River Golf & Country Club, The

As a novice golfer, I found the narrow fairways to be challenging. Most holes are protect by hazards. It was a fun but challenging course for first time on it.
The GM is very friendly and they offer several discounts.

This course is not too hard but not easy at the same time. It has alot of sand traps many of which surround the green. The course also has alot of water hazards forcing you to make more accurate shots. Overall it is a good course for the money and I would definitely play again

The fairways were great. But don't hit in the trap. Its like hitting out of the Grand Canyon. Water runoff has decimated those things. There arent too many of them though, so it shouldnt ruin the experience.

Course has good mix of holes that are very easy and some that are challenging.

This is a fine local course but not a place worth traveling to. It's short and tight in many places. The greens are small and were in below average condition.

Front nine tight...back nine is more open. Golf carts not well maintained.

this was a nice course. not real long, but long enough. very open layout with some water. the par 5's are reachable and there is a drivable par 4 with a straight tee shot. very risk reward type course.

This course was in good shape for the first of April after a rain storm. There are several holes on each side that are low holes and do not drain very well. That being said everything else was great.

Greens were extremely fast, think hitting a 2 footer to sink a 12 footer. If the putt is downhill it is almost a given 2 putt possibly a 3 putt depending on your touch.

Overall I enjoyed my round of golf at The River. I would recommend this to others.

The course was really nice for an over 100 player like myself. It's a fair hike outside of Raleigh, which makes it less crowded than similar courses (Brevofield/Lakeshore). Similar to those two courses in difficulty, with nicer fairways than both. Greens were pretty quick, but the grass is still developing for the season. We got a $25 tee-time, which is about what this place is worth. Awesome value for a below-average/novice player, who wants a cheap course to play without the crowds of Brevo/Lakeshore

My first visit, and it was February, so the entire course was brown, but otherwise, an enjoyable layout that takes advantage of the Neuse River. The cart fleet looks a little down-at-the-heels, and the bunkers were rather indifferently groomed (there has been A LOT of rain in past days), but I like the variety of holes and looks. This course could be a five star with a little attention to tee boxes, fairway yardage markers, new carts, and perhaps overseeded fairways. I will play here again.

Great rate...really unbelievable; course in good shape and rather challenging. Staff is awesome.

most greens are elevated so have to add a club .... small greens .... but great value for the money

Always an excellent experience when playing this golf course. Our group look forward to this challenge each time.

The course is overall nice. The grass on the greens was brown and sort-a fast. Positioning of the ladies tees made the course lady friendly.

I had not been to this course in over 8 years and the place truly impressed me. If you have never seen Championship Bermuda greens (which i did not know existed before yesterday) you are in for a treat or a helluva challenge depends on how you look at it. Really fun course. Very challenging. a Shot makers course! The greens were amazing. I will be back soon!

From the super-friendly staff to the sufficiently challenging layout to the healthy fairways and greens, The River Club is the best value in the Raleigh, NC, Triangle area. Our group has been playing this course twice a week for quite a few months, and we never tire of the venue. It's a great track at a great price!

A pleasant surprise. Great layout if you enjoy challenging doglegs and shots over water. Perfect condition the last week of October.
Both the members out on the course and the employees where very helpfull and friendly. My brother from San Diego and nyself from Stockholm, Sweden are playing a number of courses in the Raleigh area. This course is leaps and bounds the best course we've played and what a value.

Thanks Rich in the clubhouse. I play here often. Some challenging holes like par 5 #2 with a long second shot carry over water. It also has a driving range to warm up. Hot dog and a coke $2.50. Cant beat it. It has a Louisburg address but it is closer to Bunn. I would have never known it was there without Golf Now.

The River Golf and Country Club is a beautiful course nestled within the Lake Royale area. We were pleasantly surprised with the immaculate fairway and green conditions. The staff is very friendly, helpful and welcoming. The hour drive is well worth playing at this course. It is a peaceful hidden gem!!
