This course must not be missed!

This is a beautiful course which we always play when visiting from Scotland. It is a great layout winding through quiet wooded areas with water on most holes providing a strong, but fair challenge to all levels of golfer. There are several opportunites for that one "shot of the day".

The fairways, greens and bunkers are always in lovely condition and a pleasure to play. It is complemented by an excellent practice range with free warm up balls to loosen up and a nice inviting clubhouse. The organisation is slick and the staff extremely pleasant and helpful. Indeed on our last visit I had booked to play on the wrong day and the team could not have been more helpful in sorting out my mistake and fitting us into the schedule. It saved my bacon as I'd kept this treat for the last day of our golf trip to celebrate a friends 60th! Do not miss this course if you get the chance, you won't be disappointed. We will be back in Sept/Oct to take on the challenge again.

Greens in Rough shape had just been sanded,a little too much sand..

Great course very challenging and in great shape other than greens being sanded. I will go back again. Great layout and staff was very good. It just would’ve been nice to have been notified that the greens were undergoing maintenance before playing.

Exceptional Conditions

Course was simply pristine from tee to green, and greens were perfect speed & rolled true (stay below the hole!!). Tee boxes level, fairways lush, greens & collars flawless. Bunkers had great & consistent sand....only negative was hole #7 (long par 3 over water) had a temp green for some reason, even though it looked fine & no one was working on it. Really looked forward to playing that hole. Had played here once several years ago and was anxious to return, but prices are a little steep for me during the season, so took this opportunity to play before leaving for the year. An outstanding track that has plenty of trouble lurking if you don't hit it straight. A must play course if you're in the area. Although a "private club", we were welcomed & treated very well as a Golf Now player.

Twilight

Booked a round later in the day because I’m cheap; great value at $55, but would be apprehensive to pay the rack rate of $125.

Great condition, greens rolled fast and true. Tee to green hard to find much to complain about, fun layout too!

Got stuck behind some slower groups, but luckily joined up with a member, we skipped 4 holes but it was worth it, no one in front of us.

Will definitely be back, especially during off-season when rates are more in my budget

Not in as good a shape as it has been when I played it a couple of years ago. Hot deals a fair price, but otherwise way over priced for April.

Pretty but difficult

We drove 80 minutes to play based on reviews.

Very very busy at Course.

Course is in good shape but extremely challenging with many blind tee shots. Carts are not up to par with the overall experience very old gas powered carts and not having a GPS if you haven’t played the course makes it even more challenging.

Play up to shorter tees if you haven’t played here.

Great Course,

The course was great, but in my opinion, the par 5's lack a real opportunity to go for them in two.

Riverwood Hot Deal

We started our round in the late afternoon with a Hot Deal. The rate made the course a solid value and most golfers had left for the day as we finished in 3.5 hours. The course was in good shape and the staff was most helpful. Excellent value and a good time.
