Don’t play

Course pace of play is not monitored. Drainage for water is non existent so there is mud everywhere. Even in the middle of the fairway you are not on a good patch of grass. And the mentality of players on the course is to just get in front of you, instead of waiting like the rest of the people playing golf. I wouldn’t play this course again if it was free.

Great day at Riverlakes!

My daughter and I had a blast playing 18 holes at Riverlakes Golf Course. The greens were much better than in days past. Continue staying on top of the greens guys.

Surprised

Played this course approximately ten years ago and it was in phenomenal shape. I don't mind driving an hour and a half or more to play layouts I enjoy, but I was surprised to see how bad the grass at the range was; nothing but mud and no grass to hit from. Secondly, the fairways were dry and the bunkers had no sand, but dirt. The greens ran well, but full of divots that were not fixed. I literally had to repair an average of 4 divots per green. The pace of play was horrible, it took our foursome approximately four and a half hours to play; unacceptable. Never saw a marshall. Will not drive this far out to play under such conditions.

Specials

Wish you guys had more specials don’t play as much here due to being the most pricey of all the public courses and you guys charge 15 dollars to bring my kid when all the other courses don’t charge

Greens and bunkers that are very challenging

Very challenging course. Bunkers that are Maneaters all over as well as very slopy greens. Awesome layout and Island green to finish a par 5 to finish your day

Great unique layout, every hole is different

This is one of my favorite courses, no two holes are the same, they are all very unique and different vrs a cookie cutter course. It is a links layout with many large bunkers which can make the course challenging so try and stay out of them, the back 9 is very strong, especially holes #10-11. #18 is a good par 5 with an island green, Riverlakes also has one of the best driving ranges around and its all grass! Only bummer today was the restaurant was closed due to covid and the food is always good and servers very friendly

Good enough but should be better.

My most recent experience is that the grass was heavily watered and was also a little tall. It doesn’t seem that they are investing enough to keep it like it should be. It’s not in bad shape it’s just average and should be above average.

You get what you pay for

I was able to play RiverLakes for $18.75 so it was worth it. With that being said, I do no think I will be coming back any time soon. The reviews are pretty accurate on Yelp for the course. The course is abused by novice golfers as evident by the greens. A lot of the holes do not have proper blue/black tee boxes marked which seems like a fairly simple thing to ask for. If you are using a cart there are multiple confusing parts of the path with little to no direction. The 18th is interesting. The green is surrounded by water with roughly 30 dead fish floating at the surface with the smell that matches such a sight.

The greens needed a little work with so many divets, but the course was fairly well maintained.
