Riverview Golf Course

The overall course condition was very good but the greens were unplayable for the average (or better than average) golfer. Hard as concrete with severe slopes that won't hold a ball.

Course has been updated. Nice improvement overall.

Will play again soon.

First time I've played Riverview since their remodeling. The greens are excellent but very firm and fast. Fairways are nice and new fairway bunkers require more driving accuracy. Overall, it's a nice course to play and the pace of play was about 4 and a half hours.

The staff were wonderful and the course was in great shape. Overall great outing

What a waste of time & money. I'm not just talking about the greenfees Impossiable to hold a green, horrendous. Only positive thing I can say is that the club house & staff are nice apparently this is where the money was spent.

My wife and I played in a five some today with 3 strangers. Played in 4 hours and 10 minutes on a full course. Our playing partners and the staff were outgoing and friendly. The greens were hard but that was to be expected for a course that just underwent a major renovation. The layout was challenging, the condition was good for the time of year and it was priced fair for the location. Glad we went with the majority of the reviews of people that enjoyed the course and played here today.

Overall this is a great course. We had good pace of play on the front nine, but starting off both tee boxes (1 and 10 ) presents a problem when we turned the corner. Pace of play was over 4 1/2 hours due to the fact of starting at both tees. If they held back after a time it would increase pace of play.

I read the reviews for this course and decided to give it a try. Save your money and time and play somewhere else. They have 5 some sort going off the front and back 9s. That was really not too bad as pace of play was really not a problem.
The course is not in good shape especially the greens. The greens are so hard that there was not one ball mark on any green. I could go for n but enough. Save your money and go some place else.

The greens are like concrete. never did see where the ball hit on the green. Most time if you hit on the green ball rolled off. Lounge closed at 5.
Will not be back!!!!

When I am playing golf, I am always having a good time, wherever. but since I am rating the course, I must say that I was very surprised at the condition of the greens. They are beyond fast. And I am not whining, as I play on a lot of courses with fast greens. The ball rolls on these greens like a marble on a bowling ball. Completely unfair with downhill soft putts rolling off of the green everywhere. No way to score here. Rounds should be played with automatic 2 putt and move on. For a course that handles this many people, they would do well to slow up the greens, which would at the same time, speed up the play.

First time playing the course since it was refurbished. The $6,000,000 was well spent. Loved the plethora of bunkers throughout which guard not only the greens, but the fairways. Their placements encourage accurate shots and a misguided one means a considerable challenge for the "recovery" shot. The greens were a bit slick, but that could have been due to the cold weather. Everything considered, it was a terrific experience.

Played this course over the years before last year's renovation. It was my favorite Sun City course because it was the most challenging and yet fair. And, it was fun. Now it is an exercise in frustration. It is now extremely difficult due ridiculously fast and undulating greens. Chips and putts don't hold the green. 90 yard wedge shots carom off the greens. I typically shoot in low to mid 80s but could not break 100 with multiple three-putt greens. I'll wait until next year and see if the course matures with age.

The layout of the course is just fine. The greens were unplayable, not because they were fast but because they were hard as concrete with dead grass rolled and painted green. Not sure what sun city courses are thinking. Very frustrating to hit greens in regulation and have a 25 yd chip from off the back of the green, only to be chipping back on from the front of the green. Unplayable greens contributes to the poor pace of play

Greens are horrible,we had a group of golfers who normally shoot 80 or better and add 6 strokes to each round ,slope,placement,speed.

First time playing since they reopened, lots of great upgrades. Pro shop now looks like a pro shop, fairways are new and in great condition, sand traps have real sand (not hard and crusty like most Sun City courses), and swapped front and back nine holes. Biggest change at the moment is that the greens are lightning fast. If you want to know what the pros putt on, check these greens out before they completely grow in. Was fun to play but be ready for a lot of 3-putts.

Had not played the course prior to the renovations but was pleased to see the brand new larger tees. very nice. The layout itself is fun to play with a nice variety of holes. Golfers should be forewarned, the greens are extremely hard and fast given their newness. This adds quite a bit of challenge to your approach shots. The greens were really fast and there are a lot of undulations which make even short putts very tricky. There is too much sand in the bunkers at this time as they need some settling to occur. All and all a very enjoyable course to play and will get even better once the greens become a little more receptive.

The course is in terrible condition. I played it prior to renovations and it was great, now it is awful. The rough is all dead grass, greens are terrible, and fairways are bare in many places.

Loved it. For a beginner this is one of the best you can bet

Course was revamped a year ago and the greens are not even close to acceptable. Greens are so hard that chips and putts dont stay on the green. Plan on playing "automatic two putt" golf

Riverview lie dormant for a year and I was surprised at all the changes during the makeover. Wow, those greens are PGA Tour tough.
Still, enjoyed the round and the challenge.
Course is not long; played with my 88 year-old father, who hit from the gold tees, which he very much appreciated.
Huge bunkers with very fine sand, and lots of them surrounding the greens. Greens did not hold our approach shots very well, so we resorted to the "bump and run game" to avoid the traps, as the pin was usually in tight behind a bunker.
Golf carts appeared new... that was a pleasant surprise.
Never had to wait on a single shot, also a big plus.
