Rivermoor Golf Club

Nice layout Tree lined. Small greens

Good test for all levels.

Great deal on Golf Now.

$18 for 18 holes with cart! Can’t play nine for that price. And Rivermoor is a great course. Good layout. Plenty challenging and in spectacular shape. Don’t pass this place up!!!

Pace of play! Get someone out there to keep things moving! People play like it is their own personal course!

I'd like to preface this review by stating that I rarely provide post round reviews in general, but in this case my son and I both felt it was needed and deserved.

I've played Rivermoor in Waterford several times and had no complaints until this last round. The condition of the course on this day was one of the worst I have ever played a round on. The greens were not maintained in any way, other than being mowed, and were the color of a wheat field. They were nearly as hard as concrete and had bare patches in numerous locations. They also had debris on them as if they hadn't been cleared in weeks. The fairways had no give to them whatsoever and was almost like hitting off of hard pan.

In addition to the poor condition of the course, we found that simple golf etiquette was lacking as well. We were almost hit several times by errant shots and never once received the standard warning of 4 before balls landed within 10 to 20 feet of us. Numerous groups were extremely loud, even yelling to others in their group while other golfers were teeing off, hitting from the fairway, or putting. We also noted that social distancing was not enforced in any way as we saw groups of non-golfers hanging around the deck just socializing. We even saw a staff member ask a group if they were waiting for their tee time. When members responded that they were just hanging out nothing was said or done about it. Normally I wouldn't care about the non-golfers socializing, but under the current circumstances it should have been addressed.

In the end our experience was so poor that we left after the 12th hole when we were almost hit by 3 golfers in the same group hitting errant shots. Again, we never received the standard warning of 4 so we could at least try to protect ourselves. Between nearly being hit numerous times, golfers yelling while others were trying to hit shots or putt, lack of enforcement of social distancing, the substandard condition of the course, lack of any rangers to enforce rules and standard golf etiquette, and the $49 dollar green fee, I just can't recommend playing a round here at this time. There are just too many other courses in the area that would have been much better options for the $49 cost. The only good thing I can say about the round at Rivermoor is that the staff in the pro shop and bar area were extremely courteous, helpful and professional, which is the only reason that I gave this place even a 1 star rating. Hopefully Rivermoor will adjust and get back to being a great place to play a round as it has been in the past.

This is a great course. Beautiful layout, lots of variety, and well maintained.

I drove 65 miles to play course due to all courses in IL shut down due to CR 19 . Course was crowded for being 34 degrees but greens were in great shape. The people that play this course are mostly local and very friendly I had cart to 5 groups of walker waved me though it was great. I was able to play a 1/2 full course In three hours. Layout was fun many slight dog leg par 4 s so you had to target your drive. Some hills and some lateral water for fun. I payed. At 6000 yards from white tee a good test for me due to cold temp it’s a fun course I will play again

The course is in very nice shape even with the greens been prepared for winter but the best is the friendly staff

Need well placed drives to score well on this coarse not long but narrow fairways lined with trees

Nice fairways, greens in very nice shape also and very friendly staff, played 18 holes as a twosome in less than 4 hrs

Course was in very nice shape and had a great price for this course,. After our round had some great food in the restaurant/bar. Will play again.

Tee boxes hard as concrete - broke tees trying to set up ball. Most greens also very dry. Fairways in good shape, Road construction in Waterford made getting to the course a challenge - allow extra time to get there. Weather was perfect and pace of play was very good.

The golf course has such beautiful trees. Enjoyed it very much

Great coarse and conditions. Even though they had an outing it did not slow our rate of play. Friendly staff. Will go back.

Rivermoor is a nice track for the local community. It is your typical small town golf course tight fairways with tall mature trees everywhere. Fairways and rough were average condition but the greens were great. Pretty smooth and much quicker than I expected. The people their were very friendly and were a wealth of knowledge when asked questions. The price was great the restaurant was nice too. Definitely a place to check out if your a local or in town and want a relaxing round of golf. Check out Rivermoor for sure.
