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.

other than the challenging greens the course has really no challenges, so much so that I can loose focus and interest in playing, one thing most or a lot of the area surrounding the greens 10 to 15 yards out, the grass is so short and thin, you are playing off dirt

Great course, great condition

This is a hidden gem in Sun City and would play here every chance I got. My one found fault would be making the turn. They started us on hole 10 and when we made the turn we were backed up by new tee times on hole one. Oh, the egg salad sandwich is the BOMB!

Great Sunday on the Course

Staff is great. Putting and driving range were in good shape. The course from start to finish was in great shape. And for a Sunday afternoon, still finished in four hours. A great day!!!

Great course for the money

I loved the care taken for this course. The greens were fast but still fair and held a good putt. The fairways although mostly flat had bunkers placements that challenged any player. My wife hits from red tees and me from whites and the difference in placements was fair and consistent for every hole. The sand bunkers were consistent with plenty of sof sand and the day we played took 4:15 hrs. To play.

Worth the Time

I played Thanking Day . The price was GR8. The staff was very friendly and course was in very good condition. Someone forgot to turn the wind switch to off but that just makes you focus more...

Much improved

Played two times earlier this year and greens were horrible. They have really been fixed now, we even had to repair numerous ball marks, Greens were lush and a bit slow but very, very good. Fairways were wet from rain from previous night, but there was plenty of good grass every where. For those of you who had a bad experience in the past, I say let it go. i thought course was fantastic and greens are better than I ever remember. Can't wait to go back as I love the layout.

My favorite Sun City course

Typical Sun City layout, clockwise racetrack hole progression, with canal and water hazards down middle (mostly on back nine), and housing on the outside. Tee and green layout better than other Sun City courses (IMO), better visually and more fun to play. Plenty of elevation changes that seem natural, not just added lumps off the fairway.

Best Sun City Course

Over the past few years I have played several Sun City courses. The North and the South courses and Union Hills plus Sun City Country Club. All of those facilities had "attitude" toward the golfer. This one is the friendliest one. The Pro Shop and restaurant were very nice. Please and thank you's abound. So, when I can (after overseeding) I will play here again. The course itself is typical Sun City layout flat and less than picturesque, but very playable and if need be, fast. My twosome finished in less than 4 hours and were playing slowly. My partner complained about the greens being too fast and not holding, but I didn't have that problem. Nice selection of teeboxes to fit anyone's game and the carts were well charged up and fast. Good Place, Good times. You should try it.
