Really pretty Course

First time on this course. Really pretty. Nice challenging layout. Very hilly for Mid Tenn. Staff nice - I asked about potential weather issues because it was cloudy. The fellow checked and walked out to tell me all was clear. We will go back.

A great course with many surprises.

A beautiful course that winds through the hilly country side. It has elevation changes, sand traps, water hazards and fantastic greens. This is a course worth driving to play if you get the opportunity. I was glad I finally played it!!! I will be returning for more enjoyable experiences of this gem!!! It was so scenic and quiet the day I played it. There are several places where the scenery is like looking at a book. I took several pictures to show my friends!!!

River Watch 2

Second time I played the course. It's a great layout and somewhat of a challenging course. A few of the fairways had some type of weeds or fungus but overall they were in pretty good shape. A few of the greens had some deterioration but most of them were in good condition. They are tough to read and the pin placements could have been placed a bit better. The greens looked extremely fast but actually were super slow. This is a fun course to play and look forward to playing it again.

course in great shape

Played here a few times, little bit of a drive but well worth the drive. Staff very friendly, nice practice area. Their summary states that they have GPS on carts, but I have not seen a cart with it. Yardage markers could use some improvement. Overall the course is fun and a challenge. Plenty of doglegs and elevation changes. Greens are great, pretty fast. Fairways are in great shape. The tee boxes are getting a little hard, but kept mowed and clean. Overall a nice venue. As Arnold would say "I'll be back".

Diamond in the Rough

Played this course quite a few times and still love it. Very challenging for me with some narrow fairways and longer par 3's. The best value for the money in the state with GolfNow. We are getting 18 holes w/ cart for $20. We'll play all summer at that price.

Blind shots, great greens

Blind tee shots, rolling hills, and undulating greens make this a challenging layout. This was my second time to play the course, and I continued to struggle to find good landing areas off the tee. Fortunately, I came armed with extra golf balls and had a few left at day's end. It's a beautiful course and fun with the right foursome, but quite an ego bruiser for those who take being near par too seriously.

Great Course!

This was a great golf course! The staff is very friendly and the facilities are very well kept. The course is pretty well maintained (even stripe their fairways). Some holes can be challenging with lots of quick elevation changes but overall not too bad. Best deal around!

Another Beautiful Day In Tennessee

They are doing a lot of work on the course. Green are coming back from the winter and aeriation several weeks ago. The fairway are in good condition and greening up. The worse part of the course are the tee boxes, but am sure that when the grass starts growing, they will imp;rove.

Aerated Greens and no notice

It's early March and I don't expect perfection. But it would be nice to know that the front nine had been aerated before I paid and drove an hour. Also, be nice to be acknowledged when I come in to the clubhouse and attempt to check in. Do yourself a favor save $50 or $32 and wait for the course conditions to warrant the trip. If you can get it for $25 or less it's worth the trip. Until then try to be buffet at Midnight Express.

Hard course

1st time playing this course and it was a cold/windy day, 50* with 15mph winds. The course was in amazing shape for this late in the year. The grass on the tee box could have been cut down a little more, the zoysia fairways were in spectacular shape and the greens were lightning quick/rolled as true as any course I've ever played. The last 3-4 greens could uses a little work. Very challenging course from the tips, especially with the wind blowing and you need to hit the correct side of the greens or it make for a tough two putt.

Great Landscape

Heavy rain the day before, so being cart path only course was in good shape. But hard to walk from cart path, so ball position near carth paths will be helpful. Greens rolling great since new ownership . Playing in the fall and winter months keep ball in the fairways and roughs since leaves have been dropping won't find you ball off the those areas. Sand traps are in better sharpe . Golf carts are gas and are new. Friendly employees . Great Burgers and fries. So overall great day at Riverwatch , if driving in from Nashville plan for a full day, about 1 hour 30min drive each way.

Enjoyable

Fairways were in excellent condition. Greens were pretty good for the most part. Some greens were showing some wear. Challenging layout. Staff was friendly. Only negatives were the driving range and paying three bucks for a coke. Yikes. One note this was the first time I had played both nines. The first time I played here I booked through golf now and only got to play the front twice because the back nine greens were being punched. Would have liked to have known that before hand.

Course Going Down Hill

I have played this course for several years, back when the club house was a mobile unit. Played it 5 or 6 times this year and I always thought it was a diamond in the rough. I heard it sold recently played within 2 weeks of the sale and it was beautiful I drove 2 hours to play it again yesterday. Only 4 cars in the parking lot, thought it was interesting. Heard the prices went up (35.00 ONon GN) but that's cool as long as the money goes into the course. Maybe the higher prices is why only 4 cars in the parking lot. Saw nice new golf carts. Got in the club house only 1 person working pro shop and the grill, that's different usually there has always been 2 people one for pro shop and one for the grill. Then I went to the course, here is where I was really let down, greens in bad shape, tee boxes in bad shape. So you raise the prices substantially then you cut the staff and let the course go. I will give you 1 more chance next year but not worth the drive or the money under current condition. I would not be happy playing this course under current conditions for 10.00. I hope you get it turned back around because the environment is beautiful but that doesn't mean that you let the greens and the tee boxes go...hope you don't continue in this direction.

$4 Hot dogs, $7 pre-made hoagies. For our area, that's a little over the top. Don't see many people eating there. Course was in good condition, greens fast but true.

The course was in great shape especially the fairways. The one negative would be that the greens were extremely fast and some pin placements were a bit unfair.
