Great course, great shape... way too slow

The course is classic. Tons of character. Easy to remember each hole because they are very distinct. Greens are challenging and in great shape. Bunkers too.

Unfortunately, people don’t know golf etiquette we watched, hole after hole... while we waited...as the morons in front of us would watch the others putt and not line up they’re own ball. The very antithesis of ready golf and being considerate. Not to mention these guys couldn’t hit the side of a barn from 10 yards.

Golf doesn’t need to be rushed. Just played... absolutely killed our round because we couldn’t get in a groove waiting 15 mins between every shot. Not the courses fault per se’. But it killed our round ...

Challenging course in great condition

RVCC is semi-private, so it maintains some of the country club feel overall. The course is very well maintained. Although not especially long, the design has great character and the GREENS ARE TOUGH! That’s where the course defends itself. They were running fast and hard to hold. Great fun.
Only cons were that I noticed many bunkers weren’t raked, and while most seem to have sand , some weren’t in the best condition and needed more sand. But overall fine and way better than any country course...
pax’s of play was great for front 9... one 4some, 3 groups ahead of us backed up the whole course on the back... but the rangers fixed and we were moving well again by the 12-13th

Can’t wait to play this course again. Better practice short game and putting. Because you can have an excellent ball striking day and find yourself struggling to make Par!!
**example- 9th hole.- stripe a 3 wood down the middle- 8 iron into the green - FW in reg. G in reg. First putt catches slope rolls off the green, putted up the slope from the fringe and the steep slope killed it.. leaving another 10 footer.
Result... 4 putt double bogey.... ... flask please

Great shape

Course is in great shape. Pace wasn't too bad. My buddy and I were paired up with two nice guys but they were a bit slow. 4 1/2 hours. Should've been 4. But rangers planted in strategic spots helps people move. Excellent value on golf now. We played very early though.

Great layout. Challenging and fun

Nice layout. Nice greens. Challenging. Long Par 4s have you hitting mid and long irons into greens.
We played the golds. Over 6600 yds. Caddy would have helped because you need to hit your spots, not knowing the course is even tougher. Wild definitely play again. Layout fit my eye. Holes clearly called for a draw or fade and rewarded good shots

Nice place

Weather was cold and the place was empty. I don't remember the last time I didn't have to wait on a tee box. Pleasurable round. Decent layout. Very friendly. I look forward to playing there in warmer weather

Great Course

Great course for the money. Challenging from the black or gold tees. Longer than most courses I play in NJ. beautiful designs. And a lot of fun. Only complaint was that they need to space the tee times a little more. The whole course was backed up. Also, a few geen side bunkers were hard as clay just an inch below the sand. Twice my wedge bounced into the ball, caused a skull and possibly 2 strokes
