$30 is a lot to pay for a course that is almost entirely roped off.

Not great

Course is okay they are seeding right now so I’m sure it’s way better when that’s not happening. Customer service is terrible though. Nobody greets you and they moved three different groups times so everyone got pushed back. They pushed me back 20 min for being 2 minutes late. But no big deal. Just wish customer service was better in all departments

Poor course conditions

The staff were great, friendly and engaging. The greens were in good shape and rolled well. The rest of the course was in terrible conditions. Most of the fairways were patched with rows of sod that had just been rolled out placed down and were now dead. Lots of dead patches and rough parts. I played on a golf now deal otherwise it would have been way to expensive for the quality of the course. The layout was interesting and this course has the potential to be great but was just really poor condition. The sand traps were also packed sand or dirt. For the cost I won’t be back, I’ll play other courses in town.

Nice course and good bang for buck

This is a nicer-than-average course considering the very reasonable green fees. The layout is interesting and reasonably challenging, and the fairways and greens are well-maintained. One thing I'd like to see improved is the fairway bunkers. They are like concrete. They are no fun to deal with at all. All-in-all, though, I will definitely be back.

bad impression

started off with the shop attendant giving a gentleman in front of me a hard time for asking for a senior discount, then I was surprisingly charged a riding fee when I asked for a cart even though the golfnow booking says it includes the cart fee. didn’t feel like arguing so I just ate another $15, then there was no rhyme or reason to the starting tee, people seemingly just teeing off whenever they wanted close to their starting time, course conditions were very poor with dirt covering most fairways

A wonderful experience

My two friends and I played the course last week. Friendly staff, No wait to get out there. There are a few challenging holes, mostly having to shoot over brush. A good day was h had by all!

Solo Friday outing

Decided to play Riverwalk after a 6year hiatus and was not disappointed. Staff was super friendly and helpful; course was well maintained, and grass was beautiful. Greens were suuuuper slow, my only critique.

Poor course conditions

I was a bit disappointed to have had this golf course selection, the course layout is great but the conditions are terrible and for the green gees I had paid for, I felt completely let down.

Thanks

For me cost benefit is poor.

Under Repair

Every hole had a section(s) under repair. All greens aerated. Just a heads up at check in, would have been nice. Hope to catch course earlier in the year on our next trip.

Good Value

Tee boxes were a little ratty, parts of the fairways were brown (acceptable after the heat wave), greens were very good. Fun course.

Worse than municipal course

I paid $115 to play at Riverwalk today. Boy was that a mistake! Fairways were 50% dirt and 50% mixed Kikuya grass in clumps. There were sunflower seeds on the greens. Teed off at 6:30 and finished front nine at 9:14am. Almost a 3-hour front nine and we were 3rd off. No marshals present to push the group ahead of us along. I was an out-of-towner so I didn’t know better but conditions were worse than my local municipal in Los Angeles. Some greens were in good shape despite the 50 ball marks not fixed. Overall, 2/10 for course condition. I will say guy in clubhouse who checked me in was very cool and gave me a free cart.

Greens Always Nice

Played many times always in similar condition.Wetness around fairways.Some dry areas roped off.Areas overall playable, especially when it was.

Very light play this day Overall fun experience greens always soft. Receptive, not really fast, but fairly true. Typically always have fun here, just some.

Inconsistencies, throw out.
