River Run

The entire staff was extremely friendly and helpful, especially the gentleman working the bag drop, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The course is wide open but still very challenging, with huge, beautifully maintained greens—we’ll definitely be back!

Nice but very wet

Insanely wet. Shouldn't have allowed carts in the fairways today. Round took nearly 5 hrs. Log jammed everywhere & no where to go.

Not the same anymore

Horrible course conditions for father day (over aerated greens and fairways. Simplified layout with no challenge other than distance. Still no clubhouse, just the temp shack. Bobby used to be our home course before the "renovation", but the course layout, and poor conditions do not warrant the price when other much better kept and challenging courses are running at half the price.

Well Run

First time playing the course, will be back. Greens were recently punched but are recovering nicely. Pace of play was slow but it was a weekend mid morning, we still played in under 4.5 hours. Overall great experience.

Good, with a discount.

Name appeal, nondescript layout (back 9 was more interesting), good greens, ok tees and fairways. Got a great deal with GolfNow - not sure it is worth it at full price.

Do not play this course.

We paid about $115 each to play this course. I feel we were cheated out of iur money. The quality of the course is very poor. It has a gravel staging area and cart paths. Our cart quit working during the round and had to be towed away. The clubhouse, and I use this term loosely, is similar to a mobile home. I recommend you do not play this track. Hoping Golf Now will reimburse me for part of the cost.

Average at best

Carts were out dated one of our carts broke down. Waited to tee off on every hole. To expensive for a Muni course. Greens were in very good shape

Needs water

Fairways need water. They are thin and sparse.

Rough is in bad shape. Greens were good.
