Nice time good decent course

First of all - all the people who worked there were great. The course is easily walkable, but we took a cart (No GPS on cart but otherwise OK). A couple holes were a little cramped but the only hole that I thought was a little unfair was #10. Had a great time on a nice day with a couple very nice young guys. Conditions were pretty good. The greens were moderate speed and just a bit inconsistent (some faster some slower). Overall a solid place without being too fancy. I would play again

By far best conditioned course I've played on during this time of transition from winter to spring. Greens are 80% recovered from aeration. Fairways n rough are already in great condition. Pace of play was 4:15 for a weekend round. Doesn't get any better than that.

Will come back to play again

Course was great well laid out and the staff could not have been been friendlier. Pace of play should be taught at other course from the staff here. They kept everyone moving and we’re sure to let you know if you were behind. My only down side to the course was they air rated the course a while back and the holes were not filled in in a week or so the greens will be perfect. We had no issues putting.

A definite return trip will be planned

First timer at RU

Great condition (better than good and less than exceptional) and a terrific value. They have numerous rangers driving around ensuring that each round is finished in about 4 hours. Some may not like that kind of watchful eye, but as someone that likes to play at that pace, it serves as a plus for me. They also have a nice little snack truck at the turn (picture attached). I’ll definitely try to play again.
