The good: Really great layout. Classic imaginative, tree-lined New England course. Be accurate off the tee and you can score here. Condition is always immaculate. Staff is friendly. I love playing Richmond CC. It's great golf. Walkable too.
Be aware: No chipping area. Range is hit or miss. Buckets are pretty small for the price. Run out of balls far too often for an unpleasant surprise.

Make the turn and there are 4 groups on the 10th hole, 2 waiting to hit and 2 playing the hole we were the 5th group in line. Went back to the clubhouse to get a rain check because pace of play was ridiculously slow and Jeff Dodge in the clubhouse said he couldn’t help me. Tried to blame me for slow play. Course is fine but I have never been rushed through a round like that to make room for an outing and then been told “tough” when asking for a rain check.
