Fun Course

Had a good time playing here. It was my first time playing this course. I enjoyed it very much. The course does not seem long or challenging when you look at it, but there is trouble all around. You have to be accurate. it is a fun course to play.

Course could use some TLC

The course was soggy but playable however the greens were not. Many of the greens had never ending gashes and the fairways at times were patches of grass.

Pretty Good

Course is in pretty good shape, some greens are spotty and the bunkers are in bad shape; but it is "winter". They are continuing to make improvements to the course so I think by late spring things will be in much better shape.

What happened to the greens?!

Beautiful December weather but can't say the same for the course. Lots of brown spots in the fairways and the greens were in terrible condition. They were littered with dead grass and dead spots so bad that they filled them with sand. For the amount of play that this course receives you would think the course would be better maintained, ie, where are the greens fees going towards? I will not play this course again until it starts to receive more positive reviews.

Slow!

I've played this course a few times now and I would not recommend it for anyone trying to get a quick round in. The tee times are every 8 minutes and they have been behind schedule on the first tee each time I've been there. There are a few par 4s that act like 3s so everyone bunches in a lot of spots. Took me 4 hours for 14 holes.

Ok experience for the value

Must have been a real jewel in its heyday. Course is a bit run down now. Fair layout and challenging but not a ball stealer. Parkland style with minimal rough and medium bunkering that has sand in need of a fill up. (Crusty dirt instead of sand in some cases). Staff was friendly. Course does not offer a 9 hole rate but golf now had $32 rate with a cart that was cheaper than the courses senior rate (I took my parents out and they are only up for 9 holes now at 75yrs young). Enjoyed the day and the layout..would have liked to see the condition a little better but hard to argue with the price. If you are looking for a 19th hole you need to bring it with you as the course is dry. Staff said BYOB is allowed and the carts all have coolers. Overall I would go back.

Long round

This was by far the longest round I have played all year.. I book early tee times to get done early and it was at least a 5 hour round. There were two holes in front of the slowest players I've ever seen in front of us.. And the Rangers to be fair try to hurry them up but were unable to make them speed up.. They should have held them up and let groups play through . It was not and ideal Sunday morning round and nobody can play a round of golf with any consistency under those circumstances

Ehh

This course isn't terrible so don't let the low start rating effect your decision on playing. It has a lot of doglegs but the course is not very long. We played in late September and it was pretty beat up. A lot of people who didn't fix divots, extremely slow rate of play (took just over 5 hours to finish), and very tight course so people are all over the place. Would not recommend playing again unless it was on sale for $25 or less.

Greens need major attention

We were sent off the back to start, only problem was we were waiting for the grounds crew on almost every hole, between the mowers, sprinklers, staff raking the bunkers and changing the hole location in the middle of our approach shots to the green it became very annoying. When we asked an employee on a mower why they let us on the back nine, he stated "this isn't trump national, this is a public course". Greens were almost laughable. Although we got a great Hot Deal is was not worth it. Won't be back

The Greens

I realize aeration is an integral part of course maintenance. I'm just hoping that the recent aeration of the greens at Rancocas hasn't done more harm than good to many of the greens that were scarred and had dead spots.

Everything was fine until the greens

The greens were in really bad shape, as they were being aerated. There was no heads up from anyone about this going on, which is a shame, because the course was in decent shape, otherwise. It was like trying to putt through mini-bunkers on the green, and in some cases, it was comical.

Course in good shape

Course in good shape. Recently aerated the greens so putting was a little adventurous. Tee box condition was the best I've seen in a long time. Fairways were in good shape also. Would definitely recommend the course right now - maybe give it another two weeks until the greens are back
