Royce Brook Golf Club

Overall, great course. The rough is thick so easy to lose balls, so conservative play to say on the fairway is a must.

The course is in fantastic shape with exception of hole 10 (formerly hole 1 of East). Developers were running sewage pipe across the fairway so it was disruptive. Once past that, things were fine.

The newly revised Royce Brook Golf Course opened in May 2025. I just played last Friday and would highly recommend you booking a tee time!

The conditions were excellent! Greens were running around a 10 on the stimpmeter and in great shape. Fairways were well maintained. The rescue and rough were fully grown in so you really need to keep the ball on the short grass.

The course is playable for all levels and handicaps. There are some risk/reward par 4's and scorable par 5's as well as some challenging par 4's and par 3's.

You will enjoy the views as well! Come give Royce Brook a try. You will enjoy the experience!

Course was in good shape. The greens were rolling true.

First time playing the new layout. I was a regular at the old East Course, which I liked. The course is un-recognizable for players familiar with the East Course. There are two holes that are about the same - everything else on the east side is new or a mash-up of old holes. Can't speak for the experience from a West Course perspective as I never got to play it.

The greens were pretty rough. Below the quality you would expect based on historical conditions at this course and the price they charge. Watering was very uneven, with alternating lush areas and areas reminiscent of concrete. The holes themselves are pretty good, but it seems like they need more time and TLC to play well. The layout doesn't flow well and would be a nightmare to walk - long transfers from 9 to 10 and 15 to 16. Seems like they pieced holes together to suit whatever plans the housing developer made. Pretty depressing.

Finally, the experience is less polished. Gone is the gazebo with staff organizing carts etc. It's more a figure-it-out-yourself type vibe. I found a free cart with a key in it and got on with it. The practice range and green are rough around the edges. There was a starter, but that's the last staff we saw. The pace of play was pretty slow, as is often the case when afternoon golfers are left to their own devices.

This course might turn out to be a nice place to play at some point, but it needs work in many areas. Hard to imagine that it will ever live up to the experience it provided before they decided to ditch 18 holes in favor of houses.

I understand that the course is going through changes due to the ongoing housing project however there need to be better maintenance of the course. Tee boxes were in bad conditions, Fairways not maintained and the greens were full of bumps.

The ongoing construction did not provide a visual treat either.

Hope to see it improve the next time I play there

Great course and like the layout can be easy from the front tees and very difficult from the back so something for everybody.

Course was in great shape fairways where green and very nice greens where in very good shape there where a few bad spots for all the work being done there this course is awesome.. will be back again ( in a year with the way they are working on this place it’s going to be a gem )

Always loved this course layout and happy they reopened. Great value.

Course in great condition. Good pace of play. Good eats and drink at the halfway house.
