Great place to play golf

I have played golf at North River many times and each time I play the course gets better. The greens are in good shape the fairways are nice and you can play a round under 3 hours. The staff is the best and the food is good. I would recommend this course to all ages and skill levels, it’s a fun place to play.

Fairways are no different than the rough. Although, it is under new ownership, it is still the same as it was 20-30 years ago.

Windy and Free

Got a Golfnow Deal and because I had a coupon this round cost me zilch, nada, zip!!!!

Thought I was playing with 3 others who took advantage of deal, but when I arrived the desk told me they wanted to play as a foursome and was paying for fourth person.

So off I went and played my round in 2 1/2 hours. Warm and windy. My driving was right in, putting was pitiful!!

Course is continuing to improve with lots of drainage work under way. More trees and shrubs have been removed. Course is dramatically more open. Due to lack of rain, greens very fast and course was in good shape, nice and green!

Score ok and I enjoyed my time on the course!

Fantastic

have played a few times over years but course was always rough/poor. Several years a go new management took over, but still not much improvement.

Saw it advertised as new management and went to scout out and found out someone else took over as new owner last year. Looked good so booked a round with my wife.

BIG improvement. All areas cleaned up, new tee boxes and much improved greens. Great course for a quick game.

We were behind 2 very slow foursomes, but 3 of our twosomes following skipped ahead (1 quit) and then a great pace of play. Need marshall out?

Friendly warm up

Short par 66 course which is fairly open with just a few water features. Good course to play if you have not been active and before going out to one of the premier courses. They usually have a full schedule with the hot deals but play moves at a good pace. The shortness is complimented by the greens that seem to be true and sloped to make it a bit more challenging. Always a nice game with friendly folks.

(NOT ABLE TO USE GOLF NOW PRO MO CODES ) SERIOUS CONCERN WITH GOLF NOW

Course over all is improving ...needs marshaling to improve the course pace

Golfers need to repair their divots and have respect for the new owner improvements he has made. good things are happening their ( GOLFERS ARE VERY DISRESPECTFUL TOWARDS THE COURSE).

Excellent customer service!

My son and I had the opportunity to play here on February 22. I had booked via GolfNow and made two 18 hole reservations with cart. We were on vacation so I was just happy to play with my 13 year old. When we checked in, the staff let me know that under 15 usually plays for free. I said it was no big deal to me since I booked for two people and didn't want to book via GolfNow for a single player. Regardless, the staff insisted that the refund me. This was entirely not necessary, but greatly appreciated. In fact, they suggested I come in during the turn for them to do it. The new owner was there at that time and he was incredibly nice. He said it was important that young kids learn golf and was happy to refund the greens fee. If I could give them six stars for customer service, I would.

On to the course, this is a short, par 66 course with no par 5s. It was a perfect place to play for me and my son. He doesn't play much and is learning and this is a very forgiving course. For most, you'll leave your driver in the bag, but it was nice to have a quick, fun round. Plus the golf carts were brand spanking new! I would definitely play here again.
