Rivermoor Golf Club
About
Originally opened in 1929 as the Waterford Woods Golf Course, the club reemerged in 2008 as the Rivermoor Golf Club. Along with its new name, the club also revealed improvements to the playability and condition of the 18-hole course. The design of the golf course was largely determined by the scenic topography, which is covered with mature trees and dotted with ponds. There are also a few streams that meander across the landscape. Rivermoor Golf Club is a proud member of the Audubon Sanctuary System. Beyond providing a secluded setting and great scenery, the terrain also makes for a challenging round. The trees frame most of the holes and water hazards come into play on a few holes. There are also strategically placed bunkers with which to contend.

Slow Play, But Nice Old Course
Rivermoor is an old style wooded course with smallish greens and always seems to be in good shape, the pace of play is another thing, the old owner group always maintained a ranger to move players on, I did not see one ranger and only one beverage cart out, which did a great job, the round took 5hrs & 15 min to complete and was not overly enjoyable!!
Hole In One
Course was in very good shape. Small greens, tight fairways, so beware. Did make a Hole In One on #13, 142 yard par 3 over two huge bunkers.
raindrops only
even though rain threatened it was a good day and course is in very shape good for mid-May. the back nine was being played first, which made me wonder why. was a men's/women's league clogging up the front nine? was the front nine wet and they were avoiding some use by having all nine-holers on the back? this did not seem to be the case either way, but the pace was quite a bit different. it affected playability. perhaps the raindrops were causing movement on/off the course and slowing play. still, it is getting green and they are in good shape nonetheless. june should be great there.
Great Value
Have lunch or drinks on the deck and watch golfers play 18
food always super
well kept late into the season
Played this course Nov 15th and was pleasantly surprised at how well the tee boxes,fairways,and greens were kept seeing that it was late in the season, highly recommended, great friendly staff
Overall Nice Course
This is a course I would play again. It isn't a long, but there are a few 400+ yd holes. Most of the holes are fairly tight with a little room for error. I like the greens. They were quick and rolled nicely--helping me sink more putts. The course was laid out nicely and I think I would have been able to enjoy it a little more if it wasn't so cold and rainy.
Good
We played in about 4 hrs on a Sunday morning. The greens were in very good shape but the fairways were muddy and a little bare. Had a good time.
good but would be better with fairways improvement
good course; fairways need deeper grass/turf; rather sparse throughout.
Nicely updated!
It was a pleasant round. We had not played the course for nearly 5 years. And it was nice to see lots of remodeling done. The electric carts are great also.
Short, narrow and small greens
Early morning pace of play was great.Electric carts were a bonus.Course was in good shape.Some narrow fairways meant some accurate shots.All bunckers were wet and hard making sand play very difficult.
Challenging Economical Course
Course was in great shape; greens are fast but smooth-very well maintained. Front nine plays longer but fair; really enjoyed our round
This course has nice greens & Fairways
Rivermoor is a great course for the value. Greens are in nice shape and the fairways are well groomed. I wish the rough was maybe an inch shorter, because it made it difficult to find a wayward Tee shot. Also I wish the Pace of Play were better. There tends to be (more times than not) a back up of golfers and the rangers don't push them to play quicker. I would like to add that the staff is very nice and friendly. Easy to talk to!
Great condition; great deal!
I've played Rivermoor a dozen times, at least. Not sure the course has ever been in such good condition! The weather was perfect, and pace of play was under 4 hours, so that helped. But, greens and fairways are superb. Surprised more people weren't playing. Disappointed with the lack of people in the clubhouse...otherwise, a great day of golf.
Good course if you can get it cheap
Was a solo player and wanted to work on my game a little but the club paired me with another 3 and I didn't want to slow them down from my pace of play and hitting multiple balls. Thankfully the 3 left at the break and played a hole or two by myself an then got log jammed. I then ran into an old couple that have been golfing there for over 25 years, and they were great. Very friendly and had a great time playing with them and hope to run into them again.
Nice course
I am an ametuer player so the course was a good challange for me with tighter fairways, water hazards, and sand traps. It was well maintained and good placement of facilities on the course.
WTF
Just wanted to play a 9 hole round on a summer evening....tee off about 6:30...by time I got to third hole , sprinklers fully engaged on tee boxes and some fairways....its summer!...light outside until 9 PM...why would you start course maintenance so friggen early...what is going on...do you have to tee off by 5 in order to get all nine in????...and why didn't pro shop warn me that this was probable....never again....too many other nice courses in area that cater to golfers who like to tee off after work..avoid this course after 5..or bring a rain slicker!!!!!
Course and facilities in great shape for this late in season.
Pro shop staff friendly as usual and remembered we had been there the week before.
Fun and challenging course
This course requires good tee shots on most holes to score well. Even right down to not only placement in the fairway, but which side of the fairway often matters for your approach shots. Many of the greens are very small and require good course managment. I thought the greens were very well kept and true. Many situations require very good reads to make a good putt because they are fast as well.
I like this course and rate it above many in the area.
excellent staff and course is excellent
the staff is very friendly. the course is golfer friendly with a wide variety holes that are challenging yet fun to play. they have keep the course in excellent condition. the club house servers very good food with a good variety. the golf pro answered all my questions that i had. the price is very reasonable for 18 holes of golf with a cart. i am looking forward to playing this course again in the near future and i will tell people about this course
