Tough Course

The whole course was aerated, but at least the course had lush greens and fairways to dig up. The putting was hard with the holes and sand, but we were notified in advance, and the cost was lowered on the hot deal. In a few weeks everything will be back up to speed. It is a tough course if you don't keep it straight. I probably found more than I lost.

Good Course

Riverwood was in good shape. They are planning to aerate the greens again next week. Approach shots stayed on the greens. Fairways were in good shape. No complaints about this course.

Work at High End Destination Resort

I really enjoyed my day at Riverwood Golf Club the staff were very friendly even the grounds crew. I work at High End Destination Resort here in Florida that is a links style courses which is my favorite type of course. But as a more traditional style course this is probably the best one I've played even over Innisbrook or even Bay Hill. The only reason I gave place of play a 4 star there was a very serious money game going on in front of us that slowed up the pace but that can be understandable. Great Track

Riverwood is the best

Definitely the top course in the area. Always professionally managed and always in top shape. Greens nearly recovered from plugging and still quick. Nice fairways and a great track.

Very nice course.

I love this course. It gives u a challenge everytime u play here. Must be accurate off the tee. Greens were recently aerated but still roll very true. and they actually held when you hit a pitch shot.

Really enjoyed it. Great value.

They had recently aerated the greens but otherwise the course was in terrific shape. A couple holes are quite narrow but great design nonetheless. No two holes alike. They must have a (praiseworthy) culture of fast playing. Our foursome played in 3.5 hours, and we had trouble keeping up with the guys in front of us, and they were falling behind the guys in front of them.
