golfer friendly course

This course is very friendly to the golfer with most hazards out of the way, most shots. Greens are quick but roll well. Stay below the hole!

A good Course

I have played this course twice now and both I and my playing partner have commented that this is a bit of a best-kept secret. The course and the amenities are never going to pretend to be a premium course, but the course has been very well maintained, the fairways are lush and consistently clear of any bare spots, and the greens have always been top notch. The layout of the course is challenging for any golfer, but is open enough that you are usually afforded a recovery despite a poor tee shot. We were placed behind a five some on this round which proved to affect the pace of play, but once we settled into the routine, it was tolerable and we still enjoyed our round. All in all, I like the course, and at the rate it will play through the summer (less than $22.00), this course will be in the rotation for regular rounds in the future.

The course was a great value, and the speed of play was good. The greens were bumpy and hard to read, but otherwise it was well worth the money and time to play.

Customer relations leaves a lot to be desired!

The men behind the counter at check in left a lot to be desired. They are not friendly and are abrasive in their manner of approach. They definitely need a course in proper and appropriate customer relations.

Greens hard, traps hard and not raked

Grass is already starting to die off. If it doesn't start getting more water it will not be playable in another month or so. Hate the greens and the traps. Very sloped and hard and fast downhill. Cannot judge chip and approach shots as the can hit well and roll clear off the green. Need better greens and modify the contours so good amateurs can enjoy them. Traps are not raked and hard pan just under surface. A normal sand shot can turn into a disaster with traps like these.s Need real sand and care. Could be a nice course with some modifications and care.

Nice Course

I'm a decent player in my late 40's and I found this to be a very nice straight forward course. Really nice greens that will challenge you. Not the longest course around @ 6400 from the back tees, which is fine for me. We had a 5 some for the front 9 but actually played in 2 hours. The back 9 we had four and got done a little under 2 hours so pace of play was excellent. I have played the Sun City Grand courses and they are very nice but I also enjoy the older courses. Riverview is very nice and makes for a very enjoyable day of golf at a decent price.

A great golf day

Fairways and greens are in good shape. Sand traps are terrible and driving range hitting areas are generally very poor. Range itself is good with lots of good practice targets. Tee boxes need work as they were pretty chewed up in many places plus they are not very level in many other places. Still, this is a wonderful course to play and I know we will be back there many times.

Not a bad course

Overall not a bad course and it is in pretty good shape. I would play it again. One thing all Sun City courses need to do is quit allowing 5 somes and 6 somes, yes, I said 6 some, to play. We got behind a 6 some of grumpy old men who hadn't a clue what let the fast group through meant. Fortunately this was on the back nine. All in all good deal for the money booking thru Golf Now.

Greens need to be bulldozed!

These greens are like plates tilted at 30 degrees back at you. There are greens where if your putt stops near the hole, it will roll 10 -20 back at you if you are putting below the hole; or, if you are above the hole, forget it...you cannot stop it near the hole. Pro's wouldn't be able to manage these greens so amateurs don't stand a chance. They need to redo most of the greens for it to be a fair track....otherwise, don't waste your time or money.

Riverview SC

Course was in good shape, staff was okay, pace of play was horrible, unless you want to play behind two fivesomes and a threesome that couldn"t keep up with the fivesome go somewhere. And then add a threesome behind you that hit into you.

congested

Typical Sun City course. Flat, pretty straight-forward layout. And they love to send 5-somes out. When you run tee times every 7 minutes, it doesn't take much to back things up. 3 groups waiting on all par 3's. Pace of play wasn't too bad otherwise, but when you have to sit for 15-20 minutes 4 times a round it's pretty easy to decide not to play there again.
