Bit slow as we were behind 2 two balls but one lot did allow us to play through on the 10th
Greens were slow but the course was in good nick , couple of bunkers were hard sand but the majority were ok
Course conditions
Greens very good. Some bunker hard (especially fairway bunkers) fresh sand required. Fairways OK.
Majority of tees the ground was hard.
I played this course 4 weeks ago, what a difference. As with some other courses they did struggle after all the rain, but they have managed to cut the rough down a lot, fairways and greens all OK. and nice to see greenkeepers out and about working,
Good course
Greens and fairways are in good condition semi rough can be a bit penalty in some areas tees are ok only thing lettings it down is the bunkers the ones in play are full of foot traffic and the rakes are in place so visitors are to blame but a lot are not in play.
Overall a good course for the price and worth playing.
Solid layout but needs some investment
Good layout.
Like the course.
Staff really good.
Rain kills it!! Boggy and wet throughout.
Bunkers basically unplayable.
Would love to see some cash going into drainage and putting in some sand.
Could be a great course some dat
Great course but very repetitive
This course is great value for money and to a very high standard, but felt like 10 holes were the same just long and straight and felt repetitive but defiantly carnt knock it for the money.
Still waterlogged
Me and my brother walked off after 9 holes! Way too wet to be playing on at the minute couldn’t even find your ball in the fairway. Ball just sunk in to mud
Slow play
Usually enjoy the course even in winter but this week our two ball was stuck behind a society who were the slowest golfers I have ever experienced, 5 hours it took us to get round due to the ridiculous pace of the 4 and three ball in front . We’re only mid handicappers shooting in the 80’s so I’m not claiming that we are super golfers but there was no consideration from the groups in front , taking over 5 minutes to find balls waiting till the group in front was 400 yds away before hitting their 180yd drives on every hole! Far too busy chatting and wandering from one side to another rather than getting on with it . They had plenty of opportunities to let us through and there was no one behind us but no.
Course closed due to someone slipping into the pond
Course closed apparently 5 mins before I arrived so my round was cancelled. Was offered driving range balls. Obviously wouldn’t have travelled 40 mins to go to the driving range. Disappointed.
Rother Valley GC
Needed an early tee time this Sunday and RVGC was the only course available. Played here lots of times over the years and is a good course and well priced. Interesting layout of holes, quite hilly in places. Greens are pretty good.
Obviously we have had a bit of rain lately so wasn’t expecting no mud but I was greeted with lots of mud! Nearly went flying on a few occasions. They really need to improve the drainage on this course, until then I’ve come to conclusion it’s mainly just a summer course!
Course conditions
A well laid out course with some challenging holes, unfortunate due to the rain the course was in a bad way. Standing water in the fairway, boggy mud around the greens causing good shots to be penalised.
Great course but should've been shut in those conditions, walked off after 9 holes.
Decent course, shocking condition
Played here a few times, but never seen it in such shocking condition. We expected it to be a little wet, as RV always struggles a bit after rain, but wow!
Mud was ankle deep, and ruined a good pair of golf shoes. The course was unplayable once you were off the tee. Greens were like quicksand in places, and the approach to greens were like playing in a bog. The condition of the course was worth at least 10 shots as you couldn’t get a club on the ball.
In my opinion, it should have been closed.
What a view
A very pretty course, with a good mixture of holes, really enjoyed the round - only negative would be the minor drainage issues at the low points, it can get a little boggy.
