Total picture

When I say total picture, I'm referring to nice driving range, short game area with bunker, and 2 putting greens. Don't forget the cafe, friendly staff and nice daily specials. I live in NE but winter in Bako only 12 blocks from here. So convenient. Some days I'll hit balls, have a great lunch, then chip n putt for an hour. Man's gotta eat, and we all know how important the short game is.

Typical Riverlakes Mediocrity

Fairways are dirt, greens are shaggy, lazy workers make this a place to avoid. I played well,so this is not me taking a bad round out on the course.

Nice course.

Nice course, well laid out. Not the usual in the city back and forth. The course winds around a housing complex. The two boxes were flat, greens were firm, but not ridiculously fast. I will definitely be back.

Drove up from O☆C to play with friends. Course in good shape. Lots of bunkers with decent sand, links course so many shots must be placed to a position. Greens had some steep tiers and rolled pretty good.

Crappie sand traps

All of the bad reviews for this place are correct. Meaning the reviews on the traps. I know, don't get in them in the first place. Things happen. Pace was good at the time we were there. Some traps were completely empty, while others had water at 3:30pm. The greens were in good condition. Carts are trash.
