River Run Golf Course

I have enjoyed playing River Run many times in the past ten years, but have to say the round yesterday was quite disappointing due to poor course conditions. The area had a lot of rain the past few weeks, and apparently the moisture and heat were very hard on the course. Most greens and tee boxes were ok, but the fairways were a mess. I'm not a turf expert, but suspect extensive damage from fungus. In any event, the course was unexpectedly cart path only. The pro shop staff said that was an effort to avoid further damage to the fairways. We are only half way through the summer, so I won't return until well into the Fall when hopefully the grass will have recovered.

Skip the 630, grumpy staff, poor communication, mowers the whole time, skip this course

What’s the good news answer Cart path only. Keep it light just say Good morning. Please don’t get out of your chair because of a customer?

Don’t open if not ready, all other courses wait until 7.

Let the management group know the team won’t be ready for 630 tee times!

Played the front 9, late afternoon, on a holiday weekend, with 3 family members who are not avid golfers. A 5some of 3 girls and 2 guys went out before us (after getting there at their tee time). We waited for a bit on the first tee while all 5 struggled, then they picked up and moved on, but that was the start.

The course seems crammed in between a housing development. Surprised Gary Player put his name on it. I can only imagine how many houses get hit every day. To be fair, the grounds were in decent shape. However, massive divots abound throughout the course, including one on the 7th green (which I was able to find the loser’s divot and repair the best I could). You can imagine the ball marks on every green.

So, a crammed course attracting casual (at best) golfers, makes this a hard course to recommend, unless you’re a casual golfing group looking for an acceptable place to play. That’s what we were.

Pro shop staff was friendly.

Bones of a great golf course you can tell it gets a lot of play but for the price you expect a lot more. $100+ tee time with a limited range, slower greens, and decent fairway. Not many options in OC for good golf but there is definitely better options.

Staff was very friendly. Course was in very good condition. Pace of play was not an issue. Met and played with some great people! There are some great places to find shade on the course but they need to find a way to get more drinking water available on the course. Maybr place coolers on the cart so we can bring our own drinks and ice?

The course is in excellent shape and is a great layout!

We really enjoyed the layout of this course.

Greens were a bit slow due to a lot of rain, but they rolled true.

The layout of this course is fun for players who shoot in the 80’s or 90’s .

Only downside was that it was very muddy, ( we played cart path only).

Slow pace of play. Stopped after hole 13, took 4 hours to play. Marshall was nowhere to be found.

The course was cart path only understandable considering there was a lot of rain the two days prior. The course held up very well most of the bunkers had water but you could move your ball to accommodate.the tee boxes and greens were in great shape the ball rolled true and were very consistent not fast or slow. Overall the course was in great shape considering and I would definitely play again hopefully next time it won't be path only.

The past two years, RR has been in great shape, from fairways to greens. The only complaint I have is there's no marshal, one hole there was 4 groups on one hole with a single in the playing by himself. Other than that, I'll be playing the more often being a local.

The group in front of me was just two older guys. They had a two hole start on me. And I caught them on the ninth hole. I finally quit on the sixteenth hole, the course is recovering well from the spring play.

Narrow short course, played well, good shape.

worth the money
