Nice course

Loved the conditions. Played from blue tees and scored mid 80’s. The course plays long and challenges accuracy and club selection. The course offers lots of diversity and elevations to make things interesting. I play the course a few times each year and have always enjoyed it.

Where is the Ranger?

Another 5 hour round! The group in front of us took a break for lunch at the turn and came back in and did not let us play through as they chowed down as we came to #10. They then played “scramble” golf in pairs. Unbelievable! Please have your Rangers out on the course maintaining pace of play and making it enjoyable for everyone who plays your course. Right now, I can’t recommend that anyone play your course and for me, I’ll only play there as a last resort.

Great course

I love playing this course. Staff are always friendly and course conditions are always tops. It’s a challenging course but fair. My only complaint is that sometimes the pace of play is slow and the rangers need be out to keep things moving. Yo - you duffers who keep taking 3 or more practice swings, and those who don’t give your colleagues 2 ft putts, you are ruining it for everyone else. This isn’t the PGA. Tournament. This is supposed to be fun. A 5 hour round is NOT fun. So pick up the ball and keep the pace moving - Please!

Usually great but a let-down today

I have really enjoyed this course. Every time I play, everything works well. Today, we had a threesome two groups in front of us that were horrible. Instead of playing the usual 4-4.25 hr. round, today was close to 5 hours. The threesome were beginners and hitting multiple balls. Complaints to the Ranger were totally ignored with - " you are on pace...". There were 4 holes empty ahead of the threesome! We were not on pace! A second Ranger finally came out and told the group to pick up! If 5 hr rounds become the norm here, I will go elsewhere.

If these guys can usually deliver 4-4.25 for a public on a weekend, how about saying "thank you" instead of dinging them for a one-off bad group you got unlucky enough to play behind. Lets be fair and realistic folks.

Terrific Cours

I’ve plated this course numerous times and have enjoyed it. The staff are wonderful people and the course is challenging but fair. It was about 30 minutes slower than normal yesterday due to a couple of super slow groups. Need a ranger to keep pace of play up. Otherwise I highly recommend the course.

Enjoyable round

Three of us played and enjoyed a sub 4 hour round in weather that was a bit grey and cool. The course was in good shape and the greens were well groomed. It’s still early in the year and because of all the rain there were some muddy areas of the course. I recommend this course. It is challenging and lots of interesting holes.

Terrific Course

Played Saturday and course conditions were great. Had a terrific round with a twosome that I joined. New carts with GPS screens were a bonus. I highly recommend the course.

Excellent course

I really enjoy playing Richter. The course conditions weren’t the best at this time of year but it’s better than most others and I’ve played about 5-6 other courses already this season. The staff are super friendly and customer oriented. Had lunch at the newly renovated clubhouse and the food and service there were excellent. I highly recommend this club.

Fair course

Have played the course a few times. While not my favorite, it's a good sub if nothing else is available. Yesterday was painful. It took us one hour to get through the first two holes and we were waiting on every hole. After 3 hours, We finished the front 9 and gave up on playing the back 9 and went home.

Needs improvements

Have played this course for years and watched it improve but lately, it's gone the other way. Bunkers are never raked and overflowing with sand, fairways are less than acceptable, and yesterday, some random dude showed up on the fairways hitting golf balls between groupings (unbelievable!). I later learned when I complained that he is a regular visitor and the golf club doesn't do anything about him because he is the buddy of Bridgeport's Mayor. Golfers were yelling at him to get off the fairway and he would wave and continue to take his random shots across the fairway. We had to skip a hole because he would not move. This course has become a mediocre mom and pop shop catering to cronyism. I only recommend it as a last resort.

A good course

Overall, course conditions were good. Nice fairways. Some holes were quite challenging but fair. Greens were a bit hairy and therefore slow. Some of the holes were not cut flat and putts rolled away from the hole. Pace of play was excellent the day I played. While not my favorite, it is a good track and I recommend it.
