River Golf & Country Club, The

member of course very good value for the money, course plays longer then yardage as majority of holes are all on plateau so hitting up to the green, and few which not elevated sand traps guard them, the front nine small greens so have be accurate , black nine green bigger , course improving as seem like management spending lot money on course, does have great layout, just think cannot under estimate course, or it get you.

Cool and unique layout but the conditions don’t support the price. Greens on the back are very different that the front.

Tons of rocks in the bunkers so watch out for that. Tons of gravel on the sides of the course if you miss the tight fairways.

Tough green contours and tough pin locations on ridges. Green speeds differ greatly between holes. Some tee boxes are all dirt, and some are not flat or close to level. Fun play that requires shot shaping and course management. But overall it’s not worth the price tag. It should be in the $40-$45 range. Once in the $60-$70 range, the other course choices are far superior in terms of condition.

Awesome atmosphere and staff.

Great course design!

Played here a few times and stopped, now I remember why. While it is a great course, it’s quite humbling as well. The fairways (not all but many) are tight with little room for errant shots. Then, when you get to the greens (which were impeccable), the pin placement and undulations are so tough. A few of the tee boxes could use a refresh (some didn’t even have any grass). I’ll probably wait quite a while before I book another tee time here. Or maybe if my game improves significantly. Our group shot, 93, 96 and 99 where we all are usually low to mid 80s.

We had 4 groups go out, the staff was great and engaging. For me it was the first time playing this course in a year.

The course could use some loving care but with all the rain in the area that may have been difficult.

We went into the clubhouse after our round and had a great time. Staff was attentive and provided great service.

We will be back!

Sand traps are in bas shape and greens were recently aerated so they are not fruendly

The course was beautiful and well groomed. The cart paths are in need of repair.

Excellent experience

As our first experience with this course, I have to say, I could not be more impressed! From the cart amenities to the staff, to the course layout and condition, what a great folding day! I will absolutely be coming back time and time again!

MEMBER AT COURSEN BUT THIS ONE BEST VALUES IN RALEIGH AREA, GREAT LAYOUT AND COURSE REALLY STARTING COME TOGETHWER AAS FAIRWAYS ARE GOOD, GREENS GOOD, WORST THING IS FEW TEE BOXES BIUT NOT ENOUGH STOP FORM PLAYING,

Tee boxes could use some work, only reason not 5 stars. Greens and fairways 5 stars. Will be back with next trip to pinehurst.

Overall, a pretty good value. Tee boxes were all sand for the most part which was less than ideal. For a hot deal, 40$ seems worth it but I don’t know if you would pay 60+. Greens are well manicured but very slow. The course was in pretty decent shape. Lots of dog legs and mildly narrow tee shots.

In the two years I've been playing this course, this is the best shape I've seen it in. The greens and fairways are in excellent shape and the course has been paying closer attention to the bunkers and getting them treated most days to make golfing a real pleasure. Multiple tee boxes are still in need of attention but they are in the process of cutting back the green collars to enlarge the greens to original size, which will take some time, but will make the course even better and more playable. The staff is always great and friendly and there is progress being made on fixing the old cart paths so a chiropractor visit is not necessary post round. Augustus Grill has fantastic food and beverage and is a gem in the Louisburg/Bunn area.
