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.

White / Blue Courses

I played the White / Blue courses on Friday the 7th. Both nines were in decent shape given the recent rain we had in the area. The greens were in good shape. The bunkers could use a little work, but again it's early in the year. This was the first time playing the Blue course and it is obviously the newest of the three. It's very nice layout. All the staff were extremely friendly. I will be back.

River Pointe

I played the Red / White rotation at River Pointe on 10/16. I’ve only played here once before and from what I can deduct the Red nine is the oldest of the three nines with the Blue being the newest. I never played the Blue course but from what I can tell it looks in excellent shape. The Red and White courses present challenges with some dogleg holes that you will need to know your “carry” yardages and where to aim your tee shot. While the Red course was not in as good shape as the White, it was still fun to play. My favorite holes, between the two nines, would be Red #8 & #9. They are working on the Red & White courses. The greens rolled true and had a good pace to them. The bunkers were also in great shape. The staff was very friendly and professional. I would go back.
