Greens are superb right now
Enjoyed the course extremely and greens seem better now than even during the summer. Super quick!!!!!
Great course with some challenging holes.
This is not a wide open easy course. Some tight spots require good ball placement. I rated the value great because I booked a "hot deal" through golf now.
Great course, expect to be treated like an outsider
I've played this course quite a few times and have booked it everytime through GolfNow. This course is challenging, well kept, and very pretty. I've enjoyed the course everytime I've played it. Unfortunately the staff always has treated me like I don't belong there. There are dismissive, at times bordering on rude. This last time the man behind the counter (not the club pro. I met him at a different time) argued with me about whether I paid on GolfNow. Showed him my receipt and the email I received from GolfNow. He looked at it and told me that something was fishy and he didn't feel good about it. If you can get past the pro shop desk, you will have a great experience.
Fairways and greens were in excellent condition.
The only negative was the elevated par 3. The tee boxes were in terrible condition. Besides that the course was great!
Great course, great condition
Played on a Sunday after lunch as a single, starter worked me in early as I was ready, great guy, played with 2 members , were a great help for someone who hadn't seen course before.
This is a well designed course.
This was my first experience with Golf Now.com and I will say it will not be my last. They sent me all the documentation necessary to just walk up to the pro shop tell them who I was, pay and we were off. The only thing that might be better would be if you had the option to pay for the round when you booked it. Then you would just give them the receipt.
course
Very nice course, needs just a little TLC, especially carts paths.
I Got Played
As a course with Gary Player's name on it, I expected a lot and was more than underwelmed. The course is in terrible shape, grass growing wildly everywhere and not by design. Driving over a land mine would be an improvement over the cart paths Plenty of gimmicky holes plus you need your own sherpa to find your tee box at times. Obviously whoever was sinking money into this course stopped, awhile ago.
Don't let the name play you.
Course needs help
The facilities were beautiful here. The course had a lot of rain and surprisingly, it was not cart path only. I saw LOTS of tire gauges in the fairways.
There were 8 VERY SLOW foursomes in front of us, none asked us if we wanted to play through, despite the fact that we were just two people. I was told this was not normal but there were people leaving the course because it was so slow. There was no marshall to speed play up.
This course has potential, but it needs to be better controlled/maintained.
Nice features but the front nine was a soggy mess
It was not very enjoyable due to standing water & mud everywhere.
shot makers course.
Due to rain, course was pretty wet. Overall...great shape. Very nice establishment.
Good course but with issues
I have played this course twice before. This had to be the wettest I have ever seen a course due to all of the rain we have had lately. The layout is very challenging and a good test of all shots. The greens were in very good shape. Due to the wetness, if we had a ball land in the fairway, we had to clean the ball due to the dirt and mud stuck to the ball. Also, there were about 4 gnats per square millimeter. I know this was not the fault of the course management. As I have played this course before, I know that the staff will do everything possible to fix all course issues.
GOOD COARSE THAT COULD USE SOME ATTENTION.
OVERALL,THIS COARSE IS IN GOOD CONDITION.THE GOOD:FAIRWAYS AND GREENS LOOK TO BE PRETTY WELL MAINTAINED.THE BAD:SOME OF THE CART PATHS ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF REPAIR.A LOT OF THE SAND BUNKERS HAVE BEEN WASHED OUT AND NEED TO BE REPAIRED.IN DEFENSE OF THE COARSE,RAIN HAS BEEN VERY HEAVY IN THIS AREA THIS YEAR.STILL,FOR THE QUALITY OF THE HOMES SURROUNDING THE COARSE AND THE AREA THIS COARSE IS IN,THESE ISSUES SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF SOON.
British Open style
Nice course....but don't expect manicured course conditions and that's the way they want it. Very tall roughs all the way round....miss the green/fairway .....lose your ball! Greens were slow.
The course was in great shape.
Enjoyed playing for 1st time this year at this course. The people there were friendly and would recommend this course to all.
The only problem that slowed us down was cart path only ... but all the rain plays the main part in this.
Good value with the GolfNow discount.
Course has several beautiful holes. Rough is very rough and blind shots are not uncommon. A very nice course to play for variety but not the most relaxing course if you like wide open fairways.
very challenging course will make you play a smart golf game
a well maintained course with trouble on several holes. this course will have you thinking do i hit a driver or long iron off several tees.you will surley play smart golf if you want to score well on this course. we enjoyed our round on this course and would play it again.this is a great course for someone who wants to see if they now how to play smart.
Great challenging course
Tough course makes you put shots in the fairway and green. Not real forgiving for the ok golfer.
Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon!
River Falls is no cake walk. I don't think there is an easy hole on the course but if you can hit the ball straight you will love the course. The rough is high and when you do hit a ball into the deep rough, it's gone.
