Good layout/5 some slowdown

Wide fairways, tough greens when the ball could stay on them. Great sand traps, lots of them but good shape. 5 some played ahead of us and no ranger to keep them moving.

Disappointed in Course and GolfNow

Conformation # 331174099. Arrived at 8:30 for 9am tee only to be told my wife and I would not have a golf cart. Being in 70s, walking was out of question, so we left. In my view, the club staff was not very sympatric. Also, seems they could have tried to contact us to let us know.

Tried to contact GolfNow but really could not find any easy means to contact them!! So writing a review plus sent a text to a phone number I had from 2016 hoping it works.

Fivesomes... Ugh

Course is OK but the pace is deadly slow... they allow 5somes; waited on every single shot and as much as 10 minutes on the par 3s. It's not fun.

Riverview Golf Course at Sun City

I really like this course. The layout seems simple but the greens are very challenging. They are the nicest greens I have played in the West Valley. Unfortunately the course was very wet today after yesterday’s record rainfall but it was firm enough to allow carts on the course without restrictions.

The only complaint, fivesomes.....why this course allows a fivesome out during prime golf time is beyond me. There were at least six fivesomes that we saw on the course. The other complaint is that they sent a group out on the back nine as the group in front of us was making the turn with us on that groups tail the whole front nine. WHY???? Therefore the back nine took 20 extra minutes to play.

Other than those two mental lapses by course management, this is a good place to play. We’ll be back.

All around great

Fairways greens and tee boxes are in excellent shape. Nice layout with bunkers on every hole.

Greens are fast and quite challenging but fair. Only thing to improve would be to increase the sand in the bunkers.

Finished our round in just under 4 hours. Definitely recommend this course.

Fivesomes

Play was slow because Riverview allows groups of five. On most courses 4 players in a group is the max. I will think twice about booking at any course that allow fivesomes.

Overall 4 Stars

Tees, fairways and greens were all in very nice shape. The sand traps were not however. Green side bunkers had way to much sand in them. Everyone in our foursome had trouble getting out of them. Weekend golfers have enough trouble with sand traps without this added burden...

Good conditions, tricky greens

The fairways and greens are in great condition. The rough is thin, you get a lot of roll though you may end up with a bare lie. The greens are pretty slick and had a lot of slope, really tested your putting skills. I like the course layout - there are some doglegs, raised greens and a “river” that runs through the back nine. The river was dry in some places, that will depend on the recent rainfall. Definitely worth the price.

some difficulty experienced

When I initially tried to make a reservation I got error messages although spaces were shown to be available. I called golf now the next morning and was able to use this method to get a spot.

When I arrived at the course I was told that the Golf Now folks were told no slots were available. They squeezed me in. Yeah Riverview!

As for the golf, once again I was impressed by the condition of the traps at this course (in 6 in 18 holes). They have an abundance of sand, a rarity for this area. Although the greens were very fast they were in excellent shape and putted very true.

A fivesome? Really?!?

I know we got a Hot Deal, but the addition of a 5th player to our 4some is not appreciated! The pace was already slow, and this made it worse. 12:52 tee time done with 18 after 5:30 and it’s dark. Consider this possibility before booking here!
