They have got to address the horrid conditions of the greens. Almost unplayable. Play here often.

Good day of golf

Conditions of the course were decent. Fairways were in very good condition but the greens were very inconsistent; some good some very bad. Excellent carts with GPS!

Great Value. Enjoyable Track

This was my first outing at RGA. I really enjoyed the course. Busy but not slow. Not too demanding and certainly not long. Greens were a bit rough but not unplayable.

Great place to work on your game. A good short game and decent putting can reward you with a lower than your average score card.

Give it a try.

Slow greens

The course is in great shape for such a hot summer. But the putting greens are inconsistent and slow. They are not a place to lower scores

Greens need lots of help

Early morning tee time. Pace of play was excellent. Tee to green was in good condition. Greens on the other hand were in need of lots of help. Slowest greens I have played on this year. Not very well maintained. Ball marks not fixed correctly causing issues putting.

Tripple Teeing??

Have played this course 15-20 times mostly because it is close by and not expensive. It is in reasinable shape. They have 27 holes and they triple teed. I have never seen that before. Play was rediculously slow for a week day and singles were doubled up in carts because they don't have enough carts I was told. There were no rangers to move things along. Made the entire experience so poor that I left after only 9 holes. I have never done that before at any course. You have to work hard to get me off a golf course.

RGA Once Again

I first walked this course with my father in 1964; I first played this course in 1977, I know the course. I have known may members and Pros through the years. I have fond memories of friends with whom I played, walking at 0700 in the morning. So when I tell you this course is in the best condition tee through green, believe me.
That being said, there is some room for improvement. If only one item, the speed of the greens. Now you should know there is a great amount of play at RGA as it is truly one of the most accessible PUBLIC golf courses anywhere. The greens are kept soft and slow due to players not repairing ball divots and the superintendent has to make sure the grass is useable for as long as possible. However, if the Super should decide to firm up and shorten the grass on the greens, you would have a very difficult time two putting, every green.
My long time acquaintance, Robert is the Pro and you would have a trouble finding a more accommodating and likable Pro. The menu in the snack bar has improved over the years and the staff are as friendly as you will find anywhere.
So, if you desire a day on the course at a facility that appreciates you, your guests and your game, play RGA!

Good course

Tee boxes and cart paths could use some TLC in some spots. Greens and green side in great shape, but players need to be reminded to repair divots on greens.
