A shame the condition this is in

I had played the course last year and came back to play it again. The fairways were in terrible condition; very spotty grass-wise. Bunkers were pretty good in terms of amount of sand and being maintained. The greens were soft but very slow.

I was part of a 3some and my wife came to ride along. I was charged $25 for her to ride along, even though there wasn't a 4th who could have used to spot in the cart. Bad customer service......

Fun challenging course

Riverwalk’s 18 holes are fun, and challenging with interesting features to avoid e.g., water, creeks, strategically placed sand traps, trees , and hills. Greens are well maintained along with most of the fairways.

Why do you only have a selection of once a week or once a month and nothing in between.
