Can't be beat

I love Van Buren. The driving range has plenty of spaces. The practice putting green chipping area is plenty big. The 9 hole course is fun and challenging, just what I need to get my golf fix! I love Brooks bar, omg the cheeseburgers and hot dogs! I think shelly took care of us at the bar she is so awesome!! They always have something new to try on tap. I wish I lived closecloser I'd be here everyday. Another plus is it's right next to the riverside airport so it's always fun to see the planes fly by! Can't say a bad thing about this place! Everyone is really friendly pretty casual and just a lot of fun.

Poor executive course

First time playing here. The fairways and tee boxes are trashed. Many tee boxes don’t even have the white markers to play off of. Tons of mud and ruts in the fairways. The layout is horrible. It gets very confusing when you can’t figure out where hole 4 ends and hole 5 begins. They need more signage pointing players in the right direction. This entire course can be played with a 7 iron and a putter. I like executive courses for their really short play, but the conditions here were rock bottom. I know the owners also own Indian Hills and Jurupa Hills as well as Hidden Valley. This little course obviously is the “red headed step child” of the four. Sad. I won’t be back here. For $17.00, it’s totally not worth it. The only good thing was the driving range.

Needs Work

For a $6 Hot Deal one can hardly complain too much. This is a 9-hole executive golf course with a great driving range (both turf and artificial hitting areas), along with a putting green. Surprisedly there is also a nice little bar on the premises with big screen tvs, food, and a variety of beers. The course unfortunately needs work. The tee boxes are ill-kept with some of the blue tees looking liked they've been placed in the rough. The fairways could use a dose of weed killer and the rough is unevenly cut and deep in many places. Over watering has also left many areas in both the rough and fairways muddy and swampy and rutted with tire marks. The greens are good, but the bunkers seemed to be ignored by the grounds crews. This could really be a gem of a little practice course with some better maintenance. Would most likely not play more than once a year in current conditions.

You get what you pay for

Star was friendly and accommodating but other than that, the course had a bad layout, the pace of play was extremely slow. Seems like everyone started at the same time.

Good little course

A buddy and I just got done playing another course and we didn't want to go get stuck in traffic so looked up this place and saw they had a special for $6/player we jumped on it and it was a good choice. Played in 1.5 hours conditions were nothing to brag about but greens and approach areas were in great shape! Pro shop and bar staff were friendly and range and practice areas looked decent as well.

Great course to learn on.

Had a good time golfing this smaller golf course. This is good to work on your short game. You will only use your driver once or twice. However what I really enjoyed was that planes fly over every 5 minutes. It's just cool to see and the view in hole 7&8 right next to the airport where my favorites. I'm definitely going back.

45 for 4

I walked off the course after the 3rd hole. 45 minutes to play 2&1/2 holes. I was sent out as a single with a twosome in front and a foursome on front of them. Arrived at every hole with the foursome waiting to tee off. Never again. I informed the pro shop staff that that was crazy. They didn't even offer me so much as a bucket of balls for my time .

A bit deceiving.... very disappointed .

So to start ... I passed by the course often and couldn't help but notice the range being lit up at night, which was cool. As far as the range, practice green, and chipping green go, I would give it 2 thumbs up, personally ..

I booked my round and thought to my self 16 bucks for 9 isn't bad at all . After I finished the first hole I got the feeling I should go get my $16 back ... The course is a bit confusing at first if you've never played it . But that wasn't even the bad part . It's hard to describe, but basically the fairways look like they been over seeded over watered and completely destroyed, there are greens placed in the most random places (in the middle of the fairway on the way to hole ) . The rough looks like it's just super long crab grass . And there's no fringes , it goes from fairway straight dropping off into greens . As for the greens themselves , they look like they are well kept, maybe a bit over watered and rolled a bit too much , but they were decent . As far as my round went, i shot 3 over on nine holes and mostly because I refused to go looking for a couple of balls that went off line (which I found on the holes coming back) . I guess for me, I was very disappointed at how bad the course was being cared for . I would definitely not be playing there again. But what do you expect for 16 bucks .

Good Learning Course

Second time playing here with 13 yr old son. It's really a good place to teach my son to play. The fact that there is only 9 hole is also a plus. Thank you for a nice time.
