The River Club

Greens had been plugged recently so greens were w little difficult. Excellent lay out ,very challenging. Can't wait to play again.

Just opened back up because they were closed for maintenance. Greens were aerated. Not worth $45 right now. You can play courses in better shape for less. Come back here in a month when you’ll get your moneys worth.

Most of the greens are in bad shape. Which is not how I last remembered the course from a month ago. The prices are the same though.

It's a shame that courses in the area still want to charge high prices and not offer a half way decent course to play on, Greenfield has joined that list and may very well be leading the pack.

My advice is to stay away for a month, maybe the course will do a 180 and start heading back towards being in better shape.

#16 has always been a obnoxious par 4, that I love to hate. A well placed teeshot is necessary to get a sniff at par.

Design of the course is nice. Staff was friendly. Tee boxes and fairways are in good shape. The greens are suffering right now though.

Course was in fairly good shape. The tee boxes were cut good and fairways nice. Some of the bunkers were not done because of all the rain. Greens were in really rough shape, seemed to maybe have a fungus but there were a lot of rough patches and the ball did not roll well at all.

The greens were bumpy and patchy with foreign grasses growing in the middle. The fairways were patchy, a lot of times playing from dirt. My wife wanted to play and she didn't want to waste money going to University or Azario when she hardly plays. If your serious about your scores and your game you may want to chose a more well maintained golf course.

This course must be built on a toxic waste dump or there are diseased Z.O.G.bot grass goblins living under the greens because they keep getting worse each summer I play, or they just don't give a hoot about putting money into them in the low season, to say nothing of the drought of course. But private courses seem to manage it.

The majority of the greens are essentially unputtable and it's maddening for a good player wanting to score.

While the greens are some of the very worst in the area right now for a championship level track, the course layout has always been great.

You can play Bent Tree or Wellen Park for <30 and have a much more normal experience, although Bent Tree's greens are waning already too... It's just the sad state of low end public golf in Florida summers. I'll still play here once a month for the ball striking challenge and nice jaunt around the course. Robb is a great hire.

Proshop staff was very friendly, pace of play was horrible, I was told there was no ranger out there today. It took us five hours and approximately 15 minutes to finish our round. After coming into the clubhouse, we were looking forward to a nice cold beverage. It took over 15 minutes to even get to the front of the line and we were told to pay for our meal & drink right at the same time before we even had our meal, very strange. There was a younger kid behind the bar that didn’t know what he was doing (must have been his first day on the job). I’m glad the Proshop staff helped out during the lunch rush. However, I usually order 2 to 4 beers and I was asked to put them on my check to make it easier for me but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to stay for my 2 to 4 beers. If I wanted another one, I had to not only pay for it separately, but pay without cash. Apparently they won’t accept cash. I have played here quite a few times, and the grass is in horrible conditions, compared to November and December. I used to feel like I got a great bang for my buck but the service is horrible. I see a new face every few weeks either carts or bar staff. Looks like poor management when there is turnover in almost all areas, cart staff, bar staff very frequently. I am not a fan of the heavier side man with glasses; behind the bar and sometimes works in the proshop. Using the phrase “step into my office”. Unsure of his name.

I have played the River Club course for several years. I always liked the layout which gives all levels of golfers a challenge. The condition oh the course had deteriorated over the years leading up to Covid to the point that I had considered not playing it again. The club house and other amenities fell way off. During the past 3 years they have worked hard to reverse the course conditions and the amenities. They still are working and it shows. I believe the average golfer would find it enjoyable, the greens putt true and I good shape. I will be back in the area and will look forward to play this course again.
