Nice enough.

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.

Needs a LOT of tlc

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

Not worth any where $99 for a round here

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

Do not play

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

Sub par course conditions

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.

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.

GO ELSEWHERE

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

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
