Return to Riverwalk

Staff and services were very nice. The driving range experience was just fine. Walked 18 and should have taken a cart, especially not being too familiar with the course. Front 9 is in better shape and has excellent greens. There is a fair amount of ground under repair but it didn't impede play. Greens on the back 9 were somewhat uneven. But, looks like management/staff are doing their best. Enjoyed it!

Fun course at a good price

This course was a lot of fun. Pretty open but still challenging especially from the blue tee boxes. The course was muddy in spots.

Fun round, decent conditions

We've played Riverwalk quite a few times over the years. It's always in fairly decent shape, but never great. They're doing a lot of work on the fairways (or at least trying to keep people off some portions of them), so there were a bunch of roped off areas. But nothing too limiting, and there were only a couple of holes that were cart-path only. The greens were punched not too long ago, but were fairly smooth and as FAST as we've ever played them! Being above the hole is pretty treacherous. Credit to the course for the good shape of the bunkers. Many in the area still haven't recovered from Covid, but these had fluffy sand and plenty of it. Other pluses: They allowed single-cart riding if you choose and the pace was awesome. Less than 4 hours starting at 8 a.m. in the morning. Overall, it was a very good experience.

Firm/Fast Greens

Played Riverwalk for the first time, the greens were rolling firm and fast. Greens are hardly ever flat. Fairways are generally in ok condition (grass is a little long IMO). Compared to Industry Hills Ike Course (which costs almost the same if you include cart), the fairways are not good. There are a few holes which bait you to bring out the driver. This isn't a problem if you can confidently carry 250 in the cold. There's also surprisingly good "hills" for a flat area. Bunkers can be firm when damp or wet.
