Riverview Golf Course

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.

Played as a 5some in 4 1/4 hours.
All aspects of the course in great condition.
Wide fairways are offset by undulating greens so overall somewhat challenging.
Good layout, particularly on front 9, compared to some of the other Sun City courses.
Very patient and friendly staff.
Great price on Golfnow.
Practice green by clubhouse is somewhat unrealistic.

This is the second time that we ran into problems with being over charged at the golf course. They charge you for a game of golf, add on the cost of a cart, then subtract $3.00 to get you down to the GolfNow price, and finally add in the tax.

I was charged one price while the other golfers in the group were charged another price. Interesting, this was the second time that this has happened.

While we enjoyed the course, it tends to put you in a bad mood starting off when you know that you are being over charged.

I like this course because of its wide forgiving fairways. You can spray it around a bit without much penalty. It is nice and green with slick greens. It is hard to find a course with greens that undulate as much as Riverview.

Still have some of the best greens in the valley and I am saddened they are closing the course and re-doing them. It won't be the same. Please play it before December 1st so you can remember really undulating, fair greens.

Great course! Very clean throughout, extremely patient and nice people working there. Only problem is that there is a need for a marshal for people playing two balls and extremely slow play w 5somes!
Other than that it is always a really nice experience at this course.

We had a 12:30 tee time, but they didn't have any carts. at 1230 they finally had carts for the 12:00 tee; at 12:45 they got another cart for just 2 of the golfers who had a 12:07 time. We asked to take pull carts and walk the front 9 then get carts at the turn. they were very happy we offered that, but you would have thought they would have offered at least a bucket of balls for the next time, since "it would really help us out"

Got to hole 11. There were 4 groups on it. One on the tee. One in the fairway 200 yard out. Another waiting to chip on. And finally a group on the green putting. Went to the clubhouse asking if we can get that fixed. He replied with the above line. Said to skip enough holes until it's open again. Not really a fix.

The surface of the greens was nice and smooth. They ran true, but the greens are so sloped side to side and front to back that there is almost no flat spot on any green to put the hole. Putts from above the hole, barely nudged would roll 10 feet past the hole. I have never seen greens like this. They need to re-contour almost all of the greens.

As always the staff was friendly - the tee time was spot on - the pace was perfect - always enjoy this course.

Looking for a great value this is the place! Greens are a little slow but for the cost the course was in great shape! Would totally do it again! Pace of play was VERY VERY good- Sometimes I worry about pace being its in Sun City.

First time playing this course and had a great time! Course was in pristine condition. The greens were nice and fast. Only one flat green on the course so you need some course knowledge to be able to have a chance on these big breaking greens. Overall had a great day. Plan on playing this course again real soon.

It was in prefect condition. Greens and tee pace of play under 4 hrs started at 8:00AM

I thought the course was in great condition.
Greens were good too. Great Day !
