Greens are the defense of this course

Teed off as a twosome at 1 PM and were done in two hours and 10 minutes.

This course has an easy layout but the defense of this course are the putting greens. Very difficult as there are no flat putts.

At $15 this is the best value in town. For that price I would play it every day...

The course has some diffcult holes with water in play and also some sand bunkers to deal with.

We played as a foursome and it took a little less than 4 hrs. Has some great views. The staff was very freindly, Nice pro shop also a good putting and chipping area.

Super Greens, lots of contour, fair pin placements

I have played all of the Sun City Courses and this is by far the best. My only complaint is the sand in the traps, there is none. The traps and bunkers a just dirt and rocks.

Really liked this course.

The course was in really good shape. Was a great deal for the money. Greens were challenging. We have played other courses in Sun City and find Riverview to be the best. We will definately play there again next year.

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.
