Staff unsure of course conditions

I called the course in the morning to ask if they were pen for play( we had snow a few days earlier), they said "we have some frost and it should be gone by 11:30am. I booked a noon hot deal for noon. I started to the course and called prior to getting there to which they said " we have SNOW on the greens and should open monday or Tuesday " They should not have let golfnow book it on a closed course and they should KNOW the difference between snow and frost. Doubt I'll ever go back !

Wanna to get back to shoot a better score!

Played this course in October and it was in fine shape. Fairways were nice and the greens rolled pretty good. I will definitely be returning for another round next season.

Pristine is the word

The greenskeepers here are outstanding, I give it 5 stars not for design or difficulty, but for getting every detail as perfect as possible.
The semi-private status coupled with a golf-now super price allows a frugal golfer the experience of playing a topographically flat version of Scioto Country Club,
The greens are the key feature. They were true and nuanced on a cold October day. I imagine that they could be as difficult as next-door Muirfield's if the keepers wanted them to be.
This course is a Columbus treasure, I can't wait to play it again.

Play this course if you can before it's too late!!!!

I'm a big fan of old mature courses with very few houses and mature tree lined fairways. Riviera fits that description and my eye. Really enjoyed playing here and hope to play again soon. Greens were in perfect shape and fairways were the same. When we played there wasn't a grass clipping out of place, it was in that good of shape! Good course and highly reccommended.

this course had very good greens and good fairways. No burnt pacthes anywhere.

The course was in very good shape with tee times well spaced and play moved along well. Conditions were better than most at this time of the yearand the bunkers are maintained.

Greens are fast, rough is wiry, mature trees. Pretty straight forward.

Course was good, but we had a slow moving 5-some in front of us (a 2-some). We had to skip a hole to get by them.
Because it is semi-private, there is no course diagram on score card, so it takes some time to figure distance and the presence of water.

Great course that doesn't get much publicity

The course is a hidden gem in Columbus. I hadn't even heard of it before. I will definitely go back. They could use either a map of the holes or numbers on the tee boxes. We had members in front of us so we just followed them.

Great course and a good deal if you can find a hot deal.

This is really a great course, but it can be very expensive if you don't get a hot deal from Golf Now. However, you if you can get a great deal it is definitely worth checking out.

Country Club Atmosphere at a Reasonable Price

Excellent course layout with plenty of trees, bunkers and thick rough. There is a little water too. Greens are fast and true although they were aerated recently. Course plays 6500 from the whit, 6800 from the blues and over 7000 from the tips. There is a challenge out there for any level of golfer. One of the better courses in the Columbus area.

Great course, tough for beginners and not well marked for visitors

Nice location, generally quite flat course which is mature and in beautiful shape. Greens were just aerated when i played but still ran true - will be really fast in good conditions!

Pro shop staff were friendly and helpful.

I thought the course was in great shape generally, playing behind groups with poor players was not fun as it is a VERY challenging course and took forever until I jumped a hole. No marshalling, no course indicators or maps but as a private club (previously) they did not need it I suppose.

Overall spectacular golf experience for the money.
