Ruffled Feathers Golf Club

Course is in great shape except for the traps.

Many sand shots require rake and place. Not the end of the world.

I want to start off by saying i really enjoy the layout of this course and one of the starters was really nice, but the pace of play and the price is absolutely ridiculous. I live near the area and i have played this course plenty of time, and i have never played at even a reasonable pace. The course condition isn't horrible but most of the bunkers aren't even worth hitting out of, they are practically concrete. I had to group up with the two guys in front of me because i would have been waiting 10 minutes on every tee box. We still ended up waiting on 4-5 minutes every hole. We got to 17 and the sun was beginning to set, the starter who was unbelievably nice and respectful told us it was ok to finish up. We hit our tee shots and then one of the rangers (older in age) told us that we were done and we couldn't finish the hole. While they allowed the group in front of us to tee off right after telling us to finish. We really just wanted to finish 18 and the sun didn't set yet so we teed off real quick after the group in front of us. Less then 5 minutes later while finishing up the hole the ranger was yelling at us and being very disrespectful. We were trying to be reasonable with him but he wasn't being remotely cooperative. I won't be coming back here anymore, regardless of being yelled at for finishing one hole I wouldn't come back due to price and pace of play.

No rangers • Saw beverage cart once + no drinking water available on course on a hot day • Bunkers hard dirt w/standing water • Tee boxes abysmal • Cart paths abysmal

*Hot Deal on a weekday was $65. Probably not worth it. Weekends over $100? Absolutely not.

Starter was really nice though!

See my previous reviews of Ruffled Feathers earlier this season. Very improved over the last several years and I highly recommend......strong challenge for any golfer but very entertaining.....good shot values. Staff at RF are all wonderful....they go out of their way to make your day great even if you're not playing well.

Our round was marred by a two of extremely slow playing 4-somes and two some of newbies directly ahead of us playing the wrong tees.....(play a tee forward here to enjoy yourself the middle tees are still a 133 slope).. This is not the usual most weekday afternoons. Usually you can get around RF in 4 hours or under.....

A6 hour round ruined a great weather day. Greens in poor shape, tee boxes are chewed up. Never saw a ranger. This is the second time this year that pace of play ruined our day. The first time we quit after 3 1/2 hour front nine

Fun to play, the course layout is interesting. I played here a few years ago but didn’t remember there were a lot of big a55 mansions along the fairways back then. Things changed in last few years for sure. Pete Dye is a genius. The course is in a bit of rundown from its glorious days but is still in a decent shape. Whoever owning this gem needs to put more money into it.

For the price of this course I had high hopes and they were not met. This is my first review but the price point in 30-50% too high. The course is dry and not well maintained. The bunkers aren’t in great shape.

See my other reviews of RF below. Other than some slow play we had a very nice day. Every employee you interact with have a great attitude and they want you to have a good time. Most greens were micro punched recently and will recover for some wonderful late season conditions - balls still are rolling very smoothly.. The locker room and bathrooms have been renovated and after probably 20 years of being a neglected swampy pit the hidden pot bunkerat the back of the 13th green now has sand it. And most of the other traps are decent. RF always provides good shot values and fun putting. Play it you won't be disappointed..

Ruffled Feathers is very challenging and fun course. Has lots of water , sand traps and fescue on the front nine. The front nine is very challenging and have to keep the ball in play with the sand and water often challenging drives so. The. Back nine is more open and allows for more irons after tee shots . Fun and sporty back nine with very good greens. Will play again.

No sand in the bunkers, just hard dirt (I know, don’t hit the ball in ‘em). Some tricky holes, blind shots - either get GPS or offer yardage guides/books. No idea where or how far to hit some tee shots. And this isn’t the course’s fault but holy cow there were a lot of unfixed ball marks on the greens. I fixed at least 5 plus mine on every hole and it didn’t make a dent. And lastly, I think the designers were in a bad mood when the drew up some of these greens. Huge swales/drop offs that you don’t know are there if you haven’t played the course. Fairways & tee boxes were in great shape.

RF treads off the Pete Dye name and that’s about it. Unfortunate because the bones of the course are great. But the condition of the fairways, greens, and bunkers consistently leaves a lot to be desired. Inconsistency and/or neglect are the only ways to describe. Simply not worth the money.
