Great condition

Compared to all the semi-private courses in the area, Riviera has the best greens, i.e. low cut, fast and consistent from hole to hole. The fairways are in very good shape. The rough hasn't fully grown in yet (so I'm told from my playing partners).

I have to mention that Mike in the pro shop is the best.

Course was crowded but the pace was great with no waits no longer than 3 minutes.

Clubhouse has very good food & service. The ambiance of the clubhouse and facilities are limited by its structurally dated design.

Although golfnow.com can book a reservation, it really is a no advanced reservation course and has been for years. I'm not sure if changing to accepting all advanced reservations would be good, the current process has worked with little in delays.

Great Course

Golf course in excellent shape. Greens were smooth and fast.. I think fairways were over watered. Did not like hitting off wet fairways. Second best course I have played in Daytona area.. Will definitely go back.

Always a great experience

I have played this course about 30 times since I moved here from Louisville Ky. and I can say without any doubt THIS IS MY FAVORITE GOLF COURSE! The course is always well conditioned and very playable even on rainy days where cart path only is needed, there is not a constant cart path so easy transition. Great bar and food and drink. The staff is AAA+++ and Mike the Manager is always pleasant. The nicest, fastest greens I have EVER played.

Clasic Old Style Course with very good greens

This is a short, classic old style course where the holes are close together and the next tee box is close to the greens. Great for walking and classic old style. The greens are very smooth and fast and well kept. There are very few non-repaired ball marks which makes putting great and the greens run true. The course is quite short at 6,200 yds from the tips. Almost all the greens have a false front so make sure to hit on the green and not short or in front of the greens.

The rough is thick. The bunkers are well kept and manicured.

The guys in the pro shop and the starterare very friendly, helpful and accommodating as much as they can. A pleasure to deal with.

The condition of the course is not like some of the nicer courses, but at the same time the greens fees are very reasonable and a great value. Located very close to Daytona Beach and great to play if you are only able to fit in nine holes.

The driving range was quite beat up with lots of bare areas and no grass. The practice area is nice with chipping areas and a practice bunker. All the range balls are older balls that at some time were pulled out of the water or were lost balls that have been recycled and are now used as range balls.

Nice course

First time on this course. Played with a friendly group of regulars that helped me around. Fairways and greens were top notch. Was worth the 35 minute drive to get there. I will be back!!

Riviera and Rain

We had a tee time that was threatened by the forecast. We hoped to get at least 9 in as we we prepaid and couldn't cancel unless the course closed. So we got to the course early, talked to the proshop and starter and since they had a few cancellations the first three holes were open. We got out early, had three little squalls that required a slicker to deal with and had a most enjoyable round that took three hours. Course was in great shape. as we pulled out of the parking lot, the black clouds above, we watched as the predicted rain came with a vengeance. Had we started at our tee time, we would've only gotten in 9 holes. Much thanks to the pro shop and starter.

Great Old-School Daytona Gem

I had never heard of this course and decided to give it a shot when I couldn't get a tee time at the LPGA facility and I am glad I couldn't because they were aerating the greens there. From start to finish, Riviera was a great experience, starting with really friendly staffi. Although my Hot Deal was for 1:30, I arrived at noon and they told me I could tee off anytime I liked. This course was built in 1953/1954 but it had a more modern feel to it. The overall condition was excellent with lush, well-kept fairways and nice, medium speed greens. The carts were even new. I will definitely play this course again.

Unexpected Gem

I went to the course the day before my tee time to hit some balls at the range and that made me wonder about the course. The grass on the range was nicely mown but not well kept and the angle at which you hit is odd. The range balls also left something to be desired. My fears were unfounded as the next day the course was in tremendous shape with closely mown green fairways with only moderately long rough with wonderfully true rolling greens that weren't too tough to read. I enjoyed playing this course and returned two days later to find the course in the same wonderful condition it had been in two days earlier. In addition, the staff was very helpful. Full marks!
