Greens are very good

Fairways are dry and greens were slower this time compared with the past visits. Course design is good.
Staff and service fantastic, prices on shirts was very good. Scorecard is excellent and tells the best part of each hole to place your drives. If you can place your ball then you can score well. Very nice scenery. We saw a couple deer each time we visit.

Never boring!

Like most challenging courses, the more you play it the funner it gets. This course is a little out of the way for us, about 1.25 hrs. But always worth it. Very unique layout no two holes are the same. Parts of the course cross over a running creek about 50 feet across. Holes 1, 9, 10, 12, 16 & 18. There are three other ponds to contend with as well. The course is always in playable municipal condition even though it is a semi-private course. Never seen a marshal, so it is a very relaxed course. They are sticklers for dress code but most adults don't have a problem with that. Recommend.

Disappointed

Played 4/3/15 and was very disappointed that the greens had at least an 1/16" of sand on all greens. In some places at least an eight inch. Didn't know when I booked on here and the pro during check in said not one word! I've played here several times since 1994 and it wouldn't have been so bad if I just didn't have our best customers that day!!!
Oh, and I got to pay full price!!!

Great Times

We had a great time course in pretty good shape they had punched them awhile ago not sure how long. So greens will be awesome in a week I would say. Most fairways were excellent again should be better soon. Had a great time will do it again.

Out of the way, worth the drive

If this course was closer to major metropolitan areas it would quickly become a favorite and probably switch back from semi to fully private.

Overall - 4(possibly five when in peak condition) Great location in a valley snuggled in the foothills. Views abound and most holes have no houses. Those that have houses are mostly out of play and not visually distracting. The river runs through many holes and is in play on several. The oaks are old and massive. The sycamores, which are uncommon for most of the valley, are also old and mature and give a beautiful framing to many holes.

Pace - 4 We played in just under four and I can not remember non-tournament rounds over five as typically the crowds are small.

Course conditions - 4 In very good shape for February. The early spring like weather is evident and all areas are filling in nicely with only a few dormant areas left. Greens smooth and rolling 10+.

Staff - 4 Very nice and unlike many semi-private courses they showed no difference in service to us as compared to members.

Value - 3 Off the rack average to high for the area (relative cost, in Nor or So Cal it would be a steal) but it is easy to get deals on GN

Food - 4 Being a club it has above average food and offerings.

Facilities - 4 Nice old clubhouse with a cozy feel and good views, that is well maintained. Large practice area.

Out of the way for many, but worth the trip.

Enjoyable Round of Golf

Found a deal on GolfNow and couldn't pass it up. This was my first time to play RI. Course was in good shape and the greens were great. I was paired with three friendly locals who helped me around the course. A few holes were somewhat challenging, but overall and from the white tees this is a very fair course for the average golfer.

Held up on hole 14

Golf game was going good until my partner & I encountered a jam at hole 14. There was a 5-some and a 3-some group playing really slow in front of us. This was on a Wednesday afternoon. I can only imagine how slow the play would be on a weekend.

Play it twice

The course was a little burned out due to it being the middle of summer but a great set up and very challenging. Take notes the first time you play so you know where to go the next time. Great greens and challenging

Great time with my son

Played 18 holes my son came along for the ride and had a great time. Greens were in the best shape I've seen in a long time, wish the fairways were a little greener though
