The course was in great shape but the greens were really fast the only thing the bag drop guy was really rude and no starter so it was a bit confusing when you teed off

Riverwoods is a great option

We love playing at Riverwoods. The course is in great shape, way better than most courses open to the public. However it is difficult to get a tee time, and the prices have risen to 150.00 a round, which would be ok but the pace of play is usually slower than I like.

Beautifully manicured.

The Course is first class. Nice Pro Shop.

Wide fairways and large greens. It is nice that you can play a private course like this one

Not worth playing at or after 4p.m.

We arrived in time for our 3:56 teatime but weren’t allowed to start play until 4:05. (After asking why we weren’t being called to which they said go ahead and go )The course is not very hard and the pace of play was very slow. This left us with no daylight at the end of nine holes. We followed the foursome in front of us to the back nine and saw that they had continued so we turned around and went to hole number one and quickly played three more holes into the darkness.

Great Conditions!

Riverwood was one of the best conditioned courses I played this month. Challenging but fair. I enjoyed more the second time I played it. I was able to read the greens a "bit" better. I will definitely return.

Pretty couse but painfully slow

We booked through GN and was booked between open slots in their member-guest. We were not informed of the tournament until we checked in. Our two-some wait ed 5-10 minutes on every shot.. PAINFUL!

We called the pro-shop to ask for a credit to play the 2nd nine some other time. They told us because GN got paid for the round, he could not give us credit. That was ridiculous since, I’m sure GN paid for that round. Not very bright. Lost a customer new to the community.

Strong mature golf course

I played this course five years ago , it was good then and really good now. Greens, fairways, sand traps and surrounds all in great shape. Green fees are a little pricey. Covid golf boom? Well run with a courteous staff. Look forward to playing here again.
