Great course
Practice facilities were nice; greens were hard and fast; homes along the fairways with OB stakes, but not in the way; plenty of room to grip it and rip it. I’ll definitely be back.
Bring the Driver
Played from the whites as a duo. Picked up a member who was teeing off after us as a third. He was great giving us guidance on how to play the course. Shout out to Dave! Course is long with big open fairways. If you are moderately straight, the course is a blast! We were full swinging all day. Greens are a bit fast, but predictable both in chipping and putting. I'll be back sooner rather than later
Fun time
I was very impressed with course conditions. Greens are fast but immaculate for the most part. Course plays long but is fair if you’re hitting well.
Well maintained
Very good course and well maintained. Course was very dry which led to fast fairways and harder than normal greens.
Starter sent me off early by myself and two groups allowed me to play through. Very nice membership. I finished in under 3 hrs on Sat pm .
NICE COURSE!! WILL BE BACK!!
2nd time playing this year since on GolfNow. Really nice course, great conditions and facilities (including chipping, putting and range). Nice layout (quite long!). Was a little slow on a Saturday afternoon, but still finished in about 4.5 hrs which is reasonable considering the timing. Will be back!
Great value, solid conditions
Great deal included fees, cart and range balls. Range was in good condition with plenty of grass. Short game area was great- huge putting green and short game area.
Course was in pretty nice shape. Plenty of good lies from the fairway. Greens were in good shape. Firm ground but a tad slow but definitely playable.many bunkers were shallow and firm, but not terrible. Only complaint was with our 130 pm tee time the water coolers were empty and we only saw the bev cart once. Otherwise, solid and I’ll be back.
Each staff member was friendly and helpful. Found a new gem for myself.
Good for the right price
The course was solid other than the compacted sand in the bunkers and a little sand like substance on the greens. Overall it was a good track. The free range balls made the value that much better.
Great course! Glad to have been able to try a private course
Great course, glad they are offering member for a day programs. Course was wide open, was able to play at our own (Fast) pace. with no one around. Course was well taken care of
Return to Glory!
This Joe Lee signature design course
(think of courses his thumb print are on, like -

Bay Hill Club & Lodge - Orlando, FL. Hosts API.
PGA National - Palm Beach Gardens, FL.
Callaway Gardens - Pine Mountain, GA.
Doral, Blue Monster - Miami, FL.
Warwick Hills G&CC - Grand Blanc, MI.
Hosted Buick Open) has returned to very good condition.
The staff and bar / restaurant team do an excellent job of welcoming you in a relaxed environment. Greens are in excellent shape and the course work is improving.
Nice work RHCC!
Not too difficult
The course is in excellent condition aside from the bunkers, which play like packed gravel. The greens roll very true and are quick.
The course is not very difficult. We were debating whether to play the 6400 yard tees or the 5900 yard. We chose the shorter tees based on the 130 slope. However, as 2 - 68 year olds we would play the 6400 next time.
Very Nice course
I really enjoyed this course. The greens were nice and rolled true. Layout was very challenging and the phase of play was perfect.
Great course
Excellent layout, amenities and a great staff. Was a slower day due to being a bit on the cool and cloudy condition. Played in 3.5 hrs. The course was one of the best I've played while im snowbirding here between han and april.
