Very Challenging Course

Royal is the most challenging course I have played recently. Though greens were thin in spots they rolled very well. Fairways and Tee boxes were fine. You will lose balls on this course. And take note, the White Tees are the Senior Tees.

If You Like Bunkers!

Great course, very good shape. Greens fast. White tees are short but the many bunkers will catch up to you.

Will We Get it In?

Made 1:34 Sunday tee time without realizing that Daylight Savings time ended that morning. So would we get it in on this wonderful course? I had my doubts. But found myself standing on 18th tee at 5:30. Just enough time to finish my favorite hole

Great Course with Slow Play

Played on Wednesday. Course is top notch with speedy greens. Only negative is the wait time on every shot. This is common. Think they schedule tee times too close.

Course in very good shape.

Play here every winter. This December it's in the best shape I have seen in past 6 years. Some great Risk-Reward water holes. And the price is right.

Nice course but very dry

I really like this course. Not too long. Interesting holes. Lots of hills (not walkable for over 60). The tricky greens and aprons were in great shape. But the fairways and tee boxes were totally dried out. If it was all green, I'd rate it near the top.

Nice course in good shape

Greens were in very good shape albeit quite slow. Fairways were decent but roughs were often barren. New golf carts are on order; definitely needed.

Top Notch Course

Great course, great shape. Greens were perfect. Lots of water. My two-some did it well under 4 hours. But that was because there was no one there on a nice Monday morning in October.

Good Shots Are Penalized

First timers are handicapped as many shots are blind. A perfect shot turns out to be a penalty because the fairways are sloped and do not hold many good shots. Overall, fairways and greens were in good shape but greens ran very slow. Course appear old and beat up.

Wonderful Course

This mountain course is a wonderful layout. I loved playing this course. It is fun and plays a bit short from the whites but there are so many twists and passages that it make it quite challenging. I really appreciate a short course that is challenging. The greens were near perfect.

Greens Poor

Several greens were in horrible shape, large patches of dirt. No evidence of any effort to improve. This ruins a good old course.

Course Was in Pretty Good Shape

To my delight the course was in good shape and the greens were not slow. Only 9 holes but there are 4 real tough holes. For the price, this is a good deal.

Excellent Shape

Course was in excellent shape. Except for some tree debris, greens were great (best I've played on this season). It is a beautiful course especially when it is lush green. I have played later in the season here and it has dried out. If they can keep it like this, it is a gem.

Rough was way too deep.

Played on Memorial Day. Red and White Nines. There are new colors for the T markers but no description or information on the color scheme. So if you accustomed to playing from the Whites and continue with that you'll actually be playing from the Red. The new White is Green/Gold. Experienced golfers can figure this out but not newcomers. My biggest problem with this course is there is no indication on the green flags where on the green the flag is positioned. This is a simple fix that all other courses use. No excuse for this oversight. The rough appeared to be uncut for a couple of weeks. If you are in the rough you lose your ball. The fairway in White 2nd hole was perfect. Of the rest were similar this would be a wonderful course.

Nice Course But Not In The Best Of Shape

This is a very well designed course with many interesting holes. The only drawback is it is not in very good condition. If it were kept in tip top shape, it would draw golfers from the Capital District.

Greens were thin

Played a day after heavy rain. Course was fine (cart path only on half the holes). Greens were very thin with no grass on many areas.
