A river runs through it

This course is so so much fun but you gotta put the ball in good spots ! Can’t hit driver off every tee , iron play must be good ! The greens were slick but a bit beat up from others not repairing their ball marks ! It is definitely a must play ! I am going to try to go weekly for my mid week practice round !!

Great day

River Glen is a jewel of a course and should be considered the top course in the greater Carmel, Indiana area. Always a pleasure to play and it offers a good challenge every round.

Very slow rate of play. Single foursome holding up 6 groups behind. Ranger/clubhouse was no help.

Great course condition

Visiting from out of town, I’d definitely recommend this course. Greens and fairways in great shape, and the rough was very playable. We were the second group to tee off, so the course was still quite wet from the evening dew, but things warmed/dried up.

Was really impressed with the condition of the course. As mentioned by others, the 8 minute spacing between groups is pretty tight, and we had a twosome chasing us the whole round.

Just 4 holes surrounded by houses, which is always a concern for me as a new golfer. But fairways are pretty wide, and appreciated.
