River Run Golf Course

Love the course! What I didn’t like was paying a booking fee at Golf Now, only to pay the same price I would have at the course. Next time I’ll just call the course and save the golf now fee. It is a great course though.

Tee boxes good. Fairways good. Rough too high; made for slow play especially on the back 9. Greens good. Worth the effort.

The staff was great upon arrival. The course was in perfect shape. Highly recommend this course.

Course in poor shape due to rain and aeration of greens. Nothing they could help.

The course was designed by Gary Player. Has a ton of features: tight fairways, open fairways, doglegs, short holes, long holes, over water, water on both sides, dunes/fescue, hills, sand, up and down on the putting ground. Definitely imagine that it’s a premier course in the right shape, pristine. But not worth $85 they charged. With a grain a salt, there was a huge storm the night before; however, $85 is not what you charge after such circumstances. Also, all greens were aerated-sand everywhere. Might want to adjust pricing accordingly. Fairways, were torn like they’d been trampled by bulls in a stampede, just ripped up. Also would not let me out as a one-some however a one-some passed through the three-some that I was paired with, about 45 minutes into my round. 5 hours and 10 mins roughly for round, and we were the first group out at 630am. no thank you.

Fairways were bare, staff should tell you greens were recently aerorated when paying.

Will not play again.

The condition of the course was horrible. No fairways . If Gary Player ever came back to this property, he would not want his name associated with this course. Greatly disappointed.

A deluge of rain the previous week seemed to have had a deleterious effect on the fairways. There were a lot of places with no grass.

The course was in bad shape. Overpaid for value. Had to play the back nine twice. Front nine being aerated. No one told us.

This is a beautiful course in many ways, but the fairways were in poor condition! There are many large areas without grass - in the middle of the fairway! The course starter and clubhouse staff are exceptional!

I have always loved this course. Not the most difficult, but the layout is nice and it was always groomed and kept well. It's been two years since the last time I played here and I was very disappointed with the condition. The tees were shaggy and the fairways were severely damaged - not from play, but from poor maintenance. It did look like they are working on the problems. The grass can be grown back and properly groomed, hopefully they are addressing and curing the underlying issues...

The course is well designed forcing golfers to use every shot and club in their bag. Driving areas ranged from tight to wide but always ending with a lie that challenged your shot. Even on the fairway the ball could be uphill, downhill, below or above your feet. Always hitting into a well protected green. Challenging but fair. Staff could not have been better and the free practice range is a huge plus in my opinion. Fairways were in tough conditions in many spots but we haven’t had the best weather so I’ll give some forgiveness. Must play course.

First off, they do not tell you it is cart path only online. I have a severely arthritic knee and walking was very painful. Had I known about the cart path only I would have booked our foursome elsewhere. The course was in very bad condition with high grass in many places, They were aerating a few fairways, one of which had 95% sand in it. I have played golf for 30 years and have never seen such a site. The greens were ok, I would imagine in the fall and spring they would be very good. I could go on but in a nutshell this course was worth $40.00 tops!

This is a very nice Gary Player designed course, relatively short yardage. which IV played. Played numerous times. My last round was on Aug.4, 2019. The greens and tees were in excellent shape. However, when showing up at pro shop we were told the fairways were burned up - either by the hot conditions and/or some other cause. Thus, we were told that play was cart path only. Pace was 5hrs. Our issue was: that the course website did not indicate that it was cart path only, and there were no discounts or perks offered. Just full price. Otherwise, we’d have booked another nearby course, just as good. My suggestion: call ahead and ask about course conditions b4 booking and showing up at the course. BTW One guy in our course knocked down a hole-in-one (from the blues) on Hole #16.

PS On previous years I’d rate this course

4 or 4+ stars.

First time playing, and the course was in decent shape. The course has taken a beating from all of the rain. The fairways were patchy with a lot of mud and the greens rolled pretty slow. I think a lot of that was caused by the rain but it was hard to tell. I would like to play again and hopefully it will be in better shape!
