General Old Golf Course

It has been awhile since I played this course. The fairways were in extremely poor condition. It looked like no care was given, no reseed, no water. The greens were average.

fairways in poor condition, overall a nice place to play golf

The pace of play really killed this course. Not sure if they loaded up the times to make up for the pandemic but it was a snails pace all day. Didn’t help there was basically a group of 8 in front of us. Didn’t see a marshal at all during the day. Cart also ran out of battery at the 7th hole. Overall, I don’t see myself coming back.

Course is in its worst shape ever. Greens are usually okay which is why I’ll tolerate playing here. But it’s pretty bad right now.

Also, i didn’t appreciate having to pay 2 extra cart fees just for my 5 year old son to tag along. I can understand paying 1 additional rider fee. But the gentlemen said i had to pay 2 extra fees. 1 fee was to have my other player have his own cart, and 1 was for my son to tag along. It just doesn’t make sense, but i didn’t want to argue or make a scene in front my child. So i just paid it. So for our 2-some, i paid 2 green fees and 4 cart fees?

The only reason I play this course is because it’s 5 minutes from my house. Otherwise find somewhere else to play and save your money!

Man, this course used to be the hidden gem of the IE. No more. Ever since the clubhouse was built the course conditions have slowly dwindled. Barely any grass in fairways. Greens used to be the best around not they have several grasses (weeds?) and are so bumpy. I actually got better lies from the dirt in the fairway than the grass parts. Disappointing

I’ve probably played this course over 50 times in the 30+ years I’ve lived in Riverside. The current condition of the course is absolutely abysmal. The fairways have almost no grass and are very dry. You almost never get a good lie. Tee boxes are uneven and hard as rocks. Some of the greens were decent but many of them were lumpy, dry and pitted. My only conclusion is that this once fun layout is being targeted for closure soon so that the adjoining Military Cemetery can expand. Very sad to see this once proud course disappear.

The condition of this course are fair to poor and getting worse. Fairways are very patchy and hard. Tee boxes uneven and unkept. Greens are patchy and not well maintained. I play here about every month or two and I think this will be my last. Sad because the layout is good. Hope they put some money into this facility soon.
