Good Ole Boy Type of Course

If you’re in with the groupies or should I say good ole boy network this place is fantastic. Course management doesn’t respond to several emails I’ve sent on why they only book for 3-4 people. Getting on this course as a single is impossible!!! 3-4 in a group pay 14 bucks each on Golfnow. Can’t make a tee time if you’re a single player unless you show up at course and then you’ll probably pay 22-26 for your tee time. So if they only got tee times for 3-4 people mid week that tells these groupings really don’t have a job or are working. So if your an older person who hangs out at the course with your buddies who live in the area then you’re a good ole boy correct? No reason why I can’t make a tee time as a single player mid week. Weekends I can understand 3-4 can reserve tee time. But mid week? Place is dead! But that’s the way good ole boys operate. And the management on course doesn’t respond to e-mails I’ve sent regarding there Golfnow arrangements. Unsat. Nice course. Played there before as a single. But not anymore....

Excellent course for the price

I have golfed at The River numerous times. There have been major improvements to the bunkers and was extremely pleased with enhancements to the course. Its a challenging course and you cannot beat the price. Staff is friendly and there has never been a delay in tee-time. The pace of play was excellent and I cannot say enough good things about this course.

Great Course

Fun course with nice greens. Will be back to play again. Not at the fault of the course, but the river had flooded a few of holes on one side of the rough. If you hit them straight, it won’t be an issue.

This course is in the best shape I have ever seen. Plush fairways ,rough is up and greens are rolling great after just a few weeks from being punched. Keep up the good work. We’ll be back soon.

Great course for the price.

Your drive and approach are most important. Greens roll better then you'd think. A chip in par on the 1st hole and a true birdie on the 3rd well definitely bring me back at another time in the future.

Worth the ride

Frist of all, I might be a little bias; have been playing this course for a while, so keep that in mind. The course is in good shape , for this time of year. I can tell they have been working on it. It has come along way from where it was. I believe they have new carts which is nice;we had separate carts due the social distancing. The course was playing a little easier since the Bermuda hasn't kick in yet. I look forward to playing this course again,

Post Script: Bring your A-Game it can bite you.

Nice value

Enjoyed the round. Cart lady cleaned and sanitized the cart in front of us! Layout was good. Super thin lies and uneven tee-boxes were kind of frustrating. There were people shooting shotguns on the other side of the river. Not great for my PTSD, and very distracting. But hey, it’s the country, nothing the club did.
