Lots of doglegs right

Wonderful course. I visited from out of town and played with some regulars. They were extremely nice and helpful, guiding me around the course. The greens are extremely challenging, as they are all crowned. The day I played most pin placements were just a few steps from the edge, making most putts quite challenging. Lots of woods on both sides of most fairways, but I only lost one ball!.

Lots of Doglegs Right

I was able to play with some regulars, and they gave me valuable information. Since I have a consistent right-to-left ball flight the course was more challenging for me than most.

Course is very forgiving on bad strokes

Besides the group ahead of us and the group behind us hitting while we’re on the fairway everything else was great

Unnecessary delays

The staff did not understand Golf Now is prepaid, insisted on collecting our money again until I produced my email confirmation. And no carts available when I paid for one delayed us 45 minuted :(

Nice spot

Nice course - course was really dry so it was tough to stick anything on the greens. Tournament was coming up this weekend so pin placement was challenging. Both of those seemed to be a deviation from normal based on what I heard from others.

Cart was path only which was a little frustrating. Course was in pretty good conditions and it’s a good layout with trees everywhere.

Kendall in pro shop was really helpful.

Great course for players age 65 and up

This course is very strict with its rules. The majority of players are older and playing from the senior Tees, so you will get pushed a lot as they are essentially playing a par 3 course. Heavily wooded so if you slice or draw leave the driver at home. Lots of leaves and cotton so it can be tricky to find your ball in the rough. It is almost always cart path only. But sometimes they allow 90°. But you still pay full price for cart fee which is ridiculous. It’s a fun course as it’s one of the only courses in the area with tree rows and dog legs. With that I’d bring some extra balls.

AI golf carts suck!

They’re a little to much over control with AI. We met someone who lost their cellphone on the previous hole. No way to go back with cart to look. If emergency happened on hole 2, you would have to complete your round to get help. Think about it!

Riverwood Golf Course 8/15/2023

The course was in excellent shape today. Some bunkers had a little water but all had playable lies. The pace was quick, the second cut rough in as drier and easier to hit from. The tee boxes were cleaned nicely and the greens are in good shape. The weather was perfect! Food and beverage service in the club house is so efficient I don’t lose any time at the turn. For a public course this one is hard to beat!

Beautiful Course & amazing staff.

Beautiful course with a wonder staff. The only complaint is booking on GolfNow. We had trouble adding 2 more players and accidentally bought extra rounds trying to change the reservation. GolfNow refused to refund the difference.

Again, nothing against the course or staff. The golf was amazing. GolfNow is our absolute last option for booking coursss from now on.

Riverwood Golf Course 8/11/2023

I booked a 9:03 tee time. There was an event scheduled at the same time greatly impacting the pace of play. The conditions are excellent! The bunkers have dried out after several days of rain. Many of the tees are being maintained and have been moved slightly making the yardage on the scorecard and signage a little off but nothing that would impact overall score much. Overall, Riverwood is an excellent public course, picturesque with a lot of wildlife to be seen.

Riverwood Goof Course 7/24/23

I played mid morning. The course was pretty wet but well groomed. The longer holes have a lot of leaves in the rough making it easier to lose balls if you don’t hit straight. The carts take a bit to get used to, it helps a lot to play along the cart path. Otherwise prepare to walk more than expected. The beverage cart is well stocked and has he staff are knowledgeable and friendly.
