Nice Course

This is a nice course. It gives some challenging holes, but for the most part the course has a forgiving layout which is great for a beginner like myself. Well maintained and nice pace of play.

Great course, group ahead of us was slow but rangers did a great job speeding things along. I’d gladly play again and again.

Nice course

Played for the first time and surprised how good the conditions are - greens and bunkers were in excellent shape, better than most muni courses. Layout is good for most levels of golfers. Friendly staff and pace was good.

Local knowledge a big plus

There are several blind tee shots with hazards in range. Plus the greens are great but tricky.

COVID 19 Round

All things considered the course was in good shape and the 16 minutes between tee times helped. Course was in good shape except for some of the rough which was burning out as a result of a mini drought we’re in. Not sure why RUGC was still in such a severe lock down ( no takes, ball washers, etc.) when neighboring Monmouth County courses are fully open and tee times are back to normal. I guess Middlesex County just having a slower go of things.

Walked

good value for the price

Played today for the 1st time in probably 20 years. I used to boast about how well kept the course used to be, and I was thrilled to see things haven't much changed. Not a long course, nor an extremely difficult one, but it's a nice walk and the grounds are very well kept. Played on the tails of a foursome the whole round and still finished in just 3 hr 45 min (disclaimer - I teed off at 11:28 on a Thursday morning - probably would play much slower on a weekend or Friday afternoon....). For $39, a great value. We really haven't had rain in nearly a week and the greens were still soft, the fairways and first cuts still very lush.
