Ruffled Feathers Golf Club

Ruffled Feathers is a Pete Dye course and it used to be in nice shape. I noticed about four years ago it had gone waaaaay downhill -- just horrible condition. Not much better now. I assumed back then the ownership change had gone awry, but that's no longer an excuse. Bunkers were atrocious. Greens were just OK. Fairways looked like they had been strip-mined in a 20th-century land war. And off the fairways...it looked like the course had been abandoned.

Even the outing we hosted was a mess. The pro shop was taking tee times after 10:30 for a 1:00 shotgun outing that had the whole course, so even at 1:45 there were non-outing groups still on the 12th (the 12th!) hole. On our first tee there were *four* groups on the same hole. We were on pace for a six-hour round when I gave up on the back nine.

What happened to this place? It's sad to see.

This course is charging a premium pricing for a course in rough condition. There are no rangers and they have singles out on a holiday weekend. We had a single lady that kept hitting into us with no where to go. With the course loaded with golfers. The staff was very nice but course really needs some attention. I can play ten local muni’s with better conditions for less $$$$

Greens are in the worst shape I’ve ever seen them in four years, and the pace was brutally slow.

I left after nine holes

Great course, great shape. If you haven’t yet played a Pete Dye course, it’s like a right of passage for golfers. Course management is key (even the drop zones are in tough spots), but the field is in great shape! Played back-to-back Friday and Saturday - would come back again Sunday if traffic back into the city wasn’t so awful.

RF is in very good shape right now. Greens were receptive as we played after a downpour of about 1/2 inch mid-day. Pace of play was very good - slightly over 3 hours as the tee sheet was pretty empty between noon and 1pm. $55 senior rate is a tad pricey but the layout and challenges (130 slope from the white tees!) this course presents make it worth the $55....but $45 would be about right mark. In addition RF do charge way too much for beverages - playing partner at the turn wanted a John Daly and that cost $10! All of the employees that work here were fantastic to interact with. I've now had 3 really nice experiences here this season and might even return in another month or so....recommend -if you're a first timer try to play with someone that has played the course. A ton of target golf involved on this Dye design.

Wonderful course, had a lot of fun - unfortunately it looked as though there was league play ahead of us - and appeared the course was overbooked. Waiting to tee off every hole from 6 onward, with group(s) lining up behind us as well. Was just a very crowded day - Sunday afternoon golf for ya. Would definitely go back another time.

It was hot and we didn't see a beverage cart until the back nine. No food available at the turn ( closed). I normally play this course three to four times a year. Today was a disappointing visit.

Poor sand and around the green conditions were bare to fluff with beat up conditions around the greens. The more I play it the worse it gets, but the staff is great.

Had a Friday afternoon tee time. Staff was great. Ended up getting behind some really slow groups. Going to happen since the course has a lot of wrinkles. I’ll play again but not late in the day

The course is very firm, much more than other courses in the area. Many greens the ball will bounce high in the air from a PW approach.

Pricey, but worth it. Very challenging but a lot of fun.

5.5 hr round on Saturday July 3rd with a tee time of 2:15 PM. Did not mention course had an amateur "Senior Golf Tour" event ahead of us until we got to the tee box. Told just prepare for a long day. Carts were not available one hour prior to our tee time so we could hit the range and putt. Course soaking wet despite no rain for a couple of days. Greens were solid. Course outlay very fair but challenging. A good test of golf for all abilities. Staff was overmatched and unable to provide services to the regular paying customer. At least that day. Disappointing!!!!
