Pushing the golf season

The air is warmer but the ground is still very wet and very recently sanded! There is fresh sand on the fairways and greens. A rolling putt of 15 feet collected an 1/8 of sand around the equator and came to a halt. Getting ready for spring I’m sure and for as much rain as we get , this place is still one of the best to play this time of the year. Give it a bit to allow the sand to settle in.

Can't beat it for an affordable fast weekday round

I love being out a Rose City on the weekdays. There might be a handful of other groups out on the entire course. I played through one 3some, but otherwise felt I had the entire course to myself. A great place to work on ones game. I squeezed a 3 hour 18 holes in during a long lunch break.

Some of the greens aren't perfect, there is some areas off the fairways where recent storms knocked debris off trees that wasn't completely cleaned up yet. Overall though this is a great round of golf for a very affordable price. The layout of the course is excellent, and a good use of the land available. Challenging but accessible.

Not Bad!!

Not bad, considering the rain we've had. I wasn't expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised to see that it wasn't near as muddy as I had anticipated. The greens were slow, but that pretty much goes with winter golf.

Nice course, will come back again

My first time played this course. Nice layout and decent maintained course. Fairways are wide, and Greens can be challenging. Wish they have water coolers and ball cleaners thru out the course but they do have a beverage cart girl drive around a few times for purchase. Definitely will come back again

Too expensive for the conditions

After recently punching and sanding the greens they should reduce the cost to play if they want more business.

Good conditions considering the season

Surprisingly good conditions considering how much rain we have had recently. The new greens on 9 and 18 are quite nice but we're quite a bit faster than the old greens on other holles.

Greens are nappy and a bit lumpy in places

Balls don’t roll true so putting is off. Everything else is as expected with the wet and cold season.

Slooow greens

I've played Rose City for 40 years so I know it. If the city parks dept and the greens crew could just do a little more. Like roll, top dress, and cut the greens, it would enhance the playability of the course. Instead every foot print, uncut greens that you have to pound the ball to hole, takes all fun out of play. Please before the rainy season makes this wonderful course unplayable.
