You get what you pay for
I always love Riveks. The price is always right. The greens are tough. The course is in good shape. You’re not getting the best course in Chicago you’re getting the most affordable and it’s pretty well taken care of. The people are friendly, the course is challenging. There’s some goose poop you gotta watch out for. Other than that I’m a big fan.
Enjoyed the round!
Starter was super cool and courteous! My friends and I had an enjoyable round of golf. Please consider a beverage cart. It would be a welcome service.
Bridge Out
There is a serious drainage problem throughout the course. It hadn’t rained for a week yet several holes were flooded. Please fix the bridge on the 12 hole!
Go Elsewhere
Staff was not friendly. Said good morning to multiple people including the starter and got no response. Course conditions are awful. Bunkers are unplayable and filled with water. Tee boxes ripped up bad. Overall very poorly maintained. Not to mention the approach to tee off on hole 12 requires you to drive your cart down the middle of a fairway. Hard pass.
Looking Great
First time playing river oaks this year and it was in great shape. The greens were very receptive and rolling at a good speed. Round only took 3hrs 7min starting at 9am so you get 5 stars from me for that because weekend golf can be brutal
Not worth it
Carts weren’t available so they stuck me on a push cart and I had to walk, plus the starter couldn’t figure out what group to put me with as a single and changed their minds 3 times. Had to wait on a dude stumbling his way down the fairway wearing a cutoff t-shirt and Jordans. Not worth it considering there’s so many other courses around.
Good layout but always wet
A fun course that unfortunately has some drainage problems. Lots of soaked spots even in summer heat without much recent rain. Still a good value. Big greens and big bunkers. Several tricky placement shots. But the weather has to be right when playing here.
