Hard to Say

They cancelled me the day before claiming it was going to rain. It did not. I think they really canceled me because I was a single and they wanted to have two people in the tee time.

Fun course to play

I played opening day on 5/1/20 after heavy rains so the course was pretty wet. But this is a great 9 hole course with some doglegs and challenging holes. $30 for nine holes was a bit much but I’m sure there are better deals. I’d play again for sure but not for $30 walking.

More long than challenging but very well-maintained. There are some bunkers but not too many are threatening. The water is there but never really in play. A very pretty course. A nice course for the price range.

Quality Challenge for the money

Rob Roy is always healthy and the greens roll true. House and Tree lined fairways require accurate tee shots and carefully judged approaches. Balls in or near the fairway are rewarded with quality looks and favorable distances into the greens. The widest fairway is approximately 30 yards wide, in contrast the Par 5 9th Hole’s fairway is a mere 10 yards wide in the landing zone. With that being said, the course provides numerous risk/reward options that will keep golfers of all skill level coming back for more. I highly recommend paying the $17 for an enjoyable weekday round!

Fun local course- legit par 5s.

This is a legit par 36 9 hole course. For just 10 bucks more you can go around again and make it 18 which is what we did. Fair pin placements UNLIKE most of the other courses in the area. Fun course and not too crowded.

Awful

At one point there were 5 different groups on the par 5. Nothing on the website stated on Wednesday’s 60 adults show up for their golf league. Not worth the money.
