Royal Lakes Golf & Country Club

Been playing this course for 30+ years, luv the layout but played yesterday and their greens have dead patches all throughout, bordering on unputtable

Greens need a lot of work, but the rest of the course was fine.

This use to be one of my favorite courses. What happened to the greens?! Some areas not even playable . Shame to see such a nice course go down so low.

Played Royal Lakes many times but this was one of the worst experiences in respect to Green's condition. So many dead patches everywhere that you simply couldn't putt. It's too bad that this challenging course let all of their greens to be like that. Will not be back at least until the Greens are completely healed.

It’s just a shame that such a creative layout is ruined with the conditions of the greens. You shouldn’t collect $70 green fees with sub par greens. Discount the fee, acknowledge your turf issues and work on improvements for goodness sake. There was only one green that would pass as acceptable. They putted so slowly that one has to “pound” a 6 foot uphill putt. Words can’t describe how terrible they are compared to the many course alternatives in the region.

Enjoy my round of golf, greens were in terrible condition. But I did not get a discount for the poor condition of the greens. I do not think they will get any better anytime soon.

Will play again but maybe in the spring.

Sand dirt and rough grass, we can’t blame this on aeriration. Red dirt in sand traps. The greens are totally gone. It looks like the owners have lost interest in maintaining this property. I played this coarse many times several years ago and it was going in the wrong direction.

There is a reason no one was playing on a beautiful day. Look for a For Sale sign soon.

경치는 아주 좋았지만 잔디관라가 안되서 골프장이 아깝다는 생각이들었다.특히 그린이 전혀 관리가 안되서 완전 엉망이였다.정말 실망했다.

경치는 너무 아름다웠다...

특히 구글지도를 보고 갔는데 하이웨이에서 도착했다는 안내소리가 나와서 정말 황당했다.

985N방향으로 16번에 나가서 라이턴후 직진 5분정도 하다보면 Kroger이 보이는데 거기에서 좌회전하면 골프장이 보인다.

The course is in generally poor condition and the greens are in terrible condition. They are aerated, but also every green has bare/dead spots that cover 20-40% of the area. I have enjoyed the course in the past, so hope they can fix these issue.

Used to love this course. The layout and staff are still great; however, the greens are in tough tough shape. Not worth $60.

I really like to play this course. Each hole has its own character. I wish that the greens were in better shape, but the fairways and tee boxes were pretty good.

This is a beautifully designed course: rolling hills, great water hazards, etc. Unfortunately the course is in very poor shape. The greens were covered with black spots that would cause your ball to deviate, the cut grass was left in the fairway (my ball managed to find a clump of mud and grass that had been cut and left, stopping my ball before the green). It was sad to see. So much potential yet such poor maintenance. The cost for 9-holes was close to a better courses 18 holes. I expected more and was disappointed. The staff were friendly though.

I'd love to give this course a higher rating. The tee boxes, fairways and area outside the fairways were in really good shape. Sand bunkers need some attention.

Shallow and hard. HOWEVER, the greens are terrible.

Clearly mismanaged somehow as clearly a fungus has overtaken and mostly ruin the green surfaces. This will hurt your play here and over time the courses revenues.

Evidently, they use fairly stagnant water from the many lakes onsite that are full of fertilizer and chemicals.

Management / owners need to resolve this as it seems to be an ongoing issue for the past 2-3 years. This could be a premiere course. Fix and manage the greens!! Don't make

excuses.

I feel bad for this golf course. They are super friendly and have a neat layout, they lost their greens. There are large brown patches all over every green. Additionally, we had 3 groups on the tee at #12. Played the front in just under 2 hours, but the back was painfully long. I won’t return. There are better courses in the area.

To be fair, tee boxes and traps are in good shape.

Greens are in very poor condition. Brown or dirt areas on most greens.
