Extremely disappointing

Extremely disappointed with the experience at Rawls Golf Course. I left my range finder in the cart after my round, and when I contacted the staff immediately after, they claimed it was never found. I know for a fact it was left in the cart, and the lack of urgency or concern from the staff was alarming. I strongly believe one of the student workers took it, and the course is now turning a blind eye. This is unacceptable and reflects very poorly on the integrity of the staff. I won’t be returning, and I’ll be warning others to keep a close eye on their belongings here.

Great course, but no bunker shots allowed today!

It was the first time playing here, and we had a great time! I would definitely come back to play…

A great challenge

Loved the course and the facilities. Definitely need to get there early and warm up. Rewards accuracy, and a green in regulation is the only way to make par.

Tons of deer poop everywhere and got very windy. My playing partner referred to it as a “haboob” (dust storm - winds near 50mph).

Bunkers were trash again!

Bunkers were in pretty good shape about two months ago and now they’re just trash again. Besides being hard and tight there were continuously footprints everywhere because I guess people don’t think you have to rake your bunkers after you hit out of them. Pace of play was absolutely horrendous, employees ride around in golf carts but nobody’s hurrying people up specially, when a group of four men are messing around and looking for golf balls in the weeds! This type of service would be acceptable at $30 a round public course. Employees were friendly as usual.
