RSJ
I started playing this course over the summer and it has become one of our rotation courses. Love this course. There is a drainage issue on a few holes but they share that with you prior to the round. Not perfect but 4+!
Great Staff
While this course might be your usual muni, the staff was first rate,
Improvements
Punching fairways and heavy watering, Mosquitos are prevalent as a result. Greens are excellent and T boxes are a work in progress. Overall good value, played in 4 hrs.
RSJ
Course tends to play slow, decent conditions but overpriced now. Short holes but the difficulty of the greens make it play tough. Consistently put the pins in terrible spots on slopes that make no sense.
Massively Overpriced
This course shouldn’t be priced anywhere near $100 per round. Absolutely obscene pricing for conditions and layout. For a mini course that is supposed to be friendly play, should be priced between $42-60 per runs as it was previously. Nothing new about it. Please change the pricing.
Gotten wirse
Have been playing here for 7 years. Fairways are as bad as I have ever seen them. Greens are very good. At $55 during week fair price for this place
Pace of play kind of spoiled the round. Foursome in front incredibly slow despite not being bad golfers.
Decent/subpar course
First time playing here and I paid $40 to start at 5:42 and ended up starting at 6:05 just to play 7 holes because there were no marshals or starters pushing the pace of play. (played +4 through 7)
Guy managing the pro shop is just sitting in the back not paying attention to anyone coming in.
Of the 7 holes,Tee boxes were in good condition. Fairways are pretty wide and have a variety of grass conditions (really good, decent, dirt) I'd say most of it was a bit better than decent. Rough isn't very wide so if you miss you'll be in either a dirt path or hitting into another fairway.
Design of the course is decent. A majority of the course is flat and is pretty easy.
Would only recommend this course if you are either a beginner or are looking for a cheap course and don't mind a 5-6 hour round.
Avoid
I used to play this course a lot back in the late 1990s and early 2000s. I actually like the layout. The only bad thing back then was the pace of play. I guess that will never change. Now it’s not only the pace of play but the course conditions. Golf should never take 5.5 to 6 hours to finish a round. You should never hit from dirt or a hole or a pond (from over watering) from the middle of the fairway.
I see these 4 star ratings from these “mystery” usernames. Do not trust those! You’ve been warned!!!
10th hole Ocean
Besides few holes fairway fixing has been done. With hot weather not why we had ponds and oceans on 10th hole.
Since we had semi beginner on our group, sorry for slower pace....
Slow pace of play & cart GPS too restrictive
About 1/4 holes are cart path only which is weird for summer.
On the holes where carts are allowed, the cart GPS kept telling us to back up but WE WERE LESS THAN 100 YDS AWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FAIRWAY!!
It's like not having a cart and everyone in front of us were slowed by having to go back and forth for clubs. We were about 1.5 groups backed up.
