Golf League Stopped Any Chance of Back 9

We booked a round a few days out for 18 holes. No mention of the massive gold league event they had going on until we started. It's unfair to sell 18 holes under those circumstances. We made the turn and there was a line of 40 golfers getting ready to tee off. I don't fault them for having a league just don't sell people times that could conflict with that (only offer 9 holes during times that would come up against their start time). The staff did inform us of this as we were about to start but that didn't really help as I paid days in advance. It's unfortunate because the course was in good shape and I enjoy playing there. It's just bad management and unfair to customers. I'm not suggesting it was anything malicious just worth noting if you plan on playing there.

Former private coourse

This course was private at one time. Excellent layout and rolling terrain. Greens are quick and undulating. Sand traps are fair, but at least raked and free of debree.As most public courses, no one on the course to keep play moving, pass out water, or answer questions. Your on your own out there. Fortunately, better players there and play moves along.

Very wet

Course is usually in good condition but the drainage of the course isn’t well. I played Turkeyfoot the day before and night and day difference. Turkeyfoot greens and overall course conditions were great.

The course was a mess with many trees and tree branches down and debri everywhere including the greens. The course should have been closed for clean up and to dry up

Didn't play this course today, showed up 30 minutes prior to tee time, it was a ghost town, 3 cars in the parking lot. No carts on the course, spoke with someone there and they said they have been having issues with golf now advertising rounds with carts. He said they aren't putting carts out for at least another 2 weeks. I have spent the last 6 hours trying to get a credit or refund.

Rawiga Golf Course: A Hidden Gem with Thrilling Challenges

My inaugural experience at Rawiga Golf Course left me thoroughly captivated by its offerings. Instantly apparent was the fact that Rawiga is a course tailored for the seasoned golfer, not one for the faint-hearted novice. With a multitude of trees strategically lining the fairways, precision off the tee became paramount. To navigate this verdant labyrinth successfully, smart shot choices are essential, especially if mastery of the driver's artistry is not yet second nature.

The verdant carpets of the putting greens presented a delightful yet formidable test, their swiftness defying the norm for this time of year. Even as a seasoned golfer, I found myself grappling with the challenging intricacies of the greens, reflecting the remarkable demand they place on one's putting finesse.

Rawiga Golf Course's excellence extends beyond its layout. The impeccable demeanor of the staff and the seamless pace of play add a layer of satisfaction to the overall experience. Furthermore, Rawiga boasts several holes that have etched themselves into the annals of golfing allure. The 14th hole, where one tees off beside a charming covered bridge, exudes a sense of timeless elegance. Meanwhile, the 15th hole, a par 3 gem, showcases a picturesque panorama as golfers navigate their shots through a ravine, diligently avoiding the beckoning bunkers guarding the front.

A truly formidable encounter awaits on the 16th hole, crowned as the number one handicap challenge. This par 5 masterpiece is not to be taken lightly, as two serene lakes stand guard over the bifurcating fairways. Here, a long drive takes on profound importance, placing a premium on accuracy and decisiveness.

Regrettably, murmurs circulate that the final chapter for Rawiga Golf Course may soon be written, and this exceptional gem might soon be laid to rest by year's end. As I basked in the allure of Rawiga, I couldn't help but wish that I had stumbled upon this treasure trove of golfing delights earlier.

Needs some TLC

First time playing here since my teens 20 years ago. Course and clubhouse definitely need some TLC, alot of the ball washers were barely working and had really nasty water in them. Greens were in good shape, fairways were decent, tee boxes had a lot of divots. This is a very hilly, un level course winding through woods and many OB with water and heavy brush. Would not recommend for someone looking for a simple up and down type course. The par 3’s are long and the greens on all holes are fairly small and surrounded by bunkers. Staff was friendly and the price is good for what it is.

Nice course and worth the money but need someone monitoring golfers

This course was very nice and the price was even better but we had a lot of problems with other golfers yelling and screaming throughout the entire course. I understand golf is amazingly fun and sometimes you get excited but this was just people who were yelling for no reason and did not care about anyone else’s game. They need someone monitoring the course and I would of given this five stars across the board.

If the money’s right, go for it.

Good course layout. Staff is nice and friendly. Course is old school, but not in a bad way. Greens roll very well. Personally, I drove 45 minutes to the course to check it out because I always like playing new courses when I can. Pace of play can be slow sometimes, but nothing too extreme. Overall, I wouldn’t pay over $30 for a round here. If you get a good deal for the rate, try it out.

Great course, in great condition.

My son and I have been looking for a course that is good for both mid and high handicaperd and is equidistant between East Liverpool and Columbus. Rawiga is 1:40 minutes for both of us and though you have to be on your game to score low, misshits don't always mean penalties. The greens were the best I've played in a while, and overall conditions I would say were excellent. We both agreed that we'll play there again.
