Greens and tee box

I have played this course 4 times now. The first I was highly impressed with the course the greens were good fairways I loved the layout was impressive. 2nd time as well got mine and my parties perk range balls. 3 rd time I was thinking the course needed some TLC. Today when we played I brought friends to have them play a fun and challenging course. The greens were terrible, tee boxes were nothing but weeds and the cart parts were in very bad shape. So for the most part I will not spend $30 to play there again. Also I had to plead to get my range balls that were suppose to be included with the price we paid for the round.

nice course

I like this course, don't have to search for your balls as there is plenty of fairway, Riding to you tress you can just picture dinosaurs coming thru the brush as it has a Jurassic park feel to it. The greens are a little rough in places and some burn out grasses around. But overall a fun time was had.

Social Distancing

I was very upset that I was told I would have to share a cart or pay $5 to ride alone. They have 2 signs saying social distancing is strictly enforced, so why do I have to share a cart? The course itself has seen better days. Most of the greens had patches of weeds which is not very good when trying to put. I have played this course for 5 years and have never had staff members be a rude as the person and the pro shop desk and the the person assigning carts.

Riverbend Golf

The greens were aerated almost two weeks ago and have not repaired it self even with all of the rain. Some of the greens show A few bad areas. This is one of my favorite courses but it need some work. Not worth Forty Dollars.
