Great place to play

Always a nice place to play. Condition is pretty good overall. The only complaint is the greens are rock solid and to land a ball is nearly impossible. I get the whole lynx course but throwing a 60 straight up in the air and the ball rolling off is just silly.

Flat Fairways, Undulating Greens

Have never played a links course before so this was interesting. Wide, treeless fairways and very undulating greens that were huge. Some bunkers and barrancas in the way here and there. Course was in pretty good shape. Could have used better signage in spots for next tee box. I thought it was pretty slow for a Wed.; 5 hour round. Will try it again. Good deal.

Wish I could putt

Course was in great condition. Greens were rolling true. The greens are treacherous and a 3 putt is an easy thing to accomplish. Local knowledge of the greens goes a long way with this course, suppose I’ll just have to play a few more times

Fairways need water

Lots of dirt areas in the fairways and could try to soften up greens some just to make it hold alittle great layout but greens are like the clowns mouth or wind mill on putt-putt course there Undulating enough now just soften them up a bit

Great Value and Layout

Definitely one of the best value courses I've ever played. Layout is great and course has lots of character and style. Conditions were good but not quite five star as the greens were at times a little fuzzy and inconsistent speeds. Also fairways had some bare spots here and there but those issues were relatively minor. Tee boxes were in good condition and bunkers were pretty well filled and maintained. Only really review courses if they're shocking in good or bad ways and this was definitely a good one

Good Track

Nice course, ample landing areas for tee shots, and overall good conditioning. The greens are very challenging with a lot of slope and large foregreens which provide an optical illusion of where the pin is in the green.

Solid course

Good price, love the layout - no water hazards, but lots of bunkers you have to play around. Relatively flat course, but has some elevation on the back 9 that makes it interesting. Carts have range finders too which is legit

Fairways need some work, Always windy

This a scenic course, with challenging greens. It always seems to be windy, as it is in a large canyon. Staff is getting friendlier (they used to be the crabbiest bunch in the business!)

Not their best, but still love the course

We love Rustic, we've played here many times. However, on Sunday, the pace of play was horrible. We started at 1pm and didn't finish past 15. There was SO many people put out at the same time it was 15 minutes waiting between shots. Also, I understand we're in a drought, but the fairways have gone down significantly in the last few months. We played here about 3-4 weeks ago and the fairways have really gotten dry since. I would love to say we'll go back anyway, but that pace of play was really bad. AND Rustic has all these signs around saying to be watchful of the pace of play, funny since they pushed tons of groups out all together to sit and wait. It was painful.
