The abundance of mature trees helped him achieve this.

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
Great - but some issues
Course was in about as good of shape as I've ever seen it. Most of the greens were fantastic other than 2 with some sections under repair and a few on the back 9.
For the issues:
-Putting people out in the middle of a tournament is terrible and greedy management.
-Lack of diligence from whomever the starter was. To be fair it was brutally hot out but at least set up a tent/umbrella to make sure things are moving.
-Bunker rakes need to be chucked as they're all rusted and a safety hazard.
Nice Day
I have played this course 4 times this year.
I have enjoyed playing here and I would recommend it most definitely
Mixture of good and bad
The shape of the course is getting a little better. Fairways and Greens are good but several tee boxes are in very bad shape. Don’t waste your money on range balls as the balls are old and you will be hitting off dirt or a mixture of dirt and sand… not worth the money for range use
Bring [lenty of balls
This course is more difficult than most in this area. The course is well kept.
Always good
The best course in the upstate my opinion. The course and staff are always good.
