Royce Brook Golf Club - West Golf Course

Course was in fantastic shape. Well worth the fee. Pace of play was 4:30.

I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. The tee boxes looked like mine fields with no attempt at divot filling by staff. Not one bunker had sand in it - at least a year plus of abandonment with weeds, mud, and puddles throughout EVERY SINGLE BUNKER. The green at hole 15 had about 10 cup-size holes where it looks like the groundskeeper attempted to move the pin position but kept screwing it up. Also on 15 was about 10 iron divots from some a-hole who decided to hit off the green. Probably in frustration from the shape of all the bunkers. Add these to the unfinished sod install where at least 4 holes have 500-1000 sq feet of fairway missing due to sod installation occurring. The fact that they charge $99 for a terrible course in terrible conditions, and I seriously question why GolfNow would even have this course as an option for golfers to select. REMOVE THIS COURSE FROM YOUR SEARCH ENGINE. And SHAME ON THE OWNER FOR CHARGING PEOPLE A PREMIUM RATE FOR A COURSE IN SUCH TERRIBLE CONDITION. YOURE A CROOK and I hope you miss your next birdie putt and bogey it in frustration.

I have played this course several times before so I went in with a general idea of what to expect. Unfortunately no one told me that practically the entire East Course was under construction as they are replacing a ton of turf throughout the course. My only other issue was that almost every single bunker in the course was unplayable. There just seems to be no attention paid to them at all. Overall I generally like the course I just wish they would have let me know about the conditions before I booked.

They’re consolidating 36 holes to 18 holes with many on the east course going away….so they’ve ignored the bunkers which is unfortunate. 4 of the holes will be part of the new 18 so the bunkers have have already been rebuilt or are being rebuilt.

But the fairway, tees, and greens are fine and the layout is very interesting. Based on what I paid I got over the condition of the bunkers.

If you don’t pay too much (I paid $45) it’s actually worth playing.

Bunkers have no sand. Rakes & lots of weeds
The 8th hole had actual cement in the bunker
They were removing sod from holes 7 & 9
-on 9 about 50 yards in front of green
Cart paths were a war zone -can’t even call them potholes
Pace of play was great 3.5 hours. Course was basically empty

Bunkers had no sand and actually had grass growing. To many short dogleg hole. Will not go back especially for the price. The iwners should be ashamed of themselves fir allowing this

Therewas no sand in the traps, every hole on the front 9 had construction going on, you had to move you ball about every shot as you were in a man made Hazzard. There was cut sod all around the greens no replacement sod at this point...just a horrible round on a course that I paid $99 for. Should be charging no more that $25 per round until the construction is completed

Course is in terrible shape, especially for the cost. Not one bunker has sand, and there is actually grass growing in many of them. Greens and fairways are in decent shape, but probably to for long. Layout is okay, but to many short dog leg holes

Getting better.luv too see lot of work going on expecting this season many thanks

Only Paid $50 per person for the round BUT the muni courses around me are this same price range and are in MUCH better condition. This course had NO sand in any of the bunkers, was all rocks & some mud, several holes were under renovation, which is fine but nothing was said about this when round was booked, or when we checked in. Couldn't even play one hole b/c there were workers all over the green yet there was no sign saying hole was closed or giving any direction. Not much of a food menu available in the restaurant either.

I’m a 3 handicap, course was very nice ! Loved the green, greens were very consistent and fast!

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.

Booked last minute on a Sunday and this was all that was left. Now I see why. The course (tees/fairways/greens) is in decent shape EXCEPT THE BUNKERS. EVERY TRAP is not sand…they are lakes. And if there wasn’t water in them they were a combination of dirt, mud, and weeds. I heard they were selling the east course to build houses so I guess that means the maintenance budget is zero. Charging $100 is criminal!!! GO ELSEWHERE

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.
