Needs some work here and there

Course has potential ....was able to play the share holders nine which was in decent shape for this time of year . The back nine on the public side was in rough shape . Tee boxes were poor, the layout was querky . Over all the greens were rolling nice .
Not a long course if your a big hitter . Overall I enjoyed the day And had some fun

Welcoming but greens are bad

Friendly- ushered to members 9 - which was better condition than public 9 we finished on.
Greens appear to have fungus. Players have quit repairing ball marks too.

Fairways & Greens

Great staff, great location, terrible greens and fairways. Good place for beginners, or if you’re looking for cheap golf. IMO, that’s all this course would be good for.

Walked

Met expectations

Given that it's a pretty busy, public course and we're in the fall/winter season, the course is in decent shape. Tee boxes are a bit chewed up but I didn't expect perfection with the recent rain and frost. Easy walking course. For the price, it's worth it.

Putting in a cow field

This is a great course to play for the average or above. Sadly the greens have gotten so bad that keeping scores lower are hampered by such bad putting surfaces.

RGA is a solid course as always. The conditions overall were pretty good, but the greens were certainly in rougher shape than usual. They had lots of bald spots, pitch marks, blemishes, and rough bumps. Putting at RGA often feels very frustrating as the greens often behave in a seemingly random fashion, and even when you do hit a great putt with the right read, the bumps and rough shape of the greens will make sure to throw your ball offline.

Fixing the quality of the greens and adding in even a simple hitting mat and net station, would really take RGA to the next level.

Not so good

Course was a mess, greens had fungus with many bare spots, tee boxes were very shabby and fairways were fair at best.

RGA needs some TLC

The greens were pretty bad. Full of crabgrass, and as a result quite lumpy. The tee boxes were mostly pretty bad also. Often hard to find a decent surface to tee up. And it remains hard for me to understand why there are so many irrigation line breaks all over the place. Lots of areas that are muddy and corded off.

OMG

Me and my friends also play this course on the regular. But unfortunately lately the course is in horrible condition. The layout outstanding. If you try to call and get a tee time they won't answer the telephone the greens and heels crabgrass look like some type of old practice course at this point they really should take the time to improve considering that they're charging almost $40 during the week and 40 plus during the weekend absolutely ridiculous and unacceptable. Please spend the money where it's needed

RGA Conditions

I have played this course multiple times over 25 years. It is in the worst condition I can remember. Crab grass in fairway, roughs, and on green. No fringe on the green, rough was unfairly long - we are not playing the US Open.
