Just tell it like it is

I have played Royce Brook many times and really love the course .The only problem this time was that they aerated , and told us that they use tiny holes and it was a week or so since they did .They said the greens are in great shape. They lied ,there were big holes on the putting greens an they were horrible! I just wish they would tell it like it is and if their greens are aerated and still not healed let the golfers now

Nice course and nice holes

I had fun at Royce Brook, nice course and lay out. They have a lot of bunkers. Course conditions for April 14 were good considering we had a ton of rain in Feb/March/April and the course drained well except for some of the bunkers. I will go back soon and I really want to play this course when it is warm and it's mid season. I will rate it a 4.7 out of 5.

730 fun

Played on Sunday 4/7. The course was in great condition considering the amount of rain we got the week before. The car paths need to of work. I see some green work and bunker work being done. Will be back again.

Bunkers or lakes

I was excited to play this course since I have not played it in years and they usually have nice fairways. Exited hitting off the first tee a couple of the guys went into what we thought were bunkers, they ended up being filled with water all of them and these things were deep. Your ball goes in it’s rare you are getting it out or even seeing it. The course was in such bad condition from bunkers to tee boxes to the uneven ungroomed greens. A nice day turned into a stressful one and for $79 I was really disappointed. I played multiple courses through the winter that were not in this and of shape. They have a lot of work to do

Only thing I can say that needs a bit of work are the sand traps. Poor drainage and could use new sand. Great day though!

Great round to start the season. Course in great shape despite flooding rains the day before. Cart path only slowed pace of play, but that's to be expected.
