Rustico Resort Golf and Country Club

Very slow on the front nine. Greens are good but the rest of the course is in rough shape with lots of rocks just off the fairways. The bunkers are full of rocks. Cart we had died on hole 16. We had to walk the last 3 holes. When I approached a person at the club house at the end of the round, he said, "Oh, you should have just called us and we would have ran another cart out. We just ran a cart out to someone else". I just turned around and walked away without saying anything since he clearly didn't think it was a big deal. In a sarcastic tone, he said, "Have a nice day". Clearly customer service is not their strength. If I pay for a cart, I expect it to work the entire round. Too many other courses on PEI that would treat a person much differently.

Firstly it is a decent golf course to play, a lot of of open play and a lot of straight aways. But unless the Marshall and club house are on the same page don’t bother playing. Multiple groups of 5 played ahead of myself and my partner, making it difficult to even play through.. The Marshall stated he would split the groups the speed the play up. Tee times are only 4 minutes apart and when I requested a refund from the clubhouse for the back nine they were unaware of the groups of 5 playing on the course. So either the clubhouse knew about the multiple groups of 5 and not caring or were disorganized not communicating with their Marshall. Truthfully with the close tee times and the multiple groups of 5 it indicated pace of play wasn’t a priority as much as collecting a green fee.

The staff are friendly and know what they're doing. It's a resort so they have high standards of customer care. I mostly golf at the resort and have a meal now and then as a member. The golf course is in excellent condition. The pace of play ranges from slower to quick. Vacationers take their time...as to be expected. The tee boxes are easy to hit from. The fairways are kept short and the rough is easy to hit from. The bunkers are natural so rocks and pine cones will be normal. Rustico is a flat and straight forward course with plenty of challenge for all handycaps but not too challenging. Rustico golf resort puts on lots of fun tournaments for it's members. They have two pros that can fit clubs and give lessons. There is a driving range for practice. I recommend you check it out for a great experience at a very affordable price when visiting. Cudos to the staff that make it enjoyable to be there!
