Bunkers
Golf now deal is awesome!
The course is just average in that they are not keeping it up as was in the past years.
No attention to bunkers and grass not cut very well.
Tee sheet seems to be full so there is no reason not to keep up with routine maintenance. Overall due to the hot deal price I have no complaints but paying full price my rating would be worse.
Get it together riverridge you are better than this!
And always have been.
3-4 ft of rot around every green on the Lakes course.
Good course
Good course fairly easy to get tee times. Often wet in the mornings but still very playable.
Can always get a tee time.
Course is in good shape. Some greens have a disease around the fringes. Greens are bumpy. Sand traps desperately need sand added to them.
I’ll still play there again knowing these conditions.
Terrible Conditions. Great layout.
This course needs extreme maintenance help. The fringe around most greens is dirt. Fairways are thin and not maintained. The greens are slower than slow which makes it impossible to lag putt on these giant greens. Course layout is awesome and challenging. If they put money into the course it will be great. For now, 2 stars only because of the great layout.
Good course at a great price
Played 18 holes on a Wednesday afternoon by myself. Got the Tee time via Teeoff @ a great rate..played the Lakes course this day. Fun layout, and course is in god shape. Greens are a bit slower than I'm used to but they roll true. Great day, thanks!
Bunkers
We played and understood the greens had been punched last week and that was ok
however my big concern is the bunkers
and all of the bunkers in which had landed had no more than 1/2 " of sand in most of the areas. Then my second concern is the gravel in some of the bunkers Why????
It is really hard to play out of them when there is no sand the club can not go under the ball
for a sand shot !!!
Quality Layout
Highly demanding off the tee and can play long from the tips. Greens were in great shape, rolled true but not absurdly fast. If the wind is blowing it becomes a real test with all the water. This can be a serious course, will test your game.
Course needs work. 30mph wind all day today!!
Twilight afternoon tee times. Wind was howling!!! At least a consistent 20mph most of the day, gusting more at times. Made it very difficult, and slow going of course. Waited on every shot every hole for the front 9. Picked up here and there on the back, the wind didn’t really go away until almost sunset.
Course needs work. It just felt like the whole course needs rolling, as in, everything is bumpy, from the tee box, fairway grass and the greens. They punched the rough and used the thick bore, and they left all the dug up mud bullets all over the place so you had to move it around away from those as well the holes!!! Either way, the greens need rolling and flattening, they were so bumpy with extra growth on them. I will forgive them for today as it was windy so if the greens were quick it would have been nearly impossible. They were firm enough to get a bounce but definitely on the slow side putting.
I just wish the place would get back to being as good as it used to be a decade ago. It’s such a shame what’s happened to the place, looking kinda run down, including the club house.
The range is a mess. The mats are laid out on the sand, as the range has no grass. It’s looked in disrepair for god knows how long now.
What’s happened to the place. Please get it back to the good quality it used to be
Beautiful day. Course is decent for the money. Some of the views are spectacular. Greens are pretty bumpy. Tee boxes seem to be the same as the fairways, ie ok but not manicured. When I finished just before 6 the cafe was closed so couldnt get a beer.
Don’t play as a single
I was a single sandwiched between foursomes. I had to wait about 5 to 10 minutes on every teebox and on the fairway as well. The round took 4 1/2 hours.
