COURSE UNDER WATER

If the staff is going to allow play on such a wet course the price should reflect the conditions. It was so muddy and wet you would loose your ball in the fairway. This is miserable conditions when you are trying to get a practice round in. The greens were not horrible but we were out before too many other players. The grounds crew were running wood chippers while you are swinging. Coolers are not allowed but there was no beverage cart. I don’t plan to go back anytime soon.

Solid course

May be too difficult for beginners. I think is a great layout. Will certainly kick your butt if you hit a bad shot a the wrong time. Overall very fair golf course.

Always a solid round

River Club has one of the best staff's around. From the parking lot to the pro shop, the cart girls, the dining room everyone is engaged and helpful. The course is a great track with challenges but options on almost every hole. They really seem focused on golfers having a good experience and making a round easy to play.

Good course, good value

Challenging layout with good hole variation.

Fairways in good shape, greens recently punched, tee boxes are ok—all par for the course this time of year

Played a solo round on a Tuesday afternoon in about 3hrs

Would play again.

Greens were ariated again?

We played here a couple of weeks ago and the greens had been ariated a couple of weeks before that and we're starting to come back. Go play yesterday thinking the greens should be good but not today. Apparently they punched the greens again within the last week and there was wet sand everywhere. Fingers crossed the greens are better next month. 🤞

We need to aerify 3 times each summer if you want excellent conditions all year round. This was our second. Our final one will be in September. Usually takes a week or so to heal.

Summer play

Good round. Not too busy. Some heavily smushy areas. I hit the ball high and had some balls buried around the green. Other than that very happy I played here. Plan to play here more often.
