Sometimes Lucky!

Public golf, muni or semi-private, is a foursome not of your making. Conventional courtesy keeps the game moving and disgruntlement is discouraged.

But sometimes you get lucky and your temporary friends enjoy the game as you do; scoring is optional.

So it was yesterday at Riverwalk.

Disappointing

It’s disappointing to see such a great course in such poor condition — it looks more like a desert than a golf course.

Who is paying $120+ for this

Conditions are absolutely terrible. The price is even worse. Tee boxes and fairways are horrible. The fairways are rough and the rough is rougher. Last played this course about 2 years ago and nothing has changed. I can’t believe people are willing to pay $100+ to play this course. Not worth the price. This is a $50 course at the max. At least it has a waterfall right.

Course needs help

This was in horrible shape. When you can’t play off of grass in the middle of the fairway, it’s a problem.

Moe’s Review

The course overall was nice. Liked the layout of the course and the greens were on par! Some of the fairways needs some improvement (dry, beat up) that also includes some of the T boxes. Otherwise great course, love the layout and will be back to play again!!!

Getting worse

Slowly declining every time I play here. Fairways are the worst Ive ever seen. No sand in the bunkers. I understand why they’re not investing back into it but at least lower the price.

Fun but overpriced

I enjoyed my round but mainly because the greens were in perfect condition and the layout is interesting and challenging. None of the fairways are in championship condition so be aware that the round will be overpriced.

Rip Off

This place is over $100 on a weekday. This course is not nearly nice enough to warrant a hundred plus dollar round.

Greens rolling great!

Greens were fantastic and some new sod In fairways. They’re definitely continuing to upkeep the course well. We had a group of 12 played in 4 hours and 20 minutes on a Saturday. Pace was great. Tony in the shop was great. His service was very much appreciated! We will be back.

Course is too expensive to play even walking. Cheaper for me to walk on at Tory pines.

Use to be nice

This use to be a great course and could be again with a little work, fairways and in bad shape, no sand in most bunkers and watch out for the crazy bird as you walk up from the parking lot in the tree just north of the snack shop, it will attack you if you are wearing a white bucket hat CRAZY
