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.

slow play behind 4 groups of 5 golfers.

enjoyed playing the course till i got to the back nine. they let 5 somes off the back before people making the turn (5 somes). pace of play for the front was great, pace of play for the back was an hour extra. if you dont mind slow play this is the course for you.

Good Course

Reading previous reviews I wasn't sure what to expect. The fairways and greens were in great shape. Greens are a little challenging but not overly difficult. There was a least one five some a few groups in front of us that slowed things down. Great deal for what we paid.

Not a Fan

Pace of play was fairly slow...two tee starts, and the typical Sun City 5-somes. What was described as undulating greens really means stupid severe back-to-front slopes...some with 6-8 feet of elevation change. I hear they are shutting this one down to re-do the course this Fall...good idea.

sloping greens

Loved the course.greens were undulating and fun to putt. Problem is they let out fivesomes who are oblivious to what is going on behind them the group in front of us had two open holes in front and three groups held up behind. They really should try to move play along.

Good conditions.

Course is in good shape. Just be aware that this is a no frills Sun City muni course.

If you want to become a better putter come here, challenging greens are the norm. Be below the hole!!

Major issue with this and most SC courses are the people that work in the pro shops/starters. While they are very nice people they just don't have much experience in the golf industry and it shows. Allowing 5somes in front 3somes off the first tee is just a recipe for disaster.

Since this is a muni course the 5somes usually have zero golf etiquette and have no clue about the back up they have created.

Good conditions, challenging greens, poor course management which leads to horrible pace of play.

lack of communication with Golfnow

This is the second time I have booked the 12:00 hot deal tee time. Both times the course pushed me back 45 minutes due to an outing....I was told the 12:00 tee time does not exist...definite break down in communication...the course staff reflected their frustration with their lack of friendly service...

The course is enjoyable. Would play again.

The course was in good condition. The over seeding was recently done so it was cart path only, which would have been nice to know before we booked it. My Father in Law is 72 years old and was more walking than he needed. Some of the greens were a bit rough, but overall in good shape.

Fun and challenging greens

I enjoy the layout at Riverview and water features. The greens are challenging but that is the fun part of them. Who wants to putt on flat greens?
