Second review - not as great
Showed up on a Sunday 30 mins before a tee time at 12:10. Paid for 3 but two canceled so was alone. No problem but was forced to join up two holes in with another player 20 minutes after my time who paid to play by himself. Great guy but he wanted to play alone which I understand and having paid for three tee times myself I would have thought I would have been able to have my own cart. Like to play this course often but do feel like I get the 'cold shoulder' from the desk staff whenever I book through golf now. Seems that they are irritated that I had the sense to sign up for the discount. Bottom line this trip out, not enough carts and regardless of where I book the time, I paid too, for three people no less. I'll be back because it's convenient but come on riverbend, I'm a faithful player and book with you multiple times a month.
this course fairways need attention
the fairways needs attention. Tee time booked was delayed by 45 minutes. Some of the fairways are hard as a rock and others are covered with sand. The greens have been improved. It is a good place to do a practice round for the money.
Fun course - Good value - Nice people
Played 18 on a Thursday late morning. Not crowed, plenty of time to take an extra shot or two. Try to play here twice a month and it's always fun. Staff is always making improvements. Greens were in pretty good shape, some were extremely nice. The recent overseeding is looking good. A lot of good holes to play here.
Overall a good experience.
Good value for the money. Staff could work on people skills and interactions with customers.
Good challenging course.
Some very tight driving holes. Plenty of places to get into trouble. I have been playing the course for two years or better and the course condition is the best I have seen it. Their work is paying off.
A nice little course of the beaten path.
For the value it's an excellent course. very narrow on some holes with a lot of ponds. greens are pretty undulating but on the smallish side. A nice change of pace.
