Enjoy
The course was in good condition. We enjoyed the course very much.
Riverbend
They are having some issues with water/sewage. There is no running water or plumbing.
The course itself is great. Plenty of tee boxes to make the course as easy or hard as you like. The greens are in great shape, there is no sand in any of the bunkers.
Neglected
The layout is good and easy to follow. This course is really compact in a links style. I did not see one bunker or trap that has any sand in it. It appears their intention is to let them all grow in with weeds, not grass mind you. The only saving grace is the greens. Really good condition compared to the rest of the course. Fairways were mowed close but the rough is mostly weeds. This is a $20 course anywhere except where it’s located. Really for $35 I expected much better.
Falling in disrepair
Very poor conditions. Bare fairways full of weeds, greens very rough and uncut, no sand in any of the bunkers. They are not taking care of this AT ALL. Make you wonder if it's about to get sold.
Sad to see, since this is one of my favorite short courses.
Rain
They closed because of rain. But, a staff member named Chris texted me and let me know that they had closed. I really appreciated that.
Josh
Course is in very rough condition.
The greens are dried up and cracked. The fairways have no grass
I love the course and lay out, just a shame that it isn’t in decent condition.
Favorite Course
Play there weekly and always friendly staff and usually not to crowded with quick play. Course layout is awesome. A couple tough holes but a lot of open fairways to get you a few birdies!
No Solos
Rude pro shop staff, very odd rules.
Wasn’t gonna be able to play solo as the first off the tee in the morning. They were fill me up to have a full group of 4, with people I didn’t know. For all I know, they could’ve had Covid-19, and they would make me ride with a cart with one of them for five or so hours. Fortunately, the three guys brought a surprise 4th, so they made what they said was a rare exception to pet me go off ahead of them, telling me to hurry up.
I was on the 5th hole before that group behind me teed off and I played my 18-hole round in 1 hour & 35 minutes.
I won’t be back. Continue to decay, Tunica.
RIP Southern Hospitality.
First time playing
First time playing out here. Layout is excellent, easy to follow well balanced mixture. Not a long course, but definitely tricky. Shot placement is key here. Greens are fast when they dry out, but they hold the ball well, and it’s easy to place shots. All in all liked it, and worth the drive out there.
Not sure if sand traps are unattended because of former covid rules, but all the bunkers are like mud right now. Not complaining about pulling a ball or two out of them though!
Golf Now told me I would only have to pay $60 at the course and they still charged me $80 at the course. That in itself made the round of golf unjoyable
Very cold and windy this day
The course is a good challenge from the back tees and has enough hazards to keep all players honest. The course condition was as expected for this time of year. I've played this course several times in the past and I look forward to playing it again.
Riverbend
Nice course, can be as hard or easy as you like depending on tee choice. I think they are converting all the sand bunchers to grass.
