Early Season

Other than the greens being incredibly slow and the bunkers needed some work due to recent rain, River Pointe looked as I would have expected this time of year! Always a fun layout and pace of play is seldom an issue.

Pros and cons

Liked the fact that there are 3 nine hole choices. We played white and blue. I know it was late in the season but the greens were rough. Looked like they just aerated them. It did rain that night annd morning, and sand traps were nothing but mud and some filled with puddles. The starter was not very friendly and there check in procedure is weird. I paid green fees in advance for better discount, then was told we had to check in at office, then come back to him with receipt to get cart. Then check back with him to see which course we were going out on. My buddy hit over the green on 8th hole and the starter picked up his ball because it bounced into a cart. When we made the turn, there was no one working at food counter or bar., even though there were many guys at the bar. We didn’t want to hold things up on course so we went back out. Luckily there was a drink cart on course so we could drinks. One other annoying thing was all the potholes on the cart paths. Again late in the season, but through some stone in them at least.
