A lot of slopes
This is a Gary Player design and it's a beautiful course. The course flows through a housing development and most tees are pretty far from the greens. It's got a lot of elevation changes, so it's not a course I would want to walk. Out of bounds is always in play. The bunkers were fluffy sand. This is a tough track if you ever get out of position, but they give you plenty of room on most holes. The 16th hole features a cliff left of the green and the river runs along the right. I hit my drive 50 yards short of the green and I was about 50 feet above the green. It's a fun course, plush greens, but very challenging.
Challenging but playable
Just an average golfer and this course has some narrow fairways that require fairly accurate shots, but was able to shoot a decent score - as did my playing partners - the first time out. Personnel were extremely friendly and helpful.
Difficult course, Not a course I would choose to play everyday
River Falls is a hard course with quite a few forced carries and what are narrow landing areas for the average golfer.I hadn't played it in along time and it appears the rough has been cut back some. In the past they had severe rough next to the fairway and it was easy to loose balls. To me this is a good course for occasional play and you need to take a cart.
Great Course
Golf course was in great condition and has been well maintained. Greens were in great condition. The course is challenging, but not so too hard. The pace of play was slow and I wasn't able to play the last 3 holes, but overall, a great course and experience.
Love the greens. Best in the area
Well maintained great greens & very Challenging. I love this course they have a great staff very friendly.
Tee times...
I love playing Riverfalls. It is a course that is in our regular rotation for my foursome. This day was a perfect day for golf. The course had some spots that were in need of attention just from the amount of play. Greens are always in good shape. The only negative on my day was that they were letting people go out before their tee times. If they had gone on an earlier designated tee time if wouldn't have been a problem. They have their tee times spaced @ 10 minutes. They let a group that was suppose to tee off after us, tee off in between the 2 groups in front of us which caused a back up all the way around. So that being said my only suggestion would be to work on keeping the tee time spacing and maybe a Marshall to move slow play along.
gary player
this is a gary player target style golf that is in your face no hidden secrets about what you need to do. good course with tall rough.
