RiverPines Golf Course - Par 3 Course

Excellent staff and course layout. The greens could be better but I’d still highly recommend and I’ll continue to play this course.

“If you’ve ever played literally any golf course before — a muni, a cow pasture, or even a putt-putt behind a gas station — congratulations, you’ve already experienced something better than this place.

The ‘greens’ aren’t greens. They’re botanical experiments in weed cultivation with the occasional cameo appearance by something that might have once been grass. Putting here is less about reading breaks and more about praying your ball doesn’t disappear into a dandelion. If you hole a putt, it’s a miracle — not skill.

This par 3 course exists purely for one reason: so you can aim at something vaguely green, hit it, and immediately regret your life choices. Don’t even think about pace of play. Between folks reading putts like they’re at Augusta and others spraying balls like they’re practicing bunker shots from the fairway, you’ll age a decade before you finish nine holes.

It was my first time here, and I promise it’ll be my last. I wouldn’t play this track again if it were free — though maybe if they paid me $20–$30, I’d consider it (assuming they fixed the greens… but let’s be real, that’s like asking them to host the Masters next year).

The only redeeming part of my 45-minute drive was hanging out with my son. Otherwise, this ‘golf course’ was a comedy show in turf management failure. My advice: bring a camera, not your clubs — it’s funnier to watch than it is to play

I used to play here a good bit and the greens rolled really well. However the par 3 greens have been taken over by weeds. If you don’t mind it and just use par 3 courses as wedge practice, then it’s okay but don’t expect many 1 putts unless you’re next to the hole! :D

Chipping and putting green were great!!

Range balls are too pricey.

Hope this helps!!

Didn't need golf now app. First come first serve tee times. Golf now useless and waist of money.

What they don’t tell you is that the time you sign up for is meaningless and it’s first come first serve. Also the tee boxes have been moved forward and blue and white are the same spots. So the course was a lot shorter than it should normally be. Once you get used to the slow play and short holes it wasn’t a bad day, but not sure I’d choose to play this again.

Don’t waste your money reserving a tee time. It’s first come first serve and it’s cheaper to pay at the front desk rather than Golf Now

Tee Boxes are closed, so you’re hitting off mats between the blue and white tees. Holes are very short, so everything is a shortened wedge shot. Greens were in rough shape. For the money, it’s OK to get out and hit a few balls quick. Staff was nice.

Not sure if this was a GolfNow issue or RO one but I arrived late for my tee time and the attendant said I had no tee time and couldn’t jump in anywhere. So I can’t review River Pines yet. But will try again soon.

I took my twelve-year-old son there today. We had a great time walking the par 3 course the greens and the course overall was in good condition. The holes are short, so it's perfect for kids just starting to learn we loved it the driving range was great also

While the course was OK for practicing for the short game, most of the halls were around 70 yards. Yet. A good course for practicing.

I understand the mats being out for a public par 3, but they were only in front of the white tees making the course EXTREMELY short. I wouldn't play this again during the winter.

I guess this is more speaking to maybe the clientele than the ground crew, but we honestly could not believe how pocked with divots the greens were. It was reeeeeeally bad. No attempts were made to repair them. Just craters all over every green. We were the first to go out so it was like that for a while. You could clearly see weeks worth of different stages of divots so the groundskeepers arent repairing (or even rolling) them either. Otherwise everything was just great.

Well kept and challenging enough to make it fun. Right on!

Greens in horrible shape. 50% plus nutsedge. Do they even use preemergent?! Also Mats only at this moment, which is fine. But not when they only have 1 mat and they are all in front of the red tees making almost every hole under 70 yards. Blue and whites need their own mat
