Carts

I like both courses ran by these people. Two things I don't care for - 1] They will not let you take the cart out to the parking lot to get your clubs - that doesn't make any since [you can when you finish your round..??]

2] We played in the afternoon and their wasn't any cart girl and the snack shack was closed.[they check for coolers] - when you start the back nine you are not close to the clubhouse -so the beer you purchased is now hot.

We offer coolers to all customers to keep their beers ICE COLD and we have a bev cart on course 7 days per week. Our prices for beer are very reasonable, and you can get what you need in the bar at both courses before your round with a cooler and ice. All carts are staged by tee times behind building. Just use the bag drop. It’s free and friendly, and you will have nothing to worry about on your next visits. Tony

A challenging course

Great course with plenty of water hazards

My only disappointment was the green were very slow but it was 2 weeks after the hurricane so staff were probably busy clearing fallen trees

Nice course and great conditions

Great experience end to end starting with great staff at every interaction: polite, professional and courteous. Unique and challenging course- tough in places with some fantastic fun holes.

Great experience and I look forward to playing it again.

Well Worth It.

I played on a weekday afternoon, and had the course almost to myself. It was hot out, but there were ample water stations along the way to help out. The course is in nice shape with plenty of grass on the fairways, and the greens rolling moderately fast. I enjoyed the round and it was a good value. I will be back soon.

Great value

Played off the blue tee’s which provide a testing course. Played many times over 30 years when visiting from England. The course has always had problems in the wet so more than pleasantly surprised despite all the recent rain the corse is holding up very well. A new owner has began to invest in the course and it shows since our last visit 4 years ago (not able to visit due to pandemic). Staff very friendly. Worth a visit if in the area and you want to play a decent course offering great value.

Okay

Bunkers were full of water. Tee boxes have poor drainage. GPS did not work. Pace of play was horrible.

Challenging course in good condition.

Course was wet, cart path only, grass lush and green everywhere, front nine very scenic and challenging, back nine not quite so, driving range closed, slow foursomes in front on early Sunday morning, good value for the money.

Ehh

Only thing positive about this course is their 16th hole. Other than that I really don't want to revisit.

For anyone else reading this, The River Club has one of the best layouts in town. Very unique, tons of hills, tree lined fairways. Beautiful and challenging. Great prices, great food and the friendliest staff in town.
