Rancocas Golf Club

Played in 90 degree weather, and there was no water on the course. When calling pro shop to report, was told that they were short on staff. On a weather day like that, more attention should have been paid to keeping people hydrated.

If your good enough to hit the green with an approach shot. You should also have the ability to repair your ball mark. Unfortunately it's not just this course, it's most of south Jersey's public courses. Not much the course can do to help it. That falls on the golfers responsibility. Pace was unusually slow this day, but the course was in average shape. The price from Golf Now is what made it worth the trip.

Greens rolled okay but many were beginning to be infiltrated by crabgrass and there was significant ball mark and spike mark damage in places. Dead spot the size of a basketball on the first green.

Fairways and collars were inconsistent because they had two very different strains of grass which varied from one area to the next. One type was wide bladed and very spongy and the ball sat up like it was on the tee, the other being more tight and firm.

Bunkers have good quality sand but they are full of small rocks and pebbles that wind up all over the greens.

Nice layout though the greens were a bit small and most of the pins were placed too close to the edges of the greens which slowed the pace of play.

Played on a saturday at 2pm. Pace of play was 4:45. Waited on every tee and there were often two groups waiting on the tee, ranger doesn't have the stones to keep on top of these issues.

Not sure how this course is rated as high as it is. Nothing stood out to me as being above average.

The good layout and greens or held back by the small Tee's and poor bunker conditions.

Great design. Good condition. Challenging but playable by the average golfer. Pace was good, managed by the ambassador in a courteous manner. Well worth the price.

Rancocas has become my new favorite course. It is challenging, in nice shape and has a little of everything. Water hazards, doglegs, lots of trees and heavy rough. Sand traps could be better as some were pretty hard and compact. Wish there was more drinking water on the course. No refreshment carts on the course.

Will definitely go back.

Great bargain and very well maintained course. Hidden gem in the heart of New Jersey

Course was in very good shape. The only annoyance was the grounds keeper putting down a spread that left golf ball sized white objects in wake of spreader. Made it hard to spot your ball,

This was our second visit. We love the course, condition, fairways and overall condition was great. But this time there was a tournament which we were not aware of and made play very slow. All the foursomes were drinking and partying. All waste containers were filled with beer bottles etc. This was a day with my grandson and I was very disappointed for him. When booking I suggest they let you know of events going on . I probably will return but not as soon.

We were a twosome that had the 5:16am tee time, the first of the day. After playing a 90 minute front nine, we hit a log jam at 13. There were 4 groups on one hole and it took over 2 hours to play the final 5 holes. Why are groups being sent off of the back?Also, the maintenance people starting mowing the greens and moving the hole locations as we were hitting. This is unheard of. Golf? This was not golf. Needless to say, we won't be back

Course was in good shape. In my opinion the place was overbooked. A foursome 2 groups in front had a terrible rate of play. Rangers said nothing to them but as soon as the 8:25pm cart return time hit they were quick to kick us off the course after 13 holes.

The course was good but got rained out after 12 holes

played on a deal on 6/14 and was certainly not wowed.. While the layout is pretty nice... the greens were slow and spongy and the fairways the same. For the money we paid it was okay but if you are a top golfer looking for fine golf, this is surely not it...

For 18 and a cart it's hard to beat this course for price. The fairways reward quality tee shots as much as the rough, which is quite thick, punishes poor ones.

The course is nice, if you ever get to play all of it.
They didnt tell us there was a youth tourney in the first 5 holes in front of us. Played 4 holes because of them. No starter. Staff is not friendly in the least bit. They don't allow carts after 6pm even though on golfnow it says they are included. BYOB.

Excellent course for the money always a good challenge.

First time playing this course this year but been here a number of times in the past. The greens are in bad shape. For example, on the 8th I ended up hole high with a slick downhiller. After delicately tapping the ball I watched in disbelief as the ball zigzagged toward the hole and eventually went off line. I would not play this course without a hot deal.

Just played Rancocas and was thrilled with the condition and how fast the greens were. Never realized they had soo much break before. I hope they keep them that way because RTJ Sr designed the course with that in mind. A wonderful layout with back and front 9's completely different. A must play before summer heat gets the best of the course.

I usually play here once a week, and on this particular day I was told the greens were recently cut & rolled and were quick, and boy they weren't kidding. It made for a fun and challenging day of putting, but once I dialed in the speed of the greens I was putting lights out. They ran true (had 9 one putts). I highly recommend this course, it's both challenging and fair and the staff is super friendly.

Played here before. Good challenge,conditions were great,quick greens today.
