River Heights Golf Course

This is a woodland course with somewhat tight fairways that seem to be mostly rye and fescue. The greens are bent grass and generally in good shape and roll nicely. Most of the holes are 350/360 yd. par 4s many of which are doglegs. The T boxes are absurdly ill-kept. The course design is generally somewhat odd, e.g., back to back par 5s. Number 10 is a 230 yd. par 3 dogleg right around trees and a pond while a bunker sits on the left - perhaps the most ridiculously unfair hole design I have ever seen. At the turn, we found a 15 minute wait for a grilled hot dog and burger handled ungloved by the youngster behind the bar. Sand traps vary - some have weeds growing, others are clean and raked.

I have played here many times on golf now. Price to play has doubled. Course is in much better shape for sure. I had a golf now twosome. The golf now 4 some that went out 20 minutes ahead of us would not let anyone through. Everyone kept skipping holes and going around them. We finally had to ship a hole and play around them. I live close by and like to give them some of my 150+ rounds a year. However the double price increase and the thoughtless golfers may change my thinking.

I live in Yorkville and I drive 30 miles to play this course, because it has a fair layout and the rates are very reasonable.

A little mix up on the price because their rate didn't include a cart but did not say that on my confirmation paper, so I had to argue a little bit with them but they finally said ok.

It's a lovely Golf course with good course conditions and the staff and players on the course are friendly. The only place I love to be whenever I have time to play golf.

Nice course with a nice layout. Greens are smooth and fast. Great price on Tee Off. If I lived in the area I would play it often.

First time here and it is a beautiful course and everyone was very polite and helpful, especially Keith and I forgot the girl's name that was behind the bar but she was very helpful as well

River Heights is is a much improved course over the past 2 years.. Many improvements have been made and it’s a fun place to play. The tee boxes need a little work but it’s in great shape right now. I want to thank Cindy (supervisor) in pro shop to allow me to play today earlier then my scheduled tee time to beat the storms that were expected. The staff is very friendly and understanding of your needs.

T boxes grass was longer then expected. But I truly like this course.

I enjoy playing this course at least once a week. I know what to expect as far as the condition of the course (better than last year) and the price is right. Hope they get the irrigation problems solved so the course can become what it once was.
