About
River Place is finally established after years of financial problems that were resolved when Tom Kite and Roy Bechtol gave the facility new life with a redesign in the early 1990s. Located on the former Wilding Ranch between Lake Austin and Ranch Road 620, the Hill Country terrain is phenomenal, with a creek that dominates the front nine, and some dramatic slopes that never result in level lies.
The sloping is evident on No. 1, a 402-yard par 4 that requires a testy approach over a ravine from a downhill lie. No. 4 is tough because the creek rolls along the left side of the 561-yard hole before crossing in front of the green. And No. 7 is one of the toughest: a 430-yard doglegger that bends right around the creek.
The back side has a few ponds that come into play, but is void of the pesky creek. The one to watch for is No. 17, a 585-yard monster.
Getting there : From Loop 360, take Ranch Rd 2222 going west.. In about 5 miles you'll come to River Place Blvd. Make a left and look for the entrance on the left side of the street.

Unforgiving but fun!
River Place has always been a difficult course due to the terrain. None the less it has always been fun to play, once you acquire some of the local knowledge to get around..
One4 of nicest courses in Austin area
This is one of the nicest courses in the Austin area. It is challenging and you have to use all of your shots. There are a lot of elevation changes that come into play.
Beautifully maintained with excellent greens.
Staff was friendly and very helpful!
Hazards, some target golf, elevation ... challenge accepted!
Get ready for a fun ride. Just don't beat yourself up over your game; the course will likely take care of that. This course certainly has some challenges with (slight# elevation changes combined with various water/sand/vegetation hazards. It'll test you, but you should enjoy it. It's also quite the scenic course as it's cut in what was likely solid woods #oaks, cedars, brush, cactus, etc). Being a semi-private course, the rates are higher than average. Just find the right time/rate and check it out. And it never hurts to enjoy an end-of-round beverage on the patio afterwards.
