Redgate Municipal Golf Course Reviews

The course was in awful condition when I played it. The only course that I had ever seen in worse condition was Montgomery Village. Hopefully the new management of Billy Casper golf will fix the place up. It's a challenging golf course that has potential if it's fixed up right. It was interesting to play on bermuda blend greens which is not normal as most if not all courses in Montgomery County MD have bent grass. The greens were a bit ragged and the fairways were worse. The pace of play was an issue and several of the holes were really in bad shape with almost no grass at all. Fortunately I joined Montgomery Country Club the day after playing Redgate so hopefully I will never have to play this dog track again......

I can't really say much about the condition or speed of the greens...they were ok, not too fast or slow, not very flat either...fairly decent size. My main concern is the condition and "openess" of the course itself, fairways and tee-shots, the approach-shots. Redgate is somewhat of a rolling course, fairly vertical, heck it has a lot of valleys, 50 -100 ft drops from tee to fairway and a lot of uphill greens, most of it. I took that as the distinguishing feature of the course. Where there weren't "undulations" there was water...often both together. It's a challenging course to play yet somewhat unrewarding because it's almost overly tricked-out and the course is fairly open. You get lucky and hit a tee shot and approach shot into a "good place", fine. If one of the two are off, you're in trouble. It's pretty simple. Really too simple and too much of it is up to luck, for me to really enjoy it. That plus the fairways were not really in great shape either of the 3 times that I've played (summer-winter) so there was a fair amount of dirt and scrub to deal with. It's ok, get out there and bang a ball around and have fun without going up to say Little Bennet or out to Twin Lakes, two courses which are just in a different league, but not really a course that inspires me to play it again.

First time playing Redgate and probally will be my last. Green's were very slow and shaggy, Tee's were overgrown and markers havent been moved, not to much difference in mowing height of Fairway and Junior rough, Bunkers were mainly red silt and rocks, all were still washed out, unplayable. Course also takes the Driver out of your hands on numerous holes, there are also numerous blind shots. Course layout is very short and easy.Round ending up taking 5 1/2 hrs. I seriously doubt I'll be back.

Since we didn't go to the gym on Monday and weren't going on Wednesday, we decided to get our exercise and cardio at Redgate. In this regard, Redgate did not disappoint, and the course was in good shape for this time of year too. This is the first time we've played the course in a long time, and it will be fun to come back in the summer and try to figure out how to play #16...

The course was very nice as it is most of the time and the greens were very smooth and fast. The starter warned us they would be enforcing fast play however they were not on their game. The first 4 holes played fast then we had 10-20 minute backups on a bunch of holes. I watched a 4some in front of me hit 2 tee shots each on 2 different holes, they were really pissing me off. Anyway the round took 5:15 hours and 45 minutes just to finish the last 2 holes.

Got to play 9 after work today on a perfect sunny afternoon. Redgate is in real good shape, the fairways were in near perfect shape, the greens were grown in - maybe the grass was a little long (but it was late in the day) and the pace of play was great. Can't wait to go back for another late afternoon round.

Pinhole aeration on greens - the grass is just starting to grow. #10 changed to par 3 with temp tee on top of the hill about 150 yards.

First time I've played here. This is a tough course. A lot of hills, a lot of water, and very fast greens. Course is in excellent condition for this time of year. Snack bar was not open for the season yet. Enjoyable round in spite of my astronomical score.

The staff was very professional and friendly. They should take the staff from Redgate and install them at Lake Presidential! Service was prompt and they weren't late for work!!

The course was in very good condition. I really enjoy Redgate because although not long it provides a nice challenge with different elevation changes and many dog legs. The course moved pretty good later on a Sunday, which typically can be a struggle, and even the Tee boxes were green and in good shape.

The course is in great shape. This is an older course with rolling hills and limited hazards. The greens were perfect. It was my first time playing and I regret not getting a yardage book. There are a lot of blind shots. You never really know what club you should be playing.

Course is in pretty good shape. Very hilly. Lots of elevation changes makes distances tricky. Be ready for a slow pace on the weekends.

Course could be in better shape...greens still inconsistent with aeration bumps..fairways good...friendly place...not expensive

First time visiting here. In very nice shape for a muni course. Quiet and scenic, but HILLY. Would strongly recommend a cart unless you don't mind walking up and down hills all day long. Tee boxes were mostly in good condition, but the heavy rain Thu-Sat leading up to my round made a couple of them soggy. Greens are in good shape and fast. Only one fairway on the back nine was in bad shape. Otherwise, all the fairways were nice and the rough was even and fair. A little pricey, especially since you pretty much need a cart (or at least a pull cart), but otherwise nice.

Redgate has very friendly staff and great food in the snack bar. Along with the great golf it is a real pleasure

course is in fine shape...greens are excellent...as good as conditions get on a pure muni

course has grown in nicely...conditions excellent

The greens are not quite ready yet...by the first of May the course should be very nice...fairways and tees are fine...this is a pretty decent municipal course...no frills but a good value...by the way it is VERY hilly

greens were just aerated...putting impossible

It's still early, so this course should improve.
