Rawiga Golf Club

Our travelling group tries to play Rawiga at least 4 times per years. If we are lucky we play more. The course is well maintained, the staff is very accommodating and friendly and the green fees are good value.

Challenging course. Tight fairways, greens one of toughest been on. Can’t wait to play for second time next year.

Too many negatives - let me note a few.

Tee boxes are worse than goat track.

Greens beat up, unkempt and don’t roll true.

Only person working was rude and inconsiderate - that alone is enough to not come back.

Pass of play slow as molasses- 5 1/2 hours.

Although a decent layout not worth the aggravation at all !

Many better courses in the area that actually treat you nice.

I like the course and am generally happy here.

Not so much on this day. I went out as a single, and I don't mind getting paired up. .On this particular morning they put with a twosome, one of which had only been on a golf course one other time in his life. Needles to say play was very slow as he had little idea of golf protocol.

I don't mind that we all started out that way.

But the course was busy and our group quickly caused a backup. the group behind us began hitting into us., and the ranger was out there checking us out.

He asked if there was a problem and suggested that we needed to speed up. I explained the situation. but I was not given the option to continue play on my own.

so what should have been a 4 hour round turned into 5 hours and 45 minutes being pushed the whole way.

Very uncomfortable.

I stopped at the club house at the end of the round, to talk to them about this and pretty much got blown off.

All courses in NE Ohio are going to be busy when a 65 degree day in November comes along, that was expected. However, if a course is going to make it mandatory that you’re paired up with another two prior to teeing off then you should be notified when booking. I had no issues playing with another two-some and likely would’ve paired up while we were waiting on every hole along the way. I didn’t care for the course employee demanding that we paired up w a group that had a tee time 20 min prior to our scheduled time. After 5 holes we surpassed the 2hr mark and this was not due to our poor/slow play. We were behind a 3-some who were also paired up on the first tee, that was about 2 holes behind the next group. I paid for 18 holes and left the course after 6.One individual in our group phoned the clubhouse and advised them of the extremely slow play and an employee came out, but the situation didn’t improve. Severely mismanaged / over-booked and the repeated response I received from the course employee was that Golf Now was to blame for the booking and the course didn’t even benefit or make money from those bookings. Not what any customer wants to hear. If the course has issues with how Golf Now is handling their booking then they should take that up with them and not treat the customer as if they’re just the person in the middle and everyone’s hands are tied. I didn’t pursue a credit/refund/rain check because I already knew that the course employee would just suggest I handle that issue with Golf Now, and frankly you couldn’t pay me to play there again. I’ll chalk up the 6 hole $25 experience as a reminder to never again go back! If you enjoy watching folks walk around in the cornfield that borders the course searching for golf balls for 10 min each hole, then this is the place for you!

T boxes need to repair . Green is great shape fairway also need to clean up

Should have mentioned that the greens were being aerated on top if that we were only allowed to play the front nine as well as following a golf league . The clubhouse is terribly ran. Also to charge 2.50 for a .99 pack of hotdogs is absolute robbery will kot return no matter the cost.

One of the true hidden gems in Northeast Ohio. Rolling hills, fast greens and well manicured fairways. The rough is not too bad, but the greens are on the small side and difficult to hold unless you can really spin the ball.

This course has a great layout that challenges you from the tips. You need to work the ball both ways. Course is in decent shape. The only negative is that the tee boxes are pretty bad.

First time for partner. Hilly course, well maintained. Some grass cuttings residue on greens otherwise well maintained. Tee boxes good. Fairways good. All in all well maintained and good upkeep.

The layout here has potential to be one of the best in the area, as it has enough variation, the greens are smooth but difficult as they roll off all sides, and the fairways are mostly perfect. Conditions have definitely improved during the last few year.s. My only suggestion is that number 1 used to be number 10 when it was private, and is a pretty difficult start on that hole followed by the long par 3, whereas the current number 10 is straight and number 11 is a short par 3. I'd flip them back, get customers scorecards starting well, and save some abuse on the current front 9 so tee boxes can recover. Besides that, the employees are all nice and really are about the customer, fitting everyone in seamlessly even when busy, accommodating different skill levels, and making decisions to keep all players happy.
