Let it fly
Good course to get your swing on! You really can"t lose a ball unless you hit the ball in the water, so crank it up and see how far you can hit it! Sand Traps are soft and deep and plentiful. Great Staff!
Another Good Day on the Golf Course
The course is well maintained and the greens are still running fast from the redo earlier in the year.
Greens need water
Fairways were nice, greens and around the greens were like hitting on the cart paths.
Greens are tough
The course was redone last year, re-opened in Q4 2015 so the greens are hard and fast. They will keep getting better. Course was in good shape, has been every time I play it.
The greens could use a little grass and care.
The course was a fun wide open layout. Fairways were in fair to good shape. Greens could not hold a ball no matter how I tossed one in. I'm a 10 handicap and I can generally spin the ball enough to hold a green. Not on this course. If you throw a ball onto the green from ANY distance it will roll through/off. There was effectively no discernible grass anywhere on the greens.
We could not figure out where the course name came from until the back 9. We actually found it amusing to see the concrete / man made river ( which might be 6 inches deep) flowing through most of the holes on the back.
Riverview
Course was in great shape, new greens are in very nice shape and pace of play was good.
Great sandtraps
Don't let the sour grapes of prior golfers sway you from playing this course. It's true the greens are very hard so you have to change your strategy to running your ball up to the green. Sandtraps are the best I've ever played in the west valley. Very soft and "puffy" which can afford you an accurate shot. Larry in the clubhouse genuinely friendly and accommodating. This course is a great little diamond in the rough (no pun intended).
Greens are in horrible shape
Worst greens I have ever played on. Course layout is decent but the whole course is rock hard right now especially the greens. Can't hit a ball that will stay on them. I wouldn't play this course until they fix them somehow at any price.
Greens are tough!
Tee boxes, fairways, and sand traps are all good. Greens are really tough, thin, short & hard. We felt 3 putts were the norm and had a few 4 putts. They redid the course within the last year and guess it's part of the maturing process. Given some time to heal, grow & flourish, this will be an excellent course.
Alert
Do not play this course under current conditions. The green complexes are new and "not" ready for play. Grass is sparce and surfaces are hard as as.rock making it extremely difficult to hold approach shots and putt. Only open since November, pro shop did not make us aware of this when we checked in. Would.have asked for a refund had I known before.playing. All they said afterwards was, sorry w e did not tell you this at check in. Not a.good value at any price.right now and would be unfair.to expect anyone to post scores with greens like this. Only time will this current problem and keeping people off of them so they can grow.
Unplayable greens.
We played this course several years ago and wanted to try it after a redo. While the layout is fine and the fairways generous in landing zones, it was a disappointing round when we got to the greens. None of our foursome could get a ball to hold and we had many that landed in regulation. I don't know if having good grass will help because the slope and difficulty level doesn't match the rest of the course. I wonder who the makeover architect was thinking would be the average patron of this course. With so many others to play, this one will not make our replay list.
my openion
My friend and I enjoyed the course very much, even if the greens were a little faster than we're used to.

Terrible greens
This was second and last time this year I played this course. Their course renovation was nearly negligible except for minor changes to putting and driving practice areas. They finish work around the clubhouse is nice. I did not notice any appreciable changes to the course layout. It is really disheartening to hit perfect shots into green and watch them carom miles away from landing spot. Greens are unplayable to the average golfer.
It's too bad as I really enjoyed this course in the past. Should they ever repair all the greens I would love to come back.
Well laid out.
Everything was good, Except the GREENS. I've played thousands of rounds on hundreds of courses, and I have never played such horrible greens. The staff admitted, and warned the greens were hard and fast. An understatement! IF I played there again, after hitting a green (the ball would almost never stay on the green) I would declare a two putt, and move on.
Fastest Greens in Sun City
This a great make over of a golf course. I played the course three years ago and this not the same course it was. Tee boxes and greens are real great. These are the slickest greens I've played on this winter.
nice course
The course was a nice course to play. The only issue I had was the greens are very hard and fast. I would like to see the green be more receptive to the approach shots.
Terrible greens
We've played here twice in last 2 months but will play it no more. they didn't over seed the greens so they're dormant and like putting on a vinyl floor. My partner and I both putted for eagles on the first hole (par 5) and my putt ended up off the green 30 ft from the hole! there are no flat spots on the greens so with the dormant grass they're so fast and difficult they're no fun to play at all. I spoke to the pro in the club house and that's where I learned they are dormant and now remember when I played Coldwater a few yrs ago and they'd done the same thing with no over seeding to save money but lost golfers as no fun. now with new mgmt. they're seeding again and very fun to play there. I hope Riverview learns this lesson sooner rather than later.
Greens
Course was renovated over a year ago, layout is good. Greens were the problem, so hard and dry not one person in the foursome could hold a ball on the green. Had to play to the front of the green and then the ball would roll off to the lowest point of the green.Not sure why they haven't watered them. Will try this course again next year while in Surprise,AZ. for the winter.
nice layout with tough greens
pace of play was very good. fairways nice.the greens were the toughest part extremely hard and fast.our foursome were continually frustrated trying to putt
Needs TLC
New course that is extremely dry with hard fairways and super fast unputtable greens. Save your money for next year.
