Great layout

I liked the layout of course, had me using several different clubs of the tee. It is in a nice residential area but homes are well of course so did not worry about hitting anything. Course is somewhat open so as long as you don't go in the water you can recover from errant shots. Tee boxes could use some work and greens had several bad spots but overall was a nice course to play. they have a decent practice area with range balls included.

The Club At River Wilderness

First time I played their since before Covid and the new ownership. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I wish the Greens were watered because they were in poor condition. Hard to putt when the ground is hard as payment. Not going back till that is corrected. Happy hour starts at 3 pm good bogo deals.

Needs work

I don't understand how a golf course can be so poorly maintained. A ten year old could figure out that more water would make grass grow. I hear there is new owners. I'll come back in a year and see how their doing.

The course has a great layout

Staff was friendly and helpful. Have come to enjoy the course the past 6 months. Pace of play is excellent and the new patio area is awesome

However, The course conditions have deteriorated in the past month with greens and tee boxes in horrible conditions. I’m hoping they get the course back soon as I will be playing elsewhere until it comes back.

Nice Layout, good practice facilities

The greens are in bad shape, this was not the case the last time I played here. Also the tee boxes on the back n

9 are in bad shape. Some are no way near level and some the grass is in bad shape.

Good layout and most of the fairways are in good shape.

Greens have been destroyed by a fungus or something. Fix that and this is a keeper in a big way.

In Bad shape

This is a great course that I have played several times. The course is in horrible shape. Many T boxes have no grass and several greens are dying out. Hopefully with some work they can bring the course back to what it was before or better.

Irrigation please!

This course is drying out. Many areas on both fairways and greens are parched. I like the course layout and amenities, but it’s just too dry right now.

Always a great day @ RW

Club house and Pro shop renovations look amazing. Course is a terrific layout and conditions are improving. Will be back to 100% soon.

Staff is always great - especially the starter/ranger.

Tees and weeds

2nd round here. 1st round brought me back. Very disappointed in tee conditions. Might want to consider putting in driving mats. Weeds taking over around greens. Won't be back until grounds keepers get on the ball or maintenance budget improves.

Conditions seem to be deteriorating since our earlier rounds. Greens now in pretty poor condition. Nice layout tho, and a fun play. Price may be 15-20% too high for the condition.
