Fairly Nice 9 Hole

Fairly nice 9 hole course. Will certainly go again within next couple of weeks. One minor issue would be poorly maintained sand (bunkers). Almost every hold bunker (sands) have weeds :)

Afternoon round

Course was in good condition considering it was raining. However, there was a three some of teenagers ahead of us and they were goofing around and waisted time. The group in front of us had to skipped them over after the first hole. We did the same thing after the second hole.

Tee Time Confusion

Almost didn't play the course. Booked tee-time online through GolfNow and prepaid for the round with a cart using the HotDeal discount. When I got to the course, I was told I had to pay. Then, I told them I paid in full online and then was told I just paid for the convenience fee. Then I showed the confirmation I received from golf now showing I paid for the round and nothing was due at the course. I was then told I had to pay for the cart. I then had to point out that the rate showed it included a cart. Then I was told that if I paid, he would see that. I told him you do see that from the receipt. I told him that I was not going to pay twice and then was told that I needed to call GolfNow. I searched for the phone number and by this time, my tee time was then... A few minutes later, the gentleman signaled for me to come up to the counter and he said I was good to go... no explanations... he just said he was "letting" me go. Not sure what he meant about that since I did pay... Nevertheless, that almost turned me away from this course forever. But, I found the course to be a nice trek for a quick "tune-up". Pace of play was very slow. Tee-time was 11:40 am and walked off the 9th green at 2:20 pm.

Not Good

Course in very poor condition. Gras was long through out course from tee to greens, Bunkers all had standing water, and looked like they haven't been touched all year..

Pace of play was typical for weekend play. Played the 9 holes about 2 hrs, 15 minutes.

Would not repeat.

Still working on bunkers

Great 9 hole course with tight fairways. The greens were rolling pretty well and the conditions of the course are improving. Most bunkers are still in need of help

Most likely the last time

It’s too bad this is a nice little 9 hole that is maintained relatively well and it’s priced fairly. However the pace of play is horrendous and the people who live on the course are rude and will yell at you when you are well away from the property line. It took me 1 1/2 hours to play the first 4 holes. I left mid 5, employee asked “why you leaving slow play?” They know it’s an issue but nothing is done. Like I said it’s too bad because it’s a course that isn’t cookie cutter and is fun to play. Unless you pay $75 a round pace of play is becoming an issue everywhere so it’s not just a knock on Rob Roy.

Hospitality and Conditions

I Love this place, so I'm hoping this catches and eye to make it even better. my group has been playing here consistently for few years. Get the bunkers done, or get rid of them! Address the tee-boxes with sand/seed, encourage players to help with repair- give them the resources. Tee boxes are in awful shape. Have a water bucket for towels on the first tee consistently. Please make sure there is actual water/soap in the ball washers. Invest in an actual Port-o-Potty station away from the busy Euclid road, it is needed every round, including the ladies. Hoping the management will be keeping the bar/restaurant consistently open this year, create some good quality fresh menu items. Restroom facilities are excellent. Put some effort into the pro-shop, looks like it's a back-room storage area. Remember- I love it here, just want it to become even better. Thanks!
