Great layout but needs work

Played early morning by myself. There was a threesome behind me but the started didn't think to have me join them. Fortunately I was able to play through a few groups. The course has a great layout. The greens are very nice but a tad slow. A couple greens need some repair. Tee boxes were in poor shape. Lots of weed grass in the rough. Fairways are ok. Not bad value for $55.

slow play

Until now I've never been to a course where slow play is encouraged. Here it is celebrated. I will never play here again.

Slowest playing course within 50 miles

Between the senior citizens tapping in for.a 12 on every hole or the alcohol fueled nitwits with ballcaps on backwards, there's not another course in the Tampa area that celebrates slow play quite as well as RW.

Fun round

Course is in nice shape and it has a very good layout. No two holes are the same. Only drawback was they had group of 7 in front of us. Yes 7. Made for much longer day than should have been.

Doug

Layout of course is great and greens are in great shape. The tee boxes and fairways are super dry. For a country club it should be in better shape. Played about 6 months ago and was in same shape. Do not recommend
