No homes, all nature in Johns Creek, Ga

Convenient, nice layout and great staff. Opportunities with on course amenities and bag drop (not eager to help load / unload golf bag)

Really enjoy this course

I have played RiverPines many times. I like the layout, especially the back side. The course was very wet and soggy - that was the only downside.

Bring lots of balls......

This is not a negative review.... Just my thoughts.....my round was $60 and I feel I got what I expected for that amount. The greens on the front 9 are rough... really rough. The back nine was a little better, but 18 was the worst of the day,

The rough is insane. If you hit the ball 1 foot off the fairway, there is a good chance you wont find it. With so many blind tee shots, you need to hit the fairway or you will be reloading.due to a lost ball when you can't find it.

Tee boxes are... well.... about what you would expect for $60... rough.

In short, it is all relative. If you want to play a nice course, there are several others in the area at $100 that provide a much better overall experience.

On a positive note, the pace was better than I realized. Our foursome finished in under 4 hours. We waited on most shots on the back 9, but the group in front of us was waiting most of the time as well.

I found the sand traps to be really really good the few times I was in one.

Perhaps I will give it another shot later in the year if I cant get a time someplace else. I will be checking reviews to see if it gets any better.

Nice Day

Enjoyed the course - wish a couple more par 5s could make it par 72.

Staff was great. Starter and ranger were helpful.

Hadn’t played here in 8 years. Plan to play again much sooner. :-)

probably won't play here again

The good: greens in good shape, enjoyable layout, fairways and bunkers in good shape.

The bad; all grass except for fairways and greens is Bermuda which is 3"+ tall. If your ball rolls off the fairway at all, especially on drives, good luck finding your ball. Everyone in the foursome lost 6-10 balls within a step or two of the fairways and greens because the rough was allowed to grow too tall and thus you must be standing direcly over the ball to see it.

Very frustrating to lose balls that on almost every other golf course would be easy to see/find.

Until they do a better job of keeping the rough grass cut low enough not to 'swallow' balls, I won't be back

Nice layout.

Greens had a lot of ball marks but bent greens so that’s somewhat normal.

Enjoyable experience

Course is playable. Backside is a little more challenging. Greens are pretty good but need a little work. Friendly and helpful staff.

Steady constant

River Pines is a great course with a decent layout. There are some holes where you'll have to layup to stay out of trouble and some easier ones where you can let it fly. Good mix of holes to challenge your game. Greens are usually soft so you'll encounter a lot of pitch marks
