Back at River Wilderness

This course has a nice layout. Greens were in fair condition, tee boxes are better then a few years back. Still a few are in rough shape. Need cart gal. The rate is high based on greens and tee boxes.

Good Golf Day

Greeted and served by a friendly, efficient staff. Tee time was on schedule. Loved the new golf carts. Course conditions and course layout was very good. Hope to get back before the “ snowbird season “ ends.

Very nice golf course

This is a very nice golf course in pretty good shape for this time of year except for the sand traps which have a lot of stone and in some cases very little sand. Range balls are furnished with your golf fee which is very nice. They have a very nice range. The greens were in good shape not extremely fast. Obtained this course off of Tee Off at a reasonable rate, but they are hard to find.

a pleasant surprise

played this course 1 time years ago and it was awful. Read the reviews last week and decided to give it another chance. What a change, course is in excellent shape one of the best in the area. Greens super fast. tough and challenging but not crazy. Slow play was the only issue but weather was perfect. will try it again for sure

First time

After reading reviews, I was concerned that he course would not be playable. It must have undergone a renovation in the last year. Course was in good shape, especially given the rain the day/night before. I would play again.

There's not a lot of trouble you can get into as it is a very nice layout and the owner is putting a lot of money in it to fix it up

Wilderness

Some nice holes and good for all skill levels staff was great, but looks like some renovations around club house area... however, they should pay more attention to the course conditions , grass should be much better at this time of year but not much rain here lately...some greens and fairways inside very good condition but others horrible ,!!

Sand pit

This course was like playing in a sand pit. Unfortunately, I cannot upload a photo because every time I do it completely erases my review process. For paying roughly $42 a person at a hot deal, it was not worth the value at all. From my understanding, it is under new management so hopefully the course will improve but that is no excuse for how much it cost to golf in a country club with that kind of course condition

Like playing in the desert

Course is by far in the worst shape of any I’ve played. Tee boxes hard as a rock. Greens missed one key element, grass. If you’re looking to just hit balls it’s ok but if you’re into working on your game or taking a client to golf this isn’t the place.

She'll of it's possibilities

Terrible is the only description for the condition. Can't stick a tee in the box it's so hard, greens are burnt & hard & like putting on the moon. Fairways are full of dead grass. Wouldn't pay more then $15 to play here again until conditions improved.

The Greens are in Big Trouble

The clubhouse is great, the staff is very nice and helpful, but the condition of the golf course is rough. The green conditions, especially the back nine were deplorable - several were dead and should be closed for repair.

Conditions continue to deteriorate

Thought we would give this course another try for a decent price for a midday tee time. The course is in terrible condition. The greens don’t even have grass left on them...and the fairways are pretty much dead grass. I know it’s the dry time of year but the fairways and greens should at least have a blades of grass that you can chip off of or putt on.

course is in trouble

The only thing this course was missing was goats and chickens walking around.Every green was dead , every tee box was all dirt. To start out there ice machine was empty no coller out there to supply ice on a 90 degree day there wasnt a beverage cart on the ourse. The fairways you had to look to find grass I know I will not go back to this course I would rather quit golf then have to play there
