RIVERPOINT Adventure
Course in fair condition and the greens are pathetic, played at Forest Park 3 times this month and it is well kept and greens are beautiful
Great Course and Staff!
Beautiful course! Staff is always friendly. Had a frost delay this morning and getting the golfers out once that was lifted was very well organized. Can’t beat the price!
First time at course
Pace was slow but it was one of the first warm days of the season. It was so bad we got caught in a traffic jam with 4 groups on hole 16. We had already played over 4hrs. It was bad.
Staff isn't friendly
Starter eddy was rude. Probably won't go back to overpay for a round and to deal with disrespectful staff
I know the course
Played over 100 rounds past 15 yrs. Was a private, underused perfectly groomed. Went bankrupt. Ran by holding company (poorly) for a decade. Got hammered with weather and disease and lost 70% of trees. New owner 3 years ago (they own 2 other great courses in area) and has made great strides.
The Bad. 1. Not bent grass. 2. Understaffed on the customer service side (beer cart, wine and dine stuff not actually play related) 3. A lot of league play and outings. If go on weekend and an outing on 2 of the 9's you get a tee time on third 9 then when you get there your 9 in packed.
The Good 1. 3 vastly different 9's 2. Wide open 3. Fair course 4. $32 45 min from Navy Pier
Nice course
Had a great time golfing this course for the first time. Challenging from start to finish. The greens seemed faster on the red course than the blue course. Beautiful course and well maintained. We will be back!
Poorly managed
Don't waste your time. Staff is rude, course is flooded and smells like sewer., They can't even bother to tell you that they close at 5 pm.
Could be so much better
First the good:
3 distinct 9 hole courses layout provides a variety. Flat so its great for walking. some Interesting strategic short holes and reasonably fun layout. overall condition was pretty good. Greens rolled true but were medium-slow.
Overall feels like a budget muni.
Challenges:
The girl at the pro shop counter knows nothing about the game of golf. Not a good first impression. I flew in for a family reunion, called ahead and asked about rentals. They said ": We have Calloways and Wilson sets" .....But when at the course and I asked the young woman at the pro shot counter what types of rentals they had she said: "I think we have left AND right but I'm not sure..." I thought she was kidding but no. She returned with a rental set caked with mud that had a mixed bag of 7 total ancient clubs. seriously. I asked for a full set (after all I paid the full rental fee..) and she got her manager who said "well we don't really have any full sets. I can't really help you" He seemed put out that I expected a full set...I hadn't even mentioned the mix and the dirt yet. It wasn't worth it.
Honestly it is unbelievable they charge 25 to rent a half a set of very dirty ancient clubs and then act bothered when you ask for a full set.
bottom line: play it if convenient. but this is NOT a golfer's facility.
Slooooooooooooow.
Nothing but fairweather players.
Left after 1 hole. 40 minutes after teeing off.
