Awesome experience

Played 19-1 courses and it is a long 6770 yards from the emerald tees. May want to consider moving up unless you can bomb 270 plus drives consistently or you're in for a long day. Fairways are tight and greens are tricky. We shot 77 for a 1.6 hdcp and an 82 for a 6.2 hdp players. Tough track but very enjoyable. The cart guys are fantastic people as was the pro shop staff. Everyone was really nice and welcoming. I will be playing regularly here since I live in the area. I'm just moving up a tee next time since my average drive is 240 yds. The par 3's were long from where we played 3 of the 4 over 190 yds. Both of us are over 50 and I am knocking on the door to be 60 in 2 years. Had a blast, shot okay lesson learned.

Nice challenge

Rosedale is improving some areas on the course mainly tee boxes. The greens had been punched. The greens were hairy and very slow but you can tell they are improving it for the up coming season. I am building a home here so looking forward to walking 9 holes everyday after work. The fairways are in great shape and the course is challenging with narrow fairways on some holes and fair test for drivers on other holes. Greens are small and this is a shot makers course. This course will make a player out of you with a game that can travel. Looking forward to calling this course home.

Awesome golf

This was a beautiful course, very challenging and in superb condition. Probably one of the best course I have played ever. Greens are firm and fast. Fairways are tight. Took the first 9 holes to learn how to play the greens. Breaks are going to freak you out when putting. Make sure to walk around and read your putts from every angle or you won’t see the correct read.

Really nice

Great experience from the moment we arrived. Love the fact they don't nickle and dime you to death by making you pay for range balls to warm up. I hate courses that do that. Pace of play was not a factor never seen a group in front or behind us. The practice area is top rate. The course was in great shape the best I have played this year. Generous fairways, great greens with lots of humps and make you think about your putts. Guys who complain can't putt because at first glance you think some pin placements are sinister however I didn't 3 putt once. This course is on the top of the list to join when I get moved to the area later this year. We played on a tough day with 30 mph winds.

For conditions

We have had a lot of rain lately, this course was in superb shape considering the amount of water that has been dumped on the area in the last month. Cant wait to play it in dry conditions as the rain made it play much longer than it was. Greens were in great shape as were the fairways.

Great course for the money

The course is close to the house and could be In better condition. Actually this could be a great course with a top notch greens keeper and ownership spending a little money on it. Its great for a round after work to get your game on par for the weekend.

Staff is arrogant

I actually loved the course, it was well laid out and offered a good challenge. The staff however treat you like your a second class citizen. They are snooty, arrogant and in general a bunch of jerks. Do they not realize that some people who may play their course could someday be a potential member to their course and a resident of their community. Total turn off and my wife and I will look elsewhere for our future dollars to be spent. I have rarely been made to feel unwanted especially when spending a few hundred dollars for a day of golf and dinner. I am a fairly good golfer at a 5 handicap and a successful Realtor and business owner. I wouldn't play here again if they gave me free golf for a month.
