Course is nice, beautiful along the lake, but other players ruin the appeal.

This course is a tough one for us to play at, but not because of the management, or the course itself.
Two couples book two tee times (as their tee times are packed SO CLOSE together) so we don't have anyone right behind us (the other couple has a brand-new golfer, they play best ball to keep the rate of play to a minimum). By the 4th hole, there is a group teeing off before we are on the green. They consistently hit right up to us, but won't approach us to play through, instead they tee off, pull up to their ball, and then hide from us, as if we don't see them.
It really puts a damper on a round when you have a beginner who is having fun (and we maintained a VERY respectable rate of play) and there are people who are just ignorant of basic course manners.
I typically wouldn't write a review so salty about a course, but this has happened to us EVERY TIME we play there. There are other local courses that are equal quality/difficulty that we will be supporting in the future.
We gave the course multiple chances, thinking it was a coincidence, but the other golfers on course are just too rude to go again, which is a huge bummer, as the course is otherwise run quite well, and the restaurant (which we will continue to support) is pretty good.

Hello and thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and to best control pace allowing everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve, and will use your comments as guidance in making the necessary changes. Thank you for playing Rich Spring Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.

My go-to local course!

Albany golf course is the perfect combination of a nice, relaxing, and affordable course!
Always well taken care of, and courteous staff makes sure every encounter is a pleasant one!
During the COVID-19 mess, everything is hands-off at Albany, perfect for peace of mind! We got a prime time 11:24 tee time for $35/person with carts!

Consistently my favorite course to golf.
