River Run Golf Course

Friendly funny and helpful cart guy. Even dove us out to the range (limited distance balls, short range). Rep at the front desk wasn’t as friendly. The course was in good condition. There was some grass clumps in the fairways, but not their fault. The recent rains made the course wet. The bent greens were magnificent!!! Nice layout. Would play again. Good value for the money.

I had a 11:09 tee time on a Friday morning in September. Pace of play came to a standstill on the 4th tee. By the time we got to 10 there were 3 groups on the tee, one in the fairway and 1 on the green. Took 3 hours to play the back 9. There were so many groups on each tee that stories from the groups ahead of us started to filter back. Evidently the course let a 6some play and we were all stuck behind them. Totally unacceptable. This is a public course that gets a lot of play, so I was OK with the lack of grass on the tees, and the poorly conditioned fairways that were lost to heat and humidity. I'm totally not OK with the course taking our money and not monitoring pace of play. No marshals over the course of 5 1/2 hours of play in 90 degree heat.
A few other issues - they blew up the old driving range to make way for housing and cleared a 100 yard area off of the 10th tee for a new range. Because of the lack of space, the range balls are plastic waffle balls.
Also, they have abandoned the black tees, although some of the old black tee boxes are still maintained. In fact, it seemed like the blue tee markers were on some of the old black boxes, and some white tee markers were on some of the old blue tee boxes. They haven't rerated the course handicap for the current marker locations, so scores are probably not completely accurate if you are posting to GHIN.

River Run is a fun course with an interesting layout,.The round took almost Five hours. The sand traps were in terrible shape. Lots of dried mud in the crusty traps. The course is still fun to play.

Visited River Run for the first time and read the reviews about the friendly staff. It was true and it makes all the difference in enjoying the course. Also read that the course challenged scratch golfers while being fair to golfers with higher handicaps. Played with a golfer whose handicap was 4. He hit from the back black tees, and I hit from the white. It was mostly a bogey day with only two pars, a handful of doubles, mostly bogies, but no triples. Hit over water each time needed to. For the scratch golfer, it was a par day with a few bogies and a few birdies and a few doubles - in short and overall, it felt as though we played evenly because the course challenged him and was fair for me. Will definitely return soon.

Course needs rangers to move play along, almost 6 hours to play on a Wednesday

Overall, river run is a quality golf course. That being said, white tee boxes were atrocious (granted that’s to be expected). Majority of fairways were in good shape, some have seen their better days. Greens were good for the most part, slower pace than practice green. Staff was friendly and helpful, I’d play here again for a cheaper price.

Overall conditions were okay, white tee boxes were beat up but that’s expected for the average golfer. Some fairways have seen their better days. Greens were solid, no specific issues. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Should be cheaper but course is located near the beach so it is what it is.
