The Rawls Course
Great day of golf. One of the best courses in the area.
Always a pleasure
The fairways and greens are always in amazing shape. My complaints come from the fact that they were having a tournament over the next week so many many foursomes were playing practice rounds, hitting multiple shots from the same locations and slowing up the pace of play with no course marshal in sight.
The other complaint is one that has been a persistent problem at this course for as long as I have been playing it (7 years), bunkers. They are completely unattended to and it shows. We were fortunate enough to play 2 rounds, and were the 4th group off in the morning. Not one of the dozens of bunkers on the course had even been raked. Most of the bunkers had human and animal footprints all over them and the sand was very inconsistent from bunker to bunker. When you are a course of this caliber that is simply unacceptable.
This is a great course with a great layout and it is in perfect shape outside of the bunkers. Do yourself a treat and go play when you can.

Great coures
This is with out doubt one of the nicest courses around. The course was challenging, and the par 5 on hole nine was insane. (distance wise). Great value for curse and the bar is way cheap. Made for a nice Sunday.

Tough course
After less than an inch of rain the day before, it was cart paths only, which was totally uncalled for. Other than that the course is great as usual. Just stay in the fairway the ruff is totally unplayable.

Other Players
The Rawls Golf Course was fine however the other golfers were horrible. We had a group yell at our group to play through. FYI, we were going to let you play through as soon as you caught up to us. Second, girls can play golf and yes my daughter's golf ball marker was on the green. Some idiot picked up my daughter's marker off the green when we let them play through. I had to chase them down to get the marker back.

Great course
This was my first time to play Rawls in about 8 years and it was in amazing shape. Everything was very green and fairways and greens were in great shape. The greens were very receptive and fast at the same time. The terrain and bunker made for a challenging round. I can't wait to go back and play another round.
Hi gcrosson,

Great Course! Hit 'em straight
The Rawls course was a great surprise, if it wasn't for the wind, I think I would have had an even better time. It is a nice test with great greens. Keep it in the fairway or just off, otherwise, bring some extra balls. It might be too much for a beginner to chew on.

Rawls course is the only course in town!
The joy of playing this course far outweighs the "snobby" attitude of Mr. Front desk.
I'll say no more.

Awesome Round
Great course to play. The only downfall was the greens. They were pretty hard and tough to stick a shot. Other than that it was a great time. I will be back.

SLOWER than SLOW
We had to wait three deep on a par three, it was a 45 min. wait!! Marshal came by at various times through out play but did not seem to pick up the pace of play...was not worth the money for that reason....course is fun and in good condition but the pace of play was the worse we have ever endured....
Golf course
It was great the course was in great shapes do the staff was friendly
Rawls
Great Experience!! Challenging golf course. Nice venue.
Awesome course
Rawls is the only course I play in Lubbock. The course is in great shape, the food is great, and the staff is very friendly.
NCAA Golf Tournament Preparation
This Division I team course is being groomed for an upcoming NCAA Regional Tournament in May and is playing very difficult. This slows down play, mostly due to the need to look for golf balls on most holes. However, difficult pin placements also added to the slow play. I found this to be completely unneccessary as the course plays hard enough before reaching the green. A number of bunkers were left un-raked by players ahead. The tee-boxes, fairways and greens are in excellent condition for the winter and the overall facility is top-notch.
Course is nice....service/amenities are poor
The course was fairly nice (and very nice for Lubbock), although whoever places it on those top 10 lists of public courses is smoking something. Beyond the course, the carts were dirty and falling apart, and the GPS did not work. The supposed pin placements were nowhere near accurate so it was a guessing game most of the time. The bathrooms in the clubhouse were filthy. There were no diagrams of the holes so that kept us guessing as well. There was no beverage cart on a Friday afternoon. With a small investment and some training, this place could be really nice. Tech should be much more demanding of Troon Golf, the management company.
Layout
I have played this course several times and never been disappointed yet and I will be back next year to play it again
