Riverdale Dunes

I've been coming out to Riverdale for years. Never had any issues with the staff, they are always friendly and professional. I'm very surprised to read recent reviews noting negative interactions with the superintendent...In dozens of rounds I have never met the superintendent. If players were doing something to catch her attention on the course, I'm sure it was pretty bad. You might want to keep your cart out of the roped areas and avoid getting yelled at. What i do know about the superintendent and her staff is they are the best crew around. The courses are in incredible shape as usual this summer, and the Dunes recently finished a major irrigation project with no remnants of the digging they had to do to complete the job.

In regards to COVID related last minute cancellations. I understand that would be super frustrating if you had to pay for a round that you simply could not appear for. Thankfully i have not had to deal with that situation. It would make sense if the golf shop had some leniency as we all still deal with the pandemic and its effects on our lives.

If you are looking for a round on a beautifully maintained course with a lot of variety at a one of the best values in the area then you will never go wrong with a day at Riverdale.

Charged me for one of my players not attending due to Covid. Called them first thing in the morning and formed them but they still charged me even though the course was wide open. Incredibly rude staff at every turn. Starter called our group 15 mins early and when asked he told me “that’s how tee times work” then threw the cart key at me. Never had a experience like this at a golf course and I’ve been playing a long time. Don’t waste your time or money on this goat track. Would have given zero stars if possible.

We reserved a tee time for a group of 4, however, on the day we were scheduled to play it was raining and very windy so one of us decided he didn't want to play in those conditions which to me was reasonable given the weather.

When we were paying at the clubhouse I informed them that our 4th wasn't going to be playing because of the rain and wind and they insisted that we pay his green fees because they have a 24-hour cancellation policy.

If it was sunny or even decent outside I could understand their policy enforcement, however, it was freaking raining and windy. The weather got worse and we ended up only playing 4 holes due to lightning.

I find their enforcement of this policy in these conditions to be unscrupulous and won't be playing there again.

We had 1 of our 4some test positive for Covid that morning. We let the clubhouse know but were still charged a $67 no show fee because we didn't cancel that spot with a 24 hour notice.

Good layout very poorly managed.

Course superintendent yells and screams at people for inadvertently driving in areas, saying she owns the place and has worked there for 35 years. Time for a change. Super unprofessional rude nasty service.

A round at the Dunes is always a great experience. For your money, Riverdale offers the best public facilities in the metro area and 36 holes of great golf and a friendly staff.

If you want to score well on the Dunes you will need to hit the ball straight! Venture just slightly off of the mowed grass and you will have a tough time finding your ball. Even if you can track it down you may not have a playable lie.

The course is not terribly long and there are several holes where you will want to hit driver, but a long iron may be the right play. The Dunes offers a great variety of holes that should have you grabbing for every club in your bag throughout the round. The par 5 11th is one of the toughest 3 shot holes around, just keep it up the left side and you may be ok. Hole 15 is a standout and picturesque hole with water running down the entire left side and Dye signature railroad ties around the green.

The conditions at Riverdale are consistently the best in the area. You can expect lush fairways and smooth rolling fast greens. Even in the late season this course is still in great condition! I always enjoy my time out at Riverdale and I know so many golfers in the area feel the same way. Make a whole day out of it and play both the Knolls and the Dunes, you will love all 36.

Had an unexpected death in my family on a Friday, and they made the group pay for the two spots that didn’t get used, unbelievable, would have even been ok with rain checks, nope. Save your money and golf at Buffalo run, thorncreek, todd creek are all within 10 miles and much better management then this garbage management.

Played with a friend and thoroughly enjoyed the round and our time together. Course was in great shape and we finished in four hours!!!

This course has everything you could want from great views to rolling hills on the fairways to challenging greens. There are a few water holes that are amazing and is a great course for placement golf. For the price you can't go wrong at all!!

I travel and play a lot of golf and the condition of this course is top notch. Greens roll true and fairways immaculate. Play was a little slow but can live with that with course conditions. Would play again.

Design, greens, ambiance and price make this a great track...but that's all

This is one of my favorite courses in the Metro Denver area, and you'll have a hard time finding a better deal. I paid $43 for twilight 18 on a weekend, including cart.

The Dunes is always in wonderful shape with plenty of intriguing and challenging holes. While the course is wide open, the rough is punishing and there's a lot of water (i.e., bring extra balls). There's not a single house on the course, which is a pleasant surprise. It is crowded, but that's to be expected when it's a great deal.

Riverdale Dunes is a classic Pete Dye course that with some holes that remind me of TPC Sawgrass! Walkable, almost always in pristine condition, challenging yet fair, no two holes are alike. Greens are fast and true. Range and practice area is second to none; staff must be well trained on customer service because they are always proactive and friendly and personable for sure. Fairly close proximity to Denver airport and north Denver Metro. The Knolls is a nice complement to the Dunes.

Wow .. Top crew, top shape. True greens, perfect fairways and dreamy tee boxes... Course is in perfect shape!

Pace of play was great... Course conditions are PERFECT!! Friendly and professional staff, challenging layout, great food, beautiful beverage cart girls, what a great golf experience! This course does things right, thanks Riverdale!

Riverdale Dunes is a true Pete Dye design. Water on 11 of the 18 holes! The greens are in excellent shape; rolling smooth and true. A relatively flat course...great for walkers. While there is water on most holes, there aren't long carries over water, making it playable for all levels.

You won't be blown away by the vistas, but the course is so elegantly laid-out, the hole in front of you is enough to keep your attention.

Classic Dye, with hidden bunkers and lots of false front greens...aim for the center of the green and worry about the pin later...you will shoot better!

Dunes is extremely unassuming at arrival. First time playing...high rough, difficult pin placements, and several tough stretches make this a great test. Looking forward to playing it again soon. Greens had just been punched but were okay for only having a week to recover.

We play this course every week and it's consistently in great shape. Even though they try to push a 2 hour/9 hole pace, it's usually closer to 4 1/2 hours after 18 holes. Most golfers need to consider moving up a box on this course even though it's on the short side. It requires accuracy or you'll be loosing a lot of balls or spending a lot of time looking for balls in the tall native which is usually unplayable. Lots and lots of snakes too!!
