No sand in bunkers

Over priced , paid $40 for a Saturday round, a year ago from now it was $33. greens & fairways are good to very good, bunkers are terrible !! NO SAND just hardpan surface ok for hitting out of in fairway bunkers but cost me strokes on green side bunkers unless you putt out of them ! NO WAY can you pull off a sand shot out of these.

Challenging greens but wide open fairways!

Here is a course right in Sun City, convenient, close but still very challenging with not one perfectly flat green and very tough pin placements. The fairways are wide enough with a little room for forgiveness. The staff, organization and rental carts are top notch. Recommend playing here for a great afternoon or morning!

Great challenging greens

Course should eliminate 5 player groups--we were a 3 some behind a 5 some--waited on every shot and I mean every shot--could get no rythem going whatsoever--I've played here numerous times always enjoyed the course--but this 5 some is really irritating and will have me playing elsewhere in the future.

Severely Sloped

Nice course, great condition both fairways and greens, but a lot of greens are very severely sloped. Holes are punched on severe slopes. Actually illegal to PGA hole placement regualtion (in my opinion). If you are above the hole less then 4 ft away and miss a putt it will roll out as far as 15 to 20ft. You must keep the ball below the hole on at least 14 of 18 greens or you will walk away with a lot of 3-putts. If a red flag (front pin) you must land on fringe in order to make a 2-putt par. Very frustrating if you are in birdie range and pin high or above the hole and you are FORCED to lag putt to the hole so you can get a par. I am all for a challenge, but punching holes on severe slopes feels like you are playing Minature Golf.

Greens are outside the envelope of normalcy.

Average course with greens which are borderline unfair. Some greens have slopes which are impossible; most golfers will find them too difficult. Check-in was a fiasco and took 30 minutes....10 people in line, phone ringing off the hook, no carts, and only one poor stressed out senior employee in the golf shop attempting to handle all that.

Greens are in great shape.

Riverview is in good shape, greens are rolling nice and most of the fairways are mown. Rough is dormant Bermuda. Pace of play was good, had to wait on a few holes, but Tuesday is Ladies Day in Sun City.

Difficult greens for putting due to slopes and slow speed, but the course was very friendly with wide forgiving fairways.

Tee boxes need to be greened up, but the course overall was very good. 18 handicapper.

Reviews are accurate.

Greens are tough. Approach and green angle are always a factor. Hazards are everywhere, but good play avoids problems.

Very challenging - course in excellent shape.

Fairway in excellent shape - greens kept in great shape. A very challenging course where you need to keep the ball below the pin to avoid very difficult downhill or extreme breaking puts. Not a course for a beginner.

An easy test, barely adequate playing conditions.

An easy test with playing conditions that were only adequate, and little to stimulate. The course has inexpensive playing fees, the one positive factor.
