Relaxed atmosphere

Course was very nice but turf in the fairways very thin as expected in winter. Driving range and all amenities were very good. New carts. The staff were very friendly and relaxed ( they didn’t try to micromanage everything like some courses .) Greens were very fast with lots of inclines and course in general has lots of elevation.

Perfect

Played a 3.5 hour round on a Saturday! Never expected that pace of play it was awesome. Greens were quick and fairways were healthy. Staff was super welcoming and helpful. Just wish the carts had gps! This course can be a little tricky to figure out the first time

Down the Middle!

Course was in pretty good condition. Loved the ungulated greens. They rolled nicely. Course layout was generally good, hilly, with a few funky required shots. The Pro Shop staff was uninviting and unwelcoming. Didn't ask any questions to determine first visit or otherwise. Never offered range balls or directions on how to proceed or where to go next. On the other hand, the starter was quite nice. I'd go again, just hope the owner reads this and coaches the Pro Shop staff on how to provide a inviting customer experience.

Not a good experience

There was a group of 5 players in front of me. Not sure if they checked in? They slow down everybody and they are very rude when I talked to them. Group of 4+ players shouldn’t be allowed. Otherwise, the golf course conditions are decent and layout is good.

Good Conditions

Ive played Riverwood several times over the years and the course is in the best shape from greens to fairways. The greens were in good condition rolling about 11!
