Great value

The staff are very welcoming from the pro shop to the bar. It was a cold day so pace was quick.

Greens had been verticut recently but they ran much faster than they looked and rolled true. Considering the time of year the conditions were good. Really enjoy the round and would return if in the area again.

An Honest Review

Pace of play was not very good if you are a single, but if you are a foursome, it’s not the worst I’ve experienced. The pro shop and the young man running the carts were very nice and friendly. The course is in mediocre shape. I would not pay more than $40-$50 to play this course in the current condition. Everything is very tight lies. The fairways are cut extremely short and several greens are under repair. I can see the potential in this course being really great but at this current time, it’s just not worth it.

Riverhills

Course was in excellent shape. Fast greens, only a few that were being patched up but still playable and didn’t affect my putts. Bunkers were fluffy and new sand. Tee boxes were well maintained. Overall I think this is the best course iv played in a while, 10/10 would recommend.

Decent

Great layout. Some of the greens had some funk but overall was good. Kinda bad to see year old greens with fungus. Didn’t see anyone in front of us until 16th hole.

Love this course and atmosphere

Love this course. My days off rotate every week and I always check for a hot deal for one of my days. When you book, if you’re a get there 10 minutes before tee time, don’t. The free driving range , chipping area and putting green are great. I get there 45 minutes or a hour before tee time The coolers of iced down cooling towels at the range and on the course are a great extra

Good bang for your buck

Course is in good shape, staff is friendly, and you can’t beat the member for a day deal. The driving range was undergoing renovations it seemed so everything was off mats. The chipping and putting area was great.

Could be better

Greens are in decent shape, a couple bare spots on some holes. However, all of the par 3s are getting the tee boxes repaired. So every par 3 was playing 80-85 yards , would have been nice to know that before the round. Not worth the 80$ at the moment

Unbelievable Value, Perfect Greens

Great deal to play a truly private course. The bunkers are all brand new and in great shape. They were finishing two holes so they had two temp greens but for the price, it’s an unbelievable value. The greens are some of the best I’ve played this year. The best $32 round in all of FL.
