Best course in area for the price

One of my favorite courses in 219. Staff is always accommodating. Conditions are great. Very well kept facility you can tell they take pride in it. They’re also super nice about having a rider when some of the less desirable courses near by charge an arm and a leg for someone to ride along. Always my top 3 choices when picking where to golf !!

Good Course

I have always played Riverpoint for the last couple years at least 7 to 10 times a year. Pace of play is probably one of the better courses in Lake County portage area, Rates are affordable, friendly people and always an open tee time.

Gave it a second chance

The first time I played here I ran into a group of arrogant older gentleman who didn’t like what I had to say to them in response to their comments. The same thing happened this time with a different group. I keep a good pace of play and I don’t crowd the people in front of me when I play as a single because a group who is keeping good pace doesn’t need to have someone playing into them. This is the only course in northwest indiana and the south suburbs I get into it with someone every time I come here. I’d have gladly got paired up with another group had the starter decided to do that. That being said I won’t be back. The crowd at this place during the week sucks and it’s not really worth the money anyways.

You're supposed to tell us how the course is.

Not about your anger management problem !!

Starter

This is a great course. However if you happen to bring someone who isn't fully educated on course rules avoid this course. The starter was incredibly rude. We were on time for our start. I'd brought someone who is new to golf and the starter was super rude to him. It's a great way to drive younger people away from the game and this guy needs to do better

Best condition in years

Mid-May golf and the course conditions are great. Real sand in the traps and can actually hit out of them.

I thought the greens were a little firm for so early in the year.

Course can be improved

The condition of the course for this time in the year is unacceptable. Fairways and rough were well past due to be mowed. Weeds were everywhere except the greens. Very disappointed.

Been to better

I’m not a well seasoned golfer, but have been to many different courses. River Pointe is just “ok”. Challenging course, somewhat confusing layouts though. Lot of dog legs makes it difficult to locate your pin at times. Course is pretty well kept, not Augusta, but not a dump either. Not sure I’ll come back to play here again, but over all it was probably a 6/10.
