Nice short course

Great golf! Short but tight. Need to hit straight!

My son and I played there twice. Really enjoyed.

Disappointed they didn’t have hard ciders.

One a few public courses in north atlanta. Marshall’s keep pace of play targeted at 4 hours per round. We played in under 3.5 hours thanks to football season starting. Greens were rolling slower than previous rounds due to excessive heat. Staff always makes you feel appreciated. Range balls included with round. Practice area is very nice

River Pines -8-10-2019

Friendly staff and on a hot day was a really nice touch for staff to send out a cart with cold water to golfer to keep golfers hydrated. Staff maintained a good pace of play on public course well done today enjoyed the day on an extremely hot day.

Great Layout & Fun

Riverpines has a great layout and is for the most part forgiving of slices and hooks. I enjoyed this round of golf with work colleagues before the 4th of July. The course conditions were good and the staff members were very friendly. Your paid round even comes with free range balls which I thought was very nice. I’ll definitely be back soon!

Thank You

RiverPines is a great local course with really good facilities for a fair price. For those of us who dont want to pay $10K initiation fee and $500 a month, this course offers really good experience. My 16yo and I had a great time playing a very playable course. We look forward to many more rounds together at RiverPines.

Thank You

Worth the Money

Played with some guys who definitely know their way around a course. Facility is nice. Fairways are wide open and course provides some challenges with hidden tee shots and fast greens. Tee boxes could use some water and cart could come around a lot more especially on a super hot day. Staff is extremely friendly.

Beat public course in the Atlanta area

Very fun course and grass is in great shape. Play can be a little slow but in my opinion, this is the best public course around

River Pines Delivers

Had not played here in >7 years. Course was in good shape all around despite days of hot, drought like conditions. You definitely want to be in fairway here as the rough is punishing. Will play again soon.

Okay ish.

First off, the staff is pretty great. They were welcoming and friendly and actually allowed us to tee off a few minutes before our tee time because the course was open. The layout is a little quirky, you could pretty much keep your driver in the bag all day even on the par 5's. I don't love 2 severe doglegs in a row, but here you find it frequently.

Conditions were fair for early spring. Some bare patches here and there on the fairway edges could use improvement. The greens were rolling fast and smooth (although they don't always look like they should). The bunkers had fresh sand for the most part. The fairways were in decent shape for just coming out of winter. Tee boxes could use some love. They aren't in the best shape. Often times if you want to hit off grass you have to hit from a less than ideal angle.

So overall this could be a really nice course, and for the amount of play for the area (surrounded by upper class wealthy areas and is the only public option) this course should be in a little better shape. They aren't hurting for players so the money coming in should be put into the fairways and tee boxes. If they did that it would be a great short track to dial in your irons and fairway woods.
