Interesting greens

The course was in OK condition. The ground is firm even in the fairways. The approaches to the slopped greens are not easy. Balls tends to bounce coming in. The bunkers had been freshly filled with very loose sand which made them doubly tough. I'd like to come back and give it another go.

Decent track for the money

Pace of play was a bit slow. Course conditions were okay if you kept it in the fairway. Inexpensive place to play if you are willing to wait until afternoon times.

Awful experience

Would not have booked if we had known that they allowed 5 players out per group. Got behind two different groups of 5, with one group with two walking. Played very slow

A good time

Fairways and rough were quite dry, so we all got more than generous roll out. Greens were watered so they received a good shot quite well. Greens at Riverside have quite interesting slopes and curves and there a lot of very tight lies just short of the greens so putting from 20 yards short is often the best option.All in all we had a great time. Pace of play was 4 hours and we all felt we received very good value.

I had a 12.07 tee time.There was no call up from the starter in the time I was there.The first tee was chaotic.I even had to help with the groups.Now, why are Golfnow tee times so late ?Plus we are usually put behind two or three groups of five-somes usually in their 70s-80s.

When I book hot deals there are usually only two of us.The other two or three must be buddies of the starter.So where does the other two Golfnow t-ts go?Just saying....

fivesomes

Every group that went out seemed to be groupes of five, Our group must have been the only foursome out on the course, took 4 and a half hrs. to play. Attendant at the golf shop was n't very helpful, wouldn't announce tee-times, Play was way out of order played with a twosome that was 15 minutes late.

Give it time

Fairways, especially around the greens, are a little sparse. Hopefully, they will fill in as the weather improves.

Add to that the roughs coming out of dormancy and it will make for a much better experience.

Fivesomes?

This course was consistently putting out fivesomes. If this is their policy they should publish it. The course has hardly any grass on the fairways. Staff was friendly but couldn't get over the slow play with the fivesomes all over the course.

Not impressed

Well I've heard about the greens and yes they are all over the place but that's not what was so deflating about the course, it's started with the rudeness at check in, the course is nothing more than ok at best, the fairways are very thin and tight, lots of hard pan on the fairways and off the fairways forget it, it's like hitting off a parking lot, lots of dormant grass and very thin and tight, the ball doesn't hold anywhere so with the extremely andulating greens the ball rolls 10-20 yards off... if your gonna have greens like that then grow some grass around them, I also can't believe how many 5-somes and even 6-somes I saw out there, not a serious well maintained golf course, I play the SC area courses 3-4 times a week and this was the first and will be the last time playing here, much better courses out there if your looking to play a good round of golf

Do Riverview

Will have to play again with sunny skies. Even from the tips, the first hole allows for an early birdie or eagle to get your game started. After that getting on the green in regulation is a challenge and the greens have plenty of undulation to make the best putters blurt out an expletive or two.

pace of play was too slow

They have golfers teeing off at number 10 and at number 1. This caused quite a backlog.
