Rough shape
Possibly front 9 was recently flooded ? There were deep ditches in fairways, grass was not cut. I lost two balls in the first cut of rough, and two more in the fairway!!! I am gonna guess the greens were not mowed for several days , soooooo slow, back and front. I expected more , and just disappointed. They need to be better.
Fun
Was great. Fairways were wet but only because of the amount of rain within the last few weeks. Great course.
Wildly varying hole conditions on a fun layout
Have driven on the highway by RBM course many times, and finally had the chance to play it. Very fun and interesting layout that I would like to replay. However, the conditions of the course varied a lot from hole to hole.
The greens were mostly pretty good but soft. They rolled decent but were quite slow. The big variable was the fairways. Some were pretty good while others were wrecked with big depressions and low spots that were filled with water or mud. Other fairways were terrible with crabgrass or just huge dead patches.
Lots of doglegs make for interesting angles on approach shots. Decent amount of water on the course, but really only in play on a few holes. The other thing was that the course seemed to play short. I know scorecard and tee box yardages aren’t everything but the white tee boxes were consistently a good 20 to 30 yards shorter. In fact, we started playing the back blue tees starting on the fifth hole.
NICE FIND
First time I played this course. Not to far for me to drive, within 30 min. Tight fairways and a few challenging hole layouts. Booked one of the first tee times, so pace of play was perfect. I'll definitely play here again.
Course was in great shape
With the exception of a couple of small bare spots on the edge of one of the greens and in one of the fairways I would have to say this course was in perfect condition. Have played here a handful of times in past and can't remember course being in as good condition as yesterday. Greens were spectacular, fairways were great as well.
