Spring is here!

The course is in great condition, from the fairway grass to the 95 percent of the greens! Getting that goose crap revisited on some but not all holes. Slow play ahead, where is the marshal when he is needed. Rule of thumb is to keep pace with the group ahead of you! FYI.

Good course to play in the rainy season

I played this course the day after played at Heron Greenback, which was terrible. The Rose City is much DRIER course to play in the winter and rainy season. The greens are bumpy and slow.

Pull over if your are holding up the flow!

For an early February round I was impressed. This is my go to course when it has been raining and you didn’t let me down! I did lose a few balls in the middle of the fairway, plugged. No big deal, the rest of the course was in good condition.
What did let me down was the group of seniors ahead of me. These guys were slow, didn’t speed up or ask if I wanted to play thru! I finally skipped a hole and enjoyed the rest of my round. I’m 69 by the way!
Course courtesy and honesty are big parts of golf. Enjoy your game and time on the course but remember that you are not alone on the course!

Winter rules

The course was wet, the greens recently top dressed with sand, so winter rules. Slow threesome ahead of that were oblivious to the fact they had lost touch with the foursome ahead of them made the first 9 a slow walk. The course is still worth the time to play, they are doing their best, hard to keep ahead of Mother Nature.

Great value

Greens were in great shape, fairways in great shape too. The price with a cart is totally worth it. Cart didn’t work very well we had to change the cart because it ran out of fuel and the brake didn’t work.

City central course really surprised me!

Worth the price and a great inner city course! Hats off to the maintenance crew of keeping the course in great shape. Yes, the club house is old, really old but the Rose City golf course is playing really good.

Golf course Played really nice considering it was the heat of the summer!

Surprisingly, for a public city course, it played really nice! Green fairways and putting greens. You can tell the love and experience with the crew who takes care of this course.
Quite a history with this course in the middle of a metropolitan
Older historic clubhouse may not have the best first impression inside. Take it in and think of how the building looked inside many many decades ago.
