Tee times too close

I love this course. Its where I learned to golf, however, I hardly ever go to this course unless it’s the only place available. The pace of play is horrendous. They jam pack the course with tee times every 7 or 8 minutes. There are 3 groups on nearly every hole. This course needs to chill out with tee times so close together. It’s a gem, but it’s unplayable with the way they jam people on to the course

SLOW PLAYERS delight...

This course is very nice. Nothing wrong with the course. Its a nice layout that is well maintained. The staff is nice and helpful as well. I can't give the course a better rating because the pace of play is awful! Its achingly slow. The reason is the old women playing slow and unwilling to let anyone play thru! So...just know...if plan on playing there...the 4hr 15 minute pace of play shown on the card is just a guide that probably won't be met.

Slow play and bad greens.

It took us over 5 hours to play the course and didn’t get to tee off on time tee’d off 20 minutes late for our tee time due to the slow pace golfing. The green had many bump causing the ball not to role well at all.

Another outstanding day!

I just don’t think you can go wrong playing River Glen. It is a great course with plenty of challenge and the course is in really good condition. The only complaint I have is that some of the greens appear to show some wear at this point in the season. Probably due to all of the heat. Otherwise it was a great day!

7/27 after heavy rain

Carts on path

Bunkers full of water unplayable

Greens look to have been vertical-cut

Greens rolled better then they looked

All of course very lush, fairways and tees excellent

Could use better signs getting thru homes to next tee box on front side

Will be back on drier day

My favorite course in the area but overbooked the day I played

Took 3 hours to play 9, so I couldn’t and didn’t want to get 18 in for the day.
