Over seeding

It was cart path only due to overseeding and the greens were in need of a trim.

Solid layout on the west side.

Overall, a much better course layout than I was expecting for Sun City. A lot of solid challenges in the course. There were also a number of easier holes mixed in for you to let loose on. My only real gripe with the course layout is the green on #12. It is so heavily sloped that it is pretty much unplayable, especially right now with the greens dried out for overseed. It has no shelf or anything else to land on and stick to. That being said, the course was well kept, even for the week before overseed. Be warned as well, this course is right in the heart of Sun City, so if a quick round is what you want....it won't happen here.

Very challenging greens; great condition this time of year

Course was a little short, played from the tips, but still a challenge. Greens...Wow, they were tough, all kinds of breaks, if you're above the hole going downhill, good luck! Course was in great condition, I'm sure overseeding is coming soon for it, get out there while you can!

Very Good Value

Greens were fast and with slope; fairways wide open (good for bombers); water on most holes on front nine on right side, lots of easy holes but also a few with challenge. The one negative is shortage of carts; we had to wait past our tee time as it was a very busy day and had to wait for cart to come in. Had to do the cart clean up. Nevertheless, I would go back if I needed a morale boost in my game. I had fun playing

One of the better Sun City tracks.

Efficient golf path routing keeps pace of play moving. Simple out and back layout but adequate space between holes prevents play from crossing into another fairway. Rolling greens can be challenging but are fun to putt.

maybe the best sun city course, easily the best greens. I enjoy playing all the sun city courses willow creek palm brook and sun city south but I never thought Riverview would be such a fun but challenging morning. 4.5 the bunkers I needed a trowel otherwise. fun

Green's are very fast and most are sloped.

Nice layout, but mostly flat. The green's are fast and almost all are sloped so a ball on the upside is going to the downside if you don't hit the hole.

Bad bunkers

Course was in decent shape with the exception of the bunkers. No sand or so compacted you were hard pressed to not blade every shot.

Challenging greens

I had a great time on this course. It was just long enough to make it challenging. The greens were well maintained and fun to play. I didn't catch the man's name working the counter in the pro shop, but he was very nice. I will for sure be coming back.

fun short course that plays fast....

Riverview was a fun course with some of the trickiest greens in suncity. From tee to green it's in above average condition. If they wanted to make it super tough they could cut the greens shorter,due to al the slopes and ridges on the greens. Any faster and it would just slow down play. Great varity of holes with just enough long par4' s to keep a player interested. I played as a single and didn't catch anyone until the 16 th hole and still got done in less then 21/2 hrs. My only complaint was not enough water stations on the course.

Great value /very good conditions

They seem to be upgrading the course- new parking lot, paint, etc. it is very good for this time of year. Was a god round, greens about 2.5 weeks being punched but rolling pretty good- fairways manicured & playing good. Only 1 complaint- they let 5-somes out which was horrible. They finally let us play through but it was bad waiting every whole. Sun city courses let 5-somes out & it's terrible!! Especially when they don't seem to want to let you play through. If they change that, I'd play there more often

A little short

Course was in good condition. I didn't like the rolling greens that much it was hard to get a straight in putt unless you were 2 ft. or closer to the pin, sandtraps were watered not raked. Course was a bit short. Overall it was a fun course. Staff treats you like an intruder

Great course in Sun City!

Greens were aerified but still were running a 7-8. Grass was great on fairways and greens, rough was moderate. Bunkers were in good shape. Awesome price at $22 for this course. For the average player this course is great, not too long, not too short and gives all ability levels a challenge. After June 1st greens should be filling in nicely.

Player "friendly" course for all levels.

The greens were being aerated but we still had a great experience. I'm an average golfer and my wife is just beginning to play. This course was just right for her and yet presented good challenges for me. The distances allowed me to hit all my clubs and the pin placements made me think about the approach shots.
