Score: Golf Outing (Team -3)
Date: July 11, 2008
I participated in a golf outing at Rancocas Golf Club. On a stifling, hot sunny day, our foursome shot a 3 under, even though one of our players was the worse ‘golfer’ I have ever seen. We played par or under on every hole, no bogeys. It was a nice day out on the links just a tough way to play golf.
From The Web Site: Experience this Robert Trent Jones Sr. Masterpiece. Named after a local American Indian tribe, this Robert Trent Jones Sr. design strives to maintain its natural surroundings. With meticulously manicured fairways and fast, smooth greens, it's easy to see how this 18 hole facility ranks as one of the top public courses in South Jersey.
The front nine is will bunkered and requires accuracy and discipline off of the tee. The back nine features rolling hills and tight tree lined fairways. No matter what level of golf you play, you won't want to miss the chance to experience this classic layout.
Course Condition: The course was in good shape, the tee boxes, fairways and greens were in good shape. The rough areas were regular, not maintained grass like someone would have in their backyard, nothing special. This could be a really nice course with a little care, but currently very average.
Shot Of The Day: Our foursome had a few long drives and a few long putts.
Suggestions And Comments: I will not be running back here to play, for free it was great. To pay for the round, I would have been a little disappointed. The houses around the course are run down and are an eye sore to the club. The ranger was on our ass about riding on the rough and fairways. If they didn’t want carts on the course, make it cart path only. He was getting a little ridiculous with his repeated requests, we were warned about 5 to 6 times. Then after the round, we finished on the 6th hole, driving back to the club house, there is a guy on the putting green in a wife beater tee shirt. I can’t ride on the grass where I was told I could take the cart, but this dope can play golf at a facility in a wife beater shirt. They need to get their act together.
