River Golf & Country Club, The

The course was in pretty good shape. There was 1 temporary green but the other 17 were quite good. I am thinking the course must be Bermuda greens since they are surviving in this long stretch of heat and no rain. The rough is quite deep since they are letting it grow due to lack of rain. I would do the same too.

understanding the long, very hot summer months and the toll weather like that takes on golf courses in this region, I didn't find much to rave about at this course. the condition of the course was marginal at best and the grounds crew seems to have simply allowed the summer to take its toll on the fairways and rough. for the price, however, there's not much room for complaints. I got what I paid for. pace of play was excellent however, as I had the course to myself given the time of day, weather and day of the week. I won't be making the journey to play this course again though. it is way off the beaten path for a reason.

I have been playing here for years. I find the course a challenge because the front 9 is much different from the back 9. New greens are starting to come in and overall the curse looks good. Where can you find this level of golf for $20 with a cart. Staff there are always helpful and friendly!

Not sure what is going on with this course, the greens were excellent, but the bunkers were in dire need of some serious attention...

A couple of yahoos in front of me that hacked it around made the round twice as slow as it should have been which drove me crazy. Course has potential yet obviously no budget. Every bunker is unplayable. Tees in poor shape. Worth $10 ($13.59 with GN blood $) but not much more

First time playing and I was impressed. The fairways were in great shape and the greens ran true. Although there was some rough spots along the edge of a few greens. The sand traps are terrible and need serious work, very little sand, mostly clay and dirt. Still I will be playing this course regularly from now on especially with the Golf Now hot deals.

I loved the Course, the layouts was very good, lots of doglegs making it very challenging, few Water/Creek Hazards to work with. Overall I would give it an 90% , Staff was very nice today and all. The greens is torcher though in getting onto green to putt, very steep hills for someone has health difficulties. Nice mini snack bar, and club house seemed to be well placed with equipment sales and all.

They should have more water coolers on front 9 I only found 1 back 9 there were 3 for as hot as it was today

Course is way out in the country.

Tee boxes need a lot of work. Not very level and lacking any grass in some places.

Staff is friendly and overall the course is in good shape after the tee boxes. Very interesting layout.

Fun to play and would play here again.

This golf course is great for players looking to have fun at a cheap cost. The greens were well kept and the pace of play was excellent. I give this course two thumbs up!

This could be a super course, however, its in disrepair. The staff really tries to overcome this and the Layout is really quite nice.. We did enjoy playing here as they had some very competitive rates. I hope they get some Money to put into this place, the staff and course deserve it

With good club selection and a straight drive a fairly easy course yet a joy to play. Will play again for sure.

Bunkers and tee boxes need some attention, but no complaints for a $15 round!

Had to wait for frost but pro shop was a friendly place to hang. Good conversations with members and pro. Great tips. Wished I could execute them.
Every hole had character and something different. Some rough conditions in parts of fairway and on greens. Just roll the ball and enjoy the peace and quiet. great value.Front and back nine like two different courses. Short, narrow and small greens on front. Wider and longer on the back.

Even with the recent rains the course was in excellent condition.

This course has always been a great value course, as a friend and I played for just $11!! We've played there every once in a while for several years, and the course has shown consistent improvement almost every time we play. The quality of the tee boxes could still use some work, but the fairways are lush and a little spongy, and the greens, that once were in desperate need of repair, have filled in pretty well, and usually stay fairly consistent throughout a round. For the value, this course is never a bad place to play!

Decent course need some work. This is the second time I have played there and the greens were a little better this time.

Save your money , there are 100 courses within a hours drive for similar price . Tee boxes ?? Not cut .. Might as well been high grass in the rough ... Greens -- beat up , regulars don't replace divots , and more beat then a county course up north . Fairways for the most part taken care of and some challenging lies ... Pace of play was good . Was disappointed in lack of main tends of the course for "a north Carolina course ..

It was okay, just okay. Greens were hard to read and had inconsistent speed from hole to hole. If I had paid more than the 20 I did pay I might have been a bit upset. I was out with family for a get together and we decided to play. Since I am a 25 handicap and can play only once or twice a month the conditions were not too much of a concern for me but others may feel differently. I would image that better players may not like this course much. Also, they have, what seemed to me, a water hazard on every hole. They owe me 6 balls. I told you I sucked.

The person working the registration desk was rude and not at all friendly...if he was working for me I would fire him.

I have only played the River one time previously and I don't recall it being in the condition it was in when I played it recently. You can tell the course is feeling the effects of our recent NC winter. Several of the tee boxes were either overgrown or all dirt. Most of the greens were in good to great shape, but some were looking rough. The same could be said for the bunkers, they looked like the had taken a beating from lots of rain and some were just overgrown. Overall, the course is a great track and has some challenging holes. I am hoping that with some more attention to maintenance and some better weather, this course will be back in good shape again.
