Ruth Park Golf Club

Some greens could use help but overall course looks good. Pace of play - terrible! 2.45 hrs for 9

Best muni in the area. Always open even in colder temperatures. Course is kept up very well

The grounds crew is amazing, the course is always in great shape, even in December. This is a municipal course and it seems golfers repair ball marks more than some other courses in the area.

We showed up 5 minutes before our tee time, we were getting checked in when the younger manager came over and said we couldn’t play anymore. I was shocked to be honest. I had showed up as soon as the tee time here before and been able to play. He was not friendly and didn’t make eye contact with us once. He just kept saying on time is 10 minutes before. Personally I have always loved coming here to play a quick 9. Me and my friends may never play here again. Definitely won’t recommend here when at work. Where I work with other golfers and am constantly getting asked for recommendations for courses to play. If they ever ask about Ruth, what do you think I’m going to say?

Never played Ruth Park but finally had the chance to do so. It is tucked into the UCity neighborhood with many houses in the surrounding area. It is a fun nine-hole layout that is a challenge to walk due to the elevation changes.

The parking lot is TINY and the clubhouse is pretty small. As a true muni, not a lot of amenities. However, the gentleman working in there was extremely friendly. Instead of poles or plates for distance markers, they had “tee box balls” to mark 200, 150 and 100 yards out from the green.

Since it is an old-school layout in a small footprint of land, many fairways run right next to each other. The greens are pretty generous but are perched up, so it is difficult to run an approach shot on. A few have some serious slope to them with false fronts. No. 5 is majorly slanted from back to front, and I hit a decent chip that ran all the way off the green and down the hill about 20 yards!

The driving range is in the middle of the course so there are a lot of stray range balls on the course. No bunkers or water in play so that makes for a slightly easier layout.

The course was in pretty good shape and a bargain at $17. Will play again in the future.

The course is in excellent shape. We were surprised by how well everything was maintained and looked.

Best to go to the course early or late in the day, as it gets crowded fast and then play can be slow.

Early tee time on a Saturday morning. Got paired with another single golfer. Course is in good condition especially considering the amount of play. I will definitely play again.
