Riverwood ( Gem)

Course is always in pristine condition.

Greens are super fast and immaculate.

Ball sits up in the fairways. Very few golf

Courses can even hold a candle to playing

here. You won’t be disappointed

Lack Of Communication

Got a great deal thru GN, so jumped on the tee time. Big fan of this course. Unfortunately, the golf shop attendant said Nothing to me about the greens being recently aerated! Maybe that's why I got such the good rate? Anyhow, I thought it was good etiquette to inform all golfers that the greens were recently aerated??

Because of the golf shops lack of communication, had to give the rating less stars...

Great except the Starter needs social skills

I loved the course and all the staff up until I reached the starter. Wow what a piece of work he is. I was playing with 2 strangers from the area who play there often and apparently he is legendary for his lack of and poor social skills. Not sure why he’s still there but once you get past him the course is a really fun track. Greens were getting aerated but you gotta deal with that occasionally. Recommend it but hopefully Mr Happy isn’t working that day :)

First Time Playing

Fun course Bad Staff

Booked a Sunday foursome, but one player couldn’t make it, leaving three of us to play. We were initially told we could only take one cart, even though there are only two bag holders, but after politely explaining that it would be much easier and more practical to take two carts, they allowed it. We were also offered the chance to tee off early, but declined and waited for our scheduled tee time so we could play as a group. We kept pace of play the entire round and did not cause any issues.

Around the 9th hole, a staff member approached us accusing us of playing more than 9 holes and told us to hurry up because he couldn’t go home until we were done. The interaction came across as rude and unprofessional, especially considering we were following the rules and not holding anyone up.

We understand courses have policies and staff have responsibilities, but there’s a respectful way to communicate with customers. Unfortunately, as first-time players at this course, the experience left a very negative impression, and we won’t be returning.

First time here

Everyone was very nice. The course was nicer than a private country club we played the day before by far. Course was in nice shape, pace of play was great. We’d play again when we’re back in town.

Complimentary range balls - Nice touch. Cart service was good - we saw the cart girl four times which was nice since it was so hot.

Greens were well maintained.

Excellent course conditions but

Pace of play was very slow, over 4 1/2 hours, in particular the back nine took 2 1/2 hours with group ahead having no delays or a group in front of them. Course marshals had disappeared by then. Course as always in excellent condition.
