Always Challenging
This was my 2nd time playing this course and it was as challenging as the 1st time. Greens got a little crusty later in the round, but course was in good shape.
Water
I was surprised that there were No water stations on the course. it was a warm to hot day.
Good course but needs water
I like this course but a tournament had us waiting on for most of the back nine. The real problem however, was that there was no water out on the course on the day where it got up to about 93°. We were so dehydrated and tired by the 15th hole that I was just ready to have the round over.
Nice course
Would recommend playing this course with someone who has knowledge of where to hit it on every tee box. The course was in really good shape
There was a threesome in front that played slow and would not let a single play thru. If there are no rangers monitoring the course maybe this should be stressed at checking.
Sanded Greens
The cost of the round was high for the condition of the greens they had just sanded them the morning of our round. Staff did not say anything before we went out.
Course Knowledge
This is a course that in order to play it well you need to have knowledge on where to hit the ball. Many blind shots and distance control is of utmost importance.
Just a touch dishonest
Reserved my tee time through Golfnow. I passed up one or two courses that were honest enough to post they had aerated. Booked at River Falls because there was no mention of aeration. When I got there I was disappointed to see that they had recently aerated. Other than that, the course was in good shape. A few holes with blind shots.
Aeration
Reserved and paid on Golfnow. I skipped over a couple courses which had aeration tag "on" when I went to check out. Went to River Falls because it did not have aeration tag "on" only to get there and they had recently aerated. Frustrating and dishonest.
Good course!
The course was in good conditions, like usual. There are some holes where you need to have to be precise as the slope is severe and blind shots. So, you need to need to know the course well to enjoy.
Nice course but poor greens
I always enjoy the course, great layout, great fairways.
They need to figure out these greens, bare bumpy spots.. and they place the flags where the bare spots on the green are..??! Why do this. Put flag where the green is in good shape please.
Golf at RF
Played w/ a good friend, Michael. We had a blast and avoided the rain
