We could tell you had just over seeded… the course was very wet in places… greens not mowed very well… it was an ok day but I’m not headed back anytime soon… it’s too bad because I do love the layout… hopefully soon course conditions will improve…
Course Improving
The course has a fun layout and can be challenging.
The River Club
Nice layout.,...but....
Greens are in need of rebuild. They are bumpy and very grainy. Also, of course, they are mostly quite small.,
THe small greens are by design. As for the bumpiness, we overseeded this past week, and you played after first cut. We will be lowering blades gradually now, and you should have a nice experience now through winter.
Pace of play is beyond slow.
We waited over a half hour for a cart.
Had to be paired up.
Pace of play was a nightmare.
Sorry you experienced some slow play. Everyone is paired up this time of year as courses are all sold out. As for the cart situation, our seasonal cart delivery was delayed several weeks due to Covid. They should be delivered this Friday and we will have everyone situated in their carts well before their tee times as is our standard practice. Tony
Great track
Every hole is different. Very challenging depending on the tees you play. Always enjoyable.
Really like the course layout. Pace of play was not bad for a Sunday.
Course was in good condition despite no overseed grown in yet. There had been new sod put down to repair 6 or so greens. The staff at the front desk was terrible, not friendly at all. Staff manning cart distribution were a little better but not great. Friend got a hot dog and a coke and total was $11, which is high for what was provided. Got a $26 Tee Off hot deal which was great. Regular price is a little high for the level of the course.
You obviously have the wrong person. Neither of us were upset at all and made no comments at all to the person behind the counter. What tee time did your person at the counter say he had this exchange with?
This is Tony the course owner. I actually take customer service very seriously. In fact, my pro shop employee, who is extremely kind and friendly like my entire staff, called me while we were out of town to discuss the exchange between you and him in detail. You were quite upset about having to wait to tee off at your tee time. Not a problem! Book on our website, get the same deal, and play earlier. Problem solved. Make sure to introduce yourself next time at the course. Tony
Rebuttal to the course reply. I think their response says everything about their attitude. I tried to check in 33 min before my tee time, not over an hour, and I was not wanting to go out before our tee time, we just simply wanted to pay and not have to come back upstairs to pay again. I in no way said anything about wanting to go out early. I have played this course over 20 times in the past few years and have been pleased with the course each time. Good management would use this comment to improve customer interaction especially heading into the snowbird season. I still like and recommend this course.
We're sorry but you came over an hour prior to the Hot Deal time looking to get out before our paying customers. We simply can't do that. As for the prices, the hot deal rate was the same as our rate on the website, and you could have gotten out earlier. Check out WWW.RIVERCLUB.GOLF for great prices and no fees. Thanks Tony
River Club
The course had an interesting layout with some very challenging holes. The staff were very friendly and accommodating.
Greens are recovering nicely and the superintendent’s staff is doing a great job.
Food was very good after golf.
We’ll play this course again!!
Course was beautiful and in great shape.
People were friendly. We met the owner and he was very nice.
Only wish that on the turn to #10 there would have been snacks/beverages.
Will definitely come back again.
Poor course conditions. From reading previous rescues respondent doesn't seem to handle criticism very well.
This is Tony the course owner. I always give honest replies to all reviews. Your review criticizes the course and me on a personal level, but gives no specifics. The course is in very good shape with the exception of two greens that are clearly being worked on vigorously by our awesome grounds crew. I am getting compliments daily on the course. Tee boxes and fairways are in great shape. All at a great price with the friendliest staff in town. Email me at Tonygreenfield.golf if I can be of further assistance.
Greens Under Repair
Positive, played with my friend and the staff did not charge me for my junior golfer playing with us.
They always have been great to junior golfers.
Not the not so great, half of the greens are under repair, and covered with divot mix. So rolling true putts tough to do.
We even had temporary greens in the fairway… nobody mentioned that. Would have been great to know. Other than that, and a few very wet spots on the course after all the heavy rains we had, in good condition. Fairways looked ok,
Layout is always nice. Course had a birdies and pars out there.
Nice layout however,
This is usually a great course to play at. However, this particular time, the cart attendant (older, dark hair, looked under the influence) was very unpleasant. While we were loading up our cart, he dropped mini coolers from carts and started kicking and throwing them in a pile with an angry look. It was pretty disturbing and my partners and I just looked in disbelief asking each other what his problem was.
Other than that, the course is fun to play at. Carts need upgrading but nothing major.
Off the List
Labor Day golf. I understand that generally the course play will be slower, but it was brutal. Waiting 5-10 mins every hole to tee off? No ranger, no cart service, no halfway house open, very poor service. Greens were in horrible condition and it looked like the bunkers hadn't been raked/dragged in weeks, weeds were growing in several fairway bunkers. This course has definitely been neglected. It should be coming into good condition as we approach in season for FL, instead it's going in the opposite direction. Golfed here two years ago and it was quite the opposite. It's too bad, as this layout is nice, just horrible amenities at this point. Go somewhere else until they get their act together.
There was a bev cart on the course. We offer weekend cart service in summer, then full 7 day service October through April. Doing our best to recover from the summer’s excessive rains. The course is being prepped for winter over-seeding and will be in excellent condition as usual. Sorry about the slow play on Labor Day. Tony
Going Back
The staff was very friendly and offered advice about the course. Great layout and fun to play, I used all 14 clubs. I was not a fan of the nines not separated by a turn at the club house. It was very hot, you're not allowed to bring a cooler and there were none on the carts to store purchased drinks. The greens were being punched but that's somewhat expected this time of year in FL. I'll play there again.
We actually DO have coolers available in the bar area that fit on the carts. And we sell cold drinks, and sandwiches to go 7 days per week. We have on course bev cart on the weekends in the summer, and in the winter have cart service 7 days per week, plus the halfway house with hot and cold food for our customers to enjoy. Next time you come to course, please feel free to get a cooler at the bar with your favorite drinks iced down for your convenience.
Course was in good condition overall ( especially the fairways.and tee boxes) but work on greens were in progress, making some unplayable due to sandy areas and bare spots.
Yes we are growing in the overseed. It’s coming in nicely. Conditions will be fantastic all winter long. We are back on our normal mowing schedule this week so everything will be fantastic at a great price. Tony
