Ruffled Feathers Golf Club

we knew we were in for a long day when we got to #2 tee box only to see the foursome in front of us waiting on the tee. Not their fault. We called the club house. Never saw a ranger…..all day long. 5 minutes shy of a 5 hour round. Yeah, the $50 rate for seniors that includes a hot dog brings them all out. The course can play difficult if you pick the wrong tee box. Completely ridiculous pin placement on 5-6 holes didn’t help the situation. But no excuses for not playing ready golf and/or spending exorbitant time looking for balls. The course is just not being ‘managed’ properly when there is no one out there ‘shepherding’ folks. One player in our group left after 9 holes but not before getting ‘rain check’, so the pro shop was aware of the problem out there. Still no improvement on back 9. A nice layout but not worth spending half a day standing around.

We played an on/off rainy round with downpours at times. Course was in great shape! Forgot it was a late September round. Would love to go back and play! Top 10 course in the state!

Overall the course was in very good shape — other than the sand traps which were pretty bare and packed down. Actual distance was much shorter than scorecard— all tees seemed to be pretty far forward. Pace of play was a little slow but not unusual for a Saturday.

The course is well designed. All the traps were filled with water. Those that weren't were essentially hard pack. I will keep an eye on the news, but if they don't put money into maintenance there are better options nearby.

Not worth the cost.

Slow play.

Chopped up tee boxes

No sand in the bunkers

No one fixed their divots on the greens

High grass cutting. I thought I was playing in the masters

Course not maintained well

I’ve played this course 1-2 per year for past four years, and while I have consistently not played well I’ve enjoyed the experience. This year the conditions were noticeably worse: every greens was rolling different speeds, bunkers were poorly maintained (on top of very poor quality sand). I hadn’t even mentioned it before all of my group agreed we wouldn’t return this season. It’s on par with what I’d expect for $60, and it’s almost double that. Oh, and if you’re going to consider yourself a top level course you really need to have carts with GPS screens. Overall, poor experience. Luckily, it was a nice day to be out. 🙂

The course is a disaster- fairways are filled with weeds and poor divot repair, tee boxes are bouncy and unmanaged, bunkers are mud- not “wet sand” actually mud and no rakes for the half dozen that could have maybe been scraped to pretend it was a trap, again NO rakes, all fringes and areas that should be landscapes and cut are just overgrown and a mess. The greens actually rolled and were playable. The only Pete Dye track around and it’s left to just wither away- plus the kicker $90 !!! Never again

This is Pete Dye course with a great layout. It can be challenging at every level of play. The greens could be water a bit more, when this dry. They putt super fast. The biggest complaint is for the money this course change, the sand traps are clay. They need to be dug out and refilled with sand. Even topped with fresh sand. There are over 120 traps. Many are not playable. The ones that are are still challenging. It is shame.

The first nine holes was alright but the second nine was a nightmare .it was turning out to be a 5 or 6 hour round

San traps were mostly unplayable, either due to standing water or woeful lack of sand. Greens were inconsistent at best - some hadn't been rolled out while others had. Some greens were hard and didn't hold an approach shot while others were very soft making it difficult to play. Clubhouse has a 19th hole jammed into the pro shop???? Course layout is fine and the staff was friendly but not enough to justify $100+ greens fee

need work on some of the sand traps some had no sand hard dirt some had water and some had dirt and rocks
