The general manager could use a class or two in customer service. Other than that, great course.

This is a difficult course for a high handicapper. Some holes are insane. One hole, that I will refer to as the saddle back, was reduced to perhaps a 20 yard gap with the two sides of the fairway closing in and rising up with traps to squeeze you even more. If you carry that, the landing area drops down in front up a raised green. Course layout requires long walks from the end of where carts are allowed to greens. This really slows down play. Greens were not in the best of shape - patches of weeds on the greens required moving your ball to be able to have a fair line to putt over.

I played this course for the first time on 5/17/24, and found it to be super challenging, yet fair, and a real mental test. It is hands down in my top five ever, akin to Erin Hills in Wisconsin. And the price is incredible!

Great course design! Lots of elevation changes, blind shots, and shots over very large vegetation hazards. Missed drives are likely lost balls, so plan to lose a lot of balls. Too difficult to play more than a very few times a year at my skill level (mid 20’s handicapper, just getting back into it after a few years off), otherwise I’ll be single-handedly keeping Cut Golf Balls in business.

They should play a Walker, Ryder or Presidents Cup here.

Course is amazing. Beautiful layout. Difficult but fun, lots of blind tee shots. Greens are the only thing lacking. Poa annua all over the greens and lost of wear marks. Still so much fun to play

Greens were in good condition and very fast. Course tees and fairways were fair. Very challenging but fair. Micheal Strantz designs are incredible.

Course is in horrible condition, bare tee boxes, greens are full of poa annua that sticks up about 1/8" making the greens like pin ball tables. Such a shame because this place used to be fantastic. Mike is rolling in his grave.

The longest round I ever played, and I’ve been playing for over 50 years. Obviously the staff there have no interest in managing the pace of play. . there were a couple of groups holding up the entire course. They should’ve been kicked off the course. The course itself is very cool, but I doubt I will ever go back there again, unless it’s under new management.

Challenging but fun. Other than the greens which has some crab grass growing in some spots, the course was in great shape. Always enjoy playing RNK.

Beautiful course but very challenging!! Greens are difficult but need to be cleaned up just a bit. Overall wonderfully difficult course. Would go back tomm!!

A lot of the greens are unputtable. Growth on greens needs to be solved before you fork over $70+ for a round.

First time played in April. Course has amazing layout. First 2 holes and last 2 holes were very challenging. Everyhone has amazing views and challenges. Fairways and rough were a little dried out but may just be time of year. Most greens in good conditions with true rolls. It was pretty windy when I played. Would love to go back. I recommend getting the course layout book in the proshop. If it’s your first time there.
