RiverPines Golf Course

River pines is a great course for anyone to play. It tough on the first time to understand the layout, but we had two playing partners who played it before. I would like to come again and try it out again.

Played nine holes last week in the late afternoon and loved watching a heard of deer running across #7 fairway which you will see a lot of. Great layout but i wish they would add more sand to the bunkers. If you hit bunker shots be careful there is only about an inch of sand in the bunkers and hard clay on the bottom so a spinning sand shot is out of the question. Be aware not to hit down the right center of the 18th fairway or your toast and O.B and the fairway drops off to the right and a descent tee shot is penalized.

This course is doing all the right things. I could see they were making improvements to the course, which shows me they are putting my money to work. They are working on the pace of play with clocks and signage and friendly rangers. This shows me they care about everyone's round. I highly recommend this public course to anyone coming to this area to play. I will definitely be coming back.

Funny thing about me and this course I have tried to play it at least five times and never got to finish because it rained. The first 4 times i got the the 16th hole each time and it rained. The last time I got to 8 and it rained. I love the course though and the people are nice and they give you range balls included in price. I also heard that they now have GPS on all the carts so that will be a good addition. Hope to play it soon and finish all 18.

This is a beautiful, well maintained, fun layout golf course which runs along the Chattahoochee River, but its not very much fun to play.

I played with 2 of my golf buddies and we had a 9:40 tee time. The golf carts have a card on the windshield with your tee time. We were in the cart that said 9:40 and next to us was a cart with a card that said 9:48. We get to the tee about 9:30ish and the group ahead of us was teeing off. When they were in the fairway, we pulled up and started getting ready when the starter told us to stop, there is another group coming. We wait about 5 minutes for a 4 some with a card that read "9:40+" on their cart. This was obviously a 4 some the course took on to make some extra $ and screw up the pace of play for everybody else that morning.

We sat on every tee box for at least 5 minutes. Often times we got to hang out with the people waiting behind us, it was that bad. To top it all off, the course is REALLY concerned about pace of play. So much so, that they have clocks all over the course and little computers in the cart that tell you how far off the pace you are and that you need to play faster. So while we are on the tee box for 10 minutes waiting to tee off, the little computer is just rubbing it in how slow things are going.

This is the kind of stuff that makes golf not enjoyable. Im not even going to talk about the beverage cart that drove right by us and never bothered to stop. That was just straight up rude.

If this course could focus on the quality of rounds played rather than the quantity of golfers it puts on the course, it would be an exceptionally great place to play.

?? conditions.
Recently played 18 on a Saturday. Course as a whole was in good shape, but the traps were ridiculous. Obviously, not raked, even topically much less deep, for days. Some had virtually no sand...that's right, playing off of MUD. The others had packed down sand. The traps' condition is as much a part of the course as are the tee boxes. I do not appreciate paying for a round (and not cheep by the way) to only ADD STROKES trying to hit a decent shot out of those traps. Either fire the manager, or the super. Someone is NOT doing there job.

it's been raining pretty frequently this year but this course is absolutely dying for water already. Bermuda is almost back from dormancy but with the lack of moisture it's lagging behind other local courses. bent grass greens are very firm and with their design, usually sloping away from the fairway, it's very difficult to hold even high soft shots. bunkers are poorly designed and rock hard. play this course in the summer and you might as well use your putter the whole way.

We only got through 5 due to rain but we had a good time grabbing some food and beer after. The manager seemed to be very apprehensive. He tried giving us a rain check for basically 50 cents a hole. I said that was unacceptable and he ended up giving us a rain check for a little more but still under a buck a hole. A little unreasonable if you ask me. He then apologized for his short temper stating it was due to the fact that he had been there since 6 AM (not my problem). I will definitely be going back to finish my round. Other that the uppity manager, it was very enjoyable.

Minutes from work can even get a round in and go back to work. Great deals on GN.

I really enjoyed the course. The staff was friendly and helpful. Several holes play right near the river which made for some cool scenery. The course was challenging and well maintained. Overall good time, will go back soon.

The course was in good shape. Fairways and tees are really nice. The greens are slower and bumpier than I would prefer, but overall pretty good.

The course seemed to be in much better shape from the last I time I played it over a year ago. Fairways and bunkers were in good shape. Most greens rolled well. Would be nice to remove the handrail from hole 15 or 16, and create more natural steps to the green. I think it could be easily done and improve the appearance of the green. Overall, the course was nicely maintained, and the staff was friendly too.

beautiful afternoon - friendly people - no wait - just fun

We had a good time on the course. The pace was a bit slow and we had people pushing us most of the course but that was to be expected on a Saturday. And we're a bunch of novices so we probably were a part of the problem a bit...

The major issue we had was that we had planned on having food at the turn only to find out that the grill closes at 3:30! Not only that but we saw the beer/food cart only once in the 4.5 hours and that was rather unfortunate.

We would play here again but probably look for something that is more evening friendly in terms of food and service.

Local knowledge is important.. Greens were a bit bumpy but overall a nice experience.

The course has some interesting and challenging holes (notably 4, 6, 7, 11, 17 and 18). The layout along the Chattahoochee River crosses two major creeks which come in to play repeatedly. The course is well maintained and the staff is friendly. Very nice practice facility.

River Pines is one of my favorite courses in north Atlanta for the value, plus they have a nice driving range and warm up facilities.

Extremely friendly staffs. The staffs will make you mistaken that you are at a resort course. The course winds through Georgia pine wood hills. There are multiple holes has big elevation changes and dog leg blind shots. Read the signs for some local information (or have your GPS ready). Better yet, have a friendly local patron give you tips on where to put your tee ball. We are a threesome following the other threesome, and we played 18 holes less than 3 and half hours. Enjoy it.

Course was in great shape for being so early in the season. Greens were fast. Once the fairways green up this course will be in immaculate condition.

Some maintenance is needed around the course. It might be due to the recent weather but the greens & around the greens were in very bad shape. The fairways were okay but & could be chalked up to dormant grass.
