Rum River Hills Golf Club

the course was available to play and the cost was ok

the person in the bar area was not pleasant or even reasonably friendly

things could be be much better

Not sure why a 7:30 tee time had to start off of hole ten that day, but when we got to the turn there was a back up on Hole one. Very disappointing to have to wait, and for what reason to start off of ten in the morning? Overall this course is in okay shape with some overwatering issues, and standing water. Okay layout, but short. Probably will go back in the fall with the coupon, but perhaps not. I'm not sure yet.

bar lady was crabby

air conditioned clubhouse what?

course condition was sadly lacking

didn't expect much and got less

guy in the pro shop and waitress were nice

Rum River Hills is a fun golf course. The staff is friendly and helpful. It’s not a long course, but it is very strategic. There are places you just can’t afford to end up in. There are a few forced carries. It was a very fun day.

I Have played course several times a year. It's a pleasant course, not particular difficult and within a reasonable distance of the Northwest suburbs.

I will not play again because of the attitude of the staff against GolfNow members. The staff member was quite explicit in saying that they do not welcome golf now members. Especially, the hot deal. I tried to explain to him that this is a marketing/advertising'expense to the course and if they don't want golf now members to reserve tee times they shouldn't participate. Although the course is convenient and the prices are generally quite fair, I will not book a tee time there again. With the state of golf and the declining demographics I think their attitude is quite shortsighted.

This course caught my eye because of the low cost to play on GolfNow. The course is in rough shape in some areas, especially if you’re in a riding cart. I did enjoy the layout of the course and it was challenging on certain holes. I definitely think this course is worth it and will be going back. I do hope that the conditions of the course improve because it has potential!

I booked a 2 person tee time this past Sunday at 305, when we got there, no carts were available. They said they had 60 carts on the course. They asked if we were going to ride and we said yes, they moaned and groaned as if it was our fault we bought a tee time with a cart. After waiting 10 minutes for a cart, we were able to tee off, about 20 minutes late after having to wait for other groups. The pace was SO slow, we played NINE holes in 3 hours!! There were 4somes that split into 2somes once they started. We kindly asked them to join up to make the pace better for everyone but there was no ranger checking for pace of play. There would be 3 groups waiting at tee boxes to play, it was ridiculous. After finishing 9, we asked if we could get a rain check for the last 9. The employee said “well this is actually a twilight rate, so you get what you pay for. And, you could probably still finish before dark..” We told him this was unacceptable and that it states in their policy that 9 holes should take MAX 2 hours and 15 min. He tried to say it was the first weekend and nice weather but that is by far the worst and slowest round I have ever played and the staff, besides the cart girls, were extremely rude. They did give us a free 18 (but must purchase cart coupon) after we refused to not get some sort of refund.

Make sure you call ahead and see if there are senior leagues going on. I was stuck behind a bunch of 5somes. Most courses do not let 5somes play but this one does. I finished to first 9 in 1 hour..no seniors..the back 9 took me over 3 hours to complete.

I have not played this course for over 13 years. Was pleasantly surprised to see it in decent shape after all this time. It has a few gimmick holes..but overall a decent track to play.

Being retired I have the opportunity to play all over the twin cities and Rum River Hills is by far in the worse condition I have played. Years ago Rum River was our go-to course because of course conditions and layout. Regretfully I can no longer say that. Obviously the layout is the same however course conditions are very poor mainly the ruff. Dead grass from cutting wet is left on the ruff which apparently is not cut that often, in many places the ruff looks like it was cut with a weed wacker. The greens are in OK condition but if rolled would be better. The fairways were OK but that is as good as I can give it. This course just needs a lot of TLC.

Course was in good condition but the course ranger was a megalo-micro manager. Course gets a C due to ranger alone. Not only did all players have to check in with him personally because "only one person paid"... duh... it's the golf now app... but he also tried to "help us out" and have us tee off from the whites when we were intending to play the Blues because "this first hole is difficult and there's a lot of water out there"... say what?!
