I really enjoyed every aspect of the golf.

However, I don't understand how you can send people out on a course that doesn't see the clubhouse at the turn with only a water fountain every 4-5 holes (3 total) and no snack cart... Especially when temps are climbing into the high 80s.

I've only played this course once before (about 5 years ago) so I wasn't aware of the far-away turn, and no one bothered to tell me. I'm lucky I brought my own snack. I ran out of water well before reaching each water fountain.

Course was in decent shape for February. That said, #15 was closed for major bunker maintenance. This was not communicated when booking the round, at the clubhouse, or by the starter. This information should be communicated to the player while booking.

In general, the course was in good shape but I'm not sure what was going on with the greens. It's on the shorter side but still a fun track with interesting risk/reward decisions for longer hitters. Staff was very friendly, and it was nice to see a snack cart out at an affordable public course. Wide open course with a Tuesday afternoon tee time, and caught up with a group on front of me and had a good time on the 2nd nine. I don't go here often, but always enjoy it.

I had been waiting for them to finish installing the new Bermuda greens, and it was worth the wait! Fun layout with a couple risk/reward drivable par-4s. Everything was in fantastic shape from Tee to Green. Staff was friendly, and the starter/ranger was awesome! This course is a bit of a drive, but it'll be a regular stop for me going forward!

I only got to play the front nine due to an injury. The shop staff offered a nine hole rain check even though I had a GN prepaid Hot Deal. Huge bonus points there.

The conditions here were better than what I could get at courses in Raleigh, and $20 cheaper on a Sunday morning. I was in the first group off and we finished the front in 90 minutes (even with my injury). A variety of approach shots, forced carries on par 3s, and risk-reward par 5s make this a very fun course.

I live an hour away, but I'll certainly be back

I like the track/layout. There is some strategy involved in navigating most holes. That's the only positive.

Fairways were dying. Nearly all the bunkers are hard dirt or even rock. Green speeds are wildly inconsistent (along with unpredictable roll). Tee boxes were mostly ok.

I hadn't played here in a few years and now I remember why.

Clubhouse front door was locked, had to walk around back. Guy behind the register was NOT a happy camper, nor in any kind of hurry to get me moving. I like the course layout, but the condition was pretty bad, with little grass (although the greens were actually good). My irons were caked with clay even though I kept the ball in play. I even hit a 370 yard drive (not exaggerating) because it was so dry and hard.

I hadn't played RGA in more than a year because it is underwhelming (although I did once get to meet and play with a local celebrity).

This is a par-72 course barely over 6,000 yards from the tips. The par-3s are solid, however most of the par-4s are under 350 (again, from the tips). Course condition is better than I remember, save a couple greens that were recently reseeded. Staff was friendly and pace was decent, even great by the time we reached the back 9.

It's not a bad place to go when I need a change of scenery, but it may be once or twice a year.

I'll start with the ugly: many of the greens are burnt out. It's not pretty. It's a darn shame. And many of the pin locations were placed right in the heart of the worst part of the green.

Aside from that, it was mostly fine. I seemed to find a lot of awkward lies, even in the fairway. The rough is mildly punishing, which I actually like (most courses around here have little distinction between rough and fairway).

The track is one of the best around: lots of elevation changes, some blind shots, mix of long and short holes for par 3s, 4s, and 5s.

Advice: add some amenities and fix the greens, and you'll have 5 stars from anyone.
