I love this course. i would choose to play here over any other course in the southland. the greens are now back -- no aeration visible, but not lightning fast yet. the course firming up in generally. starting to play as it was designed to play. brings back memories of scotland. strategic drives that enable you to run the ball into the green from the best angle. great fun!

What a fun course. You'll lose some golf balls if you let your ego get the best of you- and no doubt the greens will test your putting game, but an absolute steal price-wise and a great staff!

Rustic is in it's usual great shape, with a couple of exceptions. The fairways are starting to show a little wear, expecially in the main landing areas, and worse are some of the greens. It's amazing to me that people that play this course just can't seem to get the whole "fix your ballmark" thing. If you landed on the green (or in the big fringes), you made a ball mark. Find it. If you can't find it, fix someone else's!

As usual though, I highly recommend this course. The more I play it the better I like it.

What a challange!!! Played from the white's (I'm a 20+) and still had a hellava time reaching the 4 pars.

What a challange!!! Played from the white's (I'm a 20+) and still had a hellava time reaching the 4 pars.
Gentlemen, don't fool yourself, if you're a 15+, play from the whites, it's still long, but play took almost 6 hours, because of the foursomes of "high handicappers" were looking for their balls all morning. The yardage from blue to white is a 500 yard difference, but holes like #9 (Par 5), #16 (Par 4) and #18 (Par 4) have differences of over 50+ yds.
So make it fun for everybody, play your level to keep up the pace.

Played last Sunday 5/18. Course is in great shape. Some of the greens are still recovering from aeration so they were not as smooth and fast as the last time I played. Fairways are perfect. Watch ... Continue »

I have played there a couple of times and the fairways and tee boxes are great the greens are a little bare and not in the best of shape. The big problem is that the wind makes the course unplayable, the flages were bent over so far that they looked as if they were going to snap. With the wind the course is totally unplayable unless you putt your ball from tee to green but then you can't mark your ball on the green because the wind will just blow the ball off without ever letting it stop.

Played 36 today. Conditions are primo! The greens are coming back to life, and are quickly getting quicker. This is a tough place to make par. 11/10!!!

A superbly enjoyable course with some long walks between holes. Because the course is on a hill, some holes play much more downhill than they appear. We teed off at 6:55am on Fri 5/2 and played in just over 4 hours with very little waiting. Although I've played there 3 times, the greens and surrounding areas still pose a steep challenge. However, the ultra-wide fairways generally make it pretty easy to avoid trouble off the tee. The blue tees are significantly longer and more difficult than the white. A very relaxed, out-of-town feeling.
