A fun challenge

A very difficult course but very rewarding for a skilled player. This is the most beautiful well kept course I’ve ever seen in person it’s honestly the quality you would see in the PGA Tour.

The pace of play was fantastic I will golf there again next time I’m in town

In great shape

The course is in great shape. Greens were punched about 6 weeks ago and have healed nicely. Rolling.very true, although a little slow. The rough was just cut down so errant shots are more playable than normal. Weather right now is perfect

Ok for close to home. Needs upkeep and a friggin MARSHAL!

Over the years this has been one of the more expensive courses. But because it is in the middle of the city it was ok. But 5 hour round? 4 some followed by 4 two somes? Followed by a group of 6? Ridiculous! Someone in management needs to get off their butt and see what’s going on. Needs large amounts of maintenance around their ponds. Way too much poop from mud hens. And reeds so tall you can’t see the par 3 #15.

Barely playsblr

There is zero excuses for the course condition. Weeds within yards of greens growing up in bunkers two feet in height. I’ve been playing this course since it opened and it is is the worst shape ever. Minimal effort is not given.

Could be very good

Great layout but very very sub par conditions. Some tree trimming, grass edging, weed pulling, and bunker conditioning would make this a high quality course. Just need to put in the effort.

A good day

We had a good round today at River Lakes. It's a fun track, with lots of teeing options. Of course it is Winter time in So Cal, which means dormant grass, and splotchy fairways. Greens were okay. The regular players there could do a better job of fixing ball marks on the greens, but we did have a good day today.
