General Old Golf Course

Course was good. Most of the fairways were playable but dry. I was impressed with the greens. They were well kept and watered. You could attack the pins without the scare of bounding like hitting concrete.

I have played this course twice this year and I must say it is getting better each time I've played. Before this year the course was in bad bad shape. New management has really turned it around and if you hit the fairways your in great shape. All tee boxes, fairways, and greens are in good condition. The only down side is missing the fairway could result in a gopher hole snagging your ball.

I ventured out on a blistering day without even considering the weather forecast. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. I didn't perform as well as I had hoped on the back 9, but they kindly allowed me to replay it, which was fantastic. There were two holes where I found refreshing cold water, a small but appreciated touch. I will certainly return in the future.

Sprinklers were a problem, great greens and a fun bartender? I’ll be back

Overall it was a fun day of golf. The layout worked great as there is plenty of space between holes to go find my errant shots! The ground is quite hard off the fairways (where I usually play), so the ball really moves!

Being in the heart of Riverside, would love to see a few more trees near the tree to stay a bit cooler.

I’d definitely play here again!

I grew up on this course in the 80s and 90s playing with my grandfather who was anAir Force Lt. Colonel. I was visiting my family for Father’s Day and wanted to revisit this place as I have wonderful memories. To say I was saddened and shocked at the state of it would be an understatement. The fairways were dried out and extremely bumpy and the grass was as penal as playing out of the rough at most other courses. All of the water has been drained from the ponds and there is no sand in the bunkers. The greens were in fantastic shape and were very receptive but they were extremely bumpy and putts were a version of Plinko. The areas in the rough and between the holes were left to overgrow and it just feels like all of the passion and love that this course used to evoke is long since forgotten. It has a great layout and I think could really be a gem if some investment was made. But perhaps the golf climate doesn’t justify it. I spent Father’s Day here with my dad and loved the time with him but if I could do it again I might have chosen a different course or went in which much lowered expectations.

I have played this course hundreds of times. There are times when it seems the maintenance af the course is lacking and I don't play here when it is bad. Took a chance this weekend and the course is in much better shape.

Greens were good. Fairways were good. Tee boxes were good. Roughs are good. All are slightly above average as far as playability. I think it gets its bad reviews because of the out if bounds areas but that’s out of bounds. The fact that you can go out of bounds is good enough already. Very roomy course due to the fact that the out of bounds areas are technically still playable. fairly easy as well good course overall especially for beginners. Clubhouse great also full bar and food options.

Great value....pace was great. Range officer is great. Front desk staff...eh.. love the multiple par 4s and 5s. I go all the time for value.

The flow of play was horrendous as the foursome ahead was more focused on trying to look for their [lost] balls rather than [just] moving on; tried giving this course another chance, but the patience needed to play here is just not worth the reasonable green fee...good luck!

Good course to learn to hit hybrids. Im a senior (81yrs) but play to a 12 but still need hybrids to get to almost every hole. Starter and staff are nice and hellpful.

We had a great time at General Old. The greens were perfect, the fairways were decent and we need to go back more often. The last time we were there the carts were a mess. That problem has been corrected. The edges of each fairway were very rough with lots of gopher holes but that is how most course in this area are. The cart trails could use some smoothing out (or provide everyone with helmets) because you do bounce around a LOT! But we had fun and will revisit this course again. For sure!
