Excellent course but expensive and slow pace of play

Always enjoy playing Richter but only when I can get a deal like I did with the prepaid on Golfnow, Too expensive for out of towners so I'll never pay their price. The course conditions were very good and the greens in nice shape. Only complaint was very very slow play. Only a threesome if front of us and we waited every tee box starting on 6. Then the twosome behind us waited on the tee box for us to hit. Unacceptable and really takes away from such a nice course. Also much to expensive given all the options golfers have.

Oak Lane - Great Deal Great Course

Can't beat the deal and the course is very nice. A good blend of short and long holes./ Greens were excellent and pace of play was very good. Highly Recommendated.

First Time Playing

Staff made us wait because we paid a reduced rate!

First I would like to state that this course was a beautiful and very challenging course. I played from the back tees which required you to drive the ball well. . It was carts path only due to the amount of rain that the area had which made the course play even longer. The carts had excellent GPS systems which were very helpful since it was our 1st time playing there. I did have an excellent round of 74.

The only reason why I rated this course low was due to the treatment we received from the staff. We got a great deal via GolfNow. The course was completely empty from 11:30 on. We got to the course early to hit balls and check out the surroundings. We were only a twosome. Knowing that the course was empty we asked if we can tee off early. They emphatically stated "Not at that price". Which is fine if there were people teeing off but we waited for over 1 hour and 1/2 and not a single person teed off. Don't get the rational. I knew the course was empty because we checked the tee times before going and except for the morning almost every time was available. Finally the let us tee off 15 min before our tee time. Then when we finished around 6:15 the place was completely shut down and locked. Pro shop, grill room , etc. Couldn't even go to bathroom or get a drink!

So they make us wait almost 2 hours when no one was playing then lock the doors. Just don't get it. Felt like we treated like second class citizens just because we got a good deal.

Anyway think that is a shame. I normally don't write reviews but me and my buddy felt like this was just silly and we still talk about it and with other golfers we know. Seemed like they just wanted to punish us for getting a great deal. We played Okemo the day prior and they treated us very nicely and were much more accommodating. Guess they value their guests a little more.

Don't think I will be back and my buddy feels the same. Guess they don't really care anyway and maybe that is why the place was empty!

I guess you should have made an earlier tee time.
