Fun Course

Fun course to play, fairly wide open from the tee's, the greens had a lot of levels and undulation. Best sand in the bunkers I have found in AZ. Pace of play was good and value for money was excellent. Will play there again.

pace of play is slow always

Have played the course a few times and always have the same issues. pace of play is slow. we were behind, not one, but two fivesomes. everytime we play the course there is some problem in front of us. the bunkers have some much sand in them its sometimes unfair and for some reason the greenkeeper must feel like he's mad at everyone because the pins are always in the hardest spots. for so much play with retired people its seems they would make the course more user friendly. probably won't play it again.

disappointing

Have played Riverview often for years and the course condition was the worst I have seen in some time. Don't know if it has to do with the reseeding but the fairways were cut very short causing brown areas and difficulties in hitting. The greens, usually fast and well maintained, varied in speed and condition making putting inconsistent.

Hope it is a one time problem as I really like the course and people you play with.

Decent enough

Course Played longer than the 6000 yards I chose to play at. Could have been due to my lousy ball striking!! Pace was good (4 hours), conditions were ok although I thought the sand traps had too much sand in them. Overall a good challenge....

Nice conditions

Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were in great condition. You want to keep the ball in or close to the fairways. Nice place to play at a good price.

Fabulous, challenging greens.

Groups were backed up on every hole. The Ladies had the course in the morning (Tuesday), which may have pushed men to later, more crowded, tee times?. Two days earlier, on a Sunday, we played in three hours. Today was a 5 hour round. If you love fast, elevated, undulating greens, this is the place for you. One of the best golf values I've ever enjoyed.

still good overall

We were able to tee off a little early and as a twosome were behind another twosome that didn't want to join up. Ahead of us were 2 foursomes and we were a little worried about slow play. As it turned out we finished in 3 hours 15 minutes. The course itself was in great shape but did have some concern about a lack of golf etiquette on those before us. The number of unrated sand traps and ball marks on the greens indicate more rangers are needed.

Roller Coaster Greens

This redesigned course had greens which did not have one flat spot. Undulations were overdone. Unless you are a pro or an extremely good reader of putts, scoring on this course is very difficult. Since the average player is a Sun City retiree, the architect missed the mark on this one. Great course for a 10 minus handicapper, but frustrating for the rest of us.

Great Shape

Pro shop, practice facilities and tee to green all are great. Pace was a little slow, not unusual at the Sun City courses, but still it was moving along. This course starts across the street on the old number 10. Just wish they did not have the big tree in front of the tee box......LOL

Almost reached retirement age waiting on each tee box

Most of the time we only get to play in around 3.5 hours so it was great being out there for 5. Also they allow you here to play as a 5some or 6some if you want, don't even ask the pro shop just do it. Cool! Can't wait to play with John again. I knew he meant business when he showed up. USGA bag tag, CHECK. Headcovers for all irons, CHECK. Ball retriever, CHECK. Wrist watch with GPS, CHECK. Free information on equipment, CHECK. Reminding the whippersnapper kids in his group to keep the noise down, CHECK. I've never seen a true pro play in person so that was cool, I think he shot a 90. Amazing.
