Not worth it

Bunkers neglected so bad it makes the course look like a garbage pit. More like a $30-$40 course not $100. Play elsewhere

Not what it used to be

This used to be a really nice course. I last played here in March and was shocked to see how far downhill this course has gotten. Most bunkers didn't even have sand and lots of grass and weeds growing in them. Greens were a bit chewed up, same with many teeboxes. Not even a starter to watch the pace of play (which had a kids tournament ahead of us, so 5 hr round). Not sure what the plans are for RB but they're obviously putting in minimal maintenance.

Clay Traps

Sad to see the way sand traps have been completely neglected on this course -- there is literally no sand! Quite a few traps were small ponds. The course has a lot of traps, and none of them had any sand, not even the traps around the greens. It's a shame because the rest of the course is in very good shape. This situation with the traps has been going on for years now, just getting worse. Without sand in the traps, a round of golf here should not be over $35 with cart, and it is routinely a lot more.

Course is in good condition, greens are great, fairways are great, bunkers are terrible, more of a $30-40 course. Will be back

Pathetic!!!

This course is known for its bunkers. But not a single one of them has been maintained in what seems like years. It's impossible to play off them. They are going to build houses on the scores next year and so they do not care at all. The pace of play was terrible. No ranger in sight. It's a good thing that they're getting rid of this course. Don't bother...

Great layout for this course that must have been a gem in its day. Fairways and greens in good shape but the numerous bunkers that are key features of the design, have not been maintained and several were inundated with water from recent rainfall. Disappointed but still a fun round overall .

No sand

Sand traps were mostly filled with water or muddy.

Front 9 moved along well but somehow the back was all back up.

Course in bad shape

It’s the first time I played this course.

I gave it a below average rating, because the car path is in terrible shape, and all the bunkers had no sand ,just large holes with rainwater and mud.

Fairways and greens were in good shape and I enjoyed playing my short a long game.

I would enjoy coming back at a future time once the bunkers and Carpas are in a better

Bunkers

This was one of my favorite courses. The bunker upkeep wasn’t so good two years ago and seem to have gotten worse. Until some care is made on this I would not recommend it. The outside restaurant area has also not been kept up
