River North

This course has new ownership and they are doing a lot to improve the playing conditions. There is still a lot to do,
The greens are extremely slow. Even though the greens have been overseeded they are too slow.
The staff is very friendly and we will play here again

Play only as a last resort

New management, but they need to invest a lot to make this place playable. I played on a beautiful Saturday morning and no one was out there. Now I know why.

Needs a lot of work

At this point not worth the money. Temporary tee boxes, nor yardage signs, and rough greens make it almost impossible to take the game seriously. I did see a lot of work being done, but the work has a long way to go.

Not good for cows....no grass

Course in bad shape. Not worth the money. The rate they charge is $18 and golf now charges almost $15.
Will not play this course again.

OK for practice

My wife and I hadn't played in a few months so we thought it would be a good idea to play an executive course rather than go to the range. This course was adequate for our purpose. Short par 4's and par 3's. Most of the greens were not too bad but there were a few that had some crab grass. We played pick and place where there wasn't adequate grass and since we weren't keeping score it didn't matter. There was work being done on the course but the previous owners had really let it go. It may take a while before the current pricing is supported by the condition of the course. Bottom line: If you just want to go hit some balls, get a little practice, and you aren't used to playing at high end golf courses you might find the pace of play attractive. Note: There is not one bunker on this course

North River Golf Club (formerly Pine Lakes) was a nice practice course before new ownership. The new ownership has increased prices moderately, but you can see the fruits of the new investment already. The greens are fantastic compared to the conditions previously and you can see the new ownership's efforts at improving the course quality already. The driving range is significantly improved, greens are true and not bumpy with weeds in the mix. The course is far from immaculate, but it's nice to see the efforts going into improving this short course.

Great Value

The course is not really any better under new ownership, as it is in poor condition.
BUT, for a reasonable price it was a quick pace of play, at just under 2 1/2 hours - just perfect for a very hot day.

Fun course

We had a wonderful time and would recommend to anyone who wants to get in a quick round and enjoy the day. We met Michelle, the golf pro and she was extremely nice as well as her husband. It was also great to have draft beer at the end of the round. The course is easy, but very fun and for the price you can not beat it. Will play there again if we ever get back to the area. Since the course is short, walking is definitely an option.

Good Course

The course was made to have a good time, there are no sand traps but plenty of water. Fairways and greens are in great condition and getting better all the time. The club house is clean and friendly. I had a great time playing there.

GETTING BETTER

THE COURSE IS IN BETTER SHAPE THAN A YEAR A GO, BUT IT STILL NEEDS A LOT OF WORK. PREVIOUS OWNER LET THE PLACE GO, NEW OWNER IS TRYING TO BRING COURSE BACK. IT'S OK IF YOU GET THE GOLF NOW PRICE.

In need of a makeover.

New owners are in the process of upgrading this old course. Some improvements can be seen, but it won't be until the snowbirds leave, when they will be able to make more progress.
The greens are in better shape than they have been in years.

Work in progress

Young man in pro shop very flip, when I told him had starting time with Golf Now he asked me to see it and proceeded to throw it into the waste basket behind him and said "You know the drill". Starter scurrying around trying to get people off the tee because they were running late. Putting foursomes out to soon so the foursomes were pushing foursomes in front of them and being pushed by foursomes behind them the entire round.

There is some room for better customer service. They treat you like a refugee. Wanting to see copy of confirmation from Golf Now. Just bad people skills. Rude, I show him my phone he just waves me off like he has more important things to do. Take this club off your list of courses, they don't appreciate the business. He asked me why I don't go somewhere else. Just always ready for an argument. Go back to PA.
