River Golf & Country Club, The

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.

The layout is well conceived with many dogleg par 4s
Most greens 11/18 are in good shape, but slow and furry. Many sandtraps have weeds and standing
water. Several teeboxes are mostly dirt. Got a hot
deal on golfnow for $19. with cart for 18 holes and
that price was just about right.

Greens are really coming around, roll try and good speed. Fairways also in great shape, tee boxes need some work on several holes but still worth the money. Will definitely play again.

Had lots of fun and will play here again. Course was in pretty good shape...only a problem with some of the greens.

Returned to this track after 2 years earlier. This course was a hidden gem in 2013, today, not so much. Greens are mostly dead, tee boxes are dirt and bunkers have no sand...but rocks as big as baseballs. NOT an exaggeration!!
I truly hope that they can turn this place around...but it looks to be is serious trouble.

Though the course is not in the greatest condition, it gives a fun round of golf!

Course could use some maintenance.
I would not play again

On most of the greens, there seems to be some sort of weed that is mixed in with the normal grass and makes putting very hard and since it's early in the season, the grass near the greens are rock hard and very little soft grassy areas. I do like the course a lot especially the value, but hopefully this is just a temporary problem they are facing right now. My rating for the course without the green problem would be a lot higher than poor but that is what the shape of the course is in right now.

It was the beginning of the season. Early spring. The course was not grown it. The holes were interesting. Great course for the money. Staff very friendly.

This course does not deserve 4 stars. Paid $18 for 18 holes with a cart. The cart was terrible and could barely poke along the course. Every other fairway was soaked with puddles on the course and in sand traps. Do not waste your money here. There are plenty of other courses that are in much better condition for comparable prices.

Greens were fast and challenging to 2 putt each hole

A beautiful course that offers great value and has a friendly staff

The price for a Saturday afternoon round was too good to pass up. I went as a single but joined a threesome of friendly guys, two of whom were low handicappers. Really enjoyed the round.

We got a hot deal for $10 per person from Golfnow.com and didn't really expect much for the price we got. What we got was a big surprise as the course was a very fun course. Thoroughly enjoyed our round and each hole was different. Loved the fairways and the greens were tough to read if you are a first-timer like we were. We wanted to play it again the next day, but we did not have enough time as we had to drive back to DC. We will definitely come back to play this track again.
