Par 3 at Riverside Golf Club

I had an early Friday morning tee time and for some reason there were about 25 groups in front of me already who were all older and played SLOW. It is kind of common sense as a golf course organizer to not put a single after a bunch of foursomes. It was REALLY frustrating.

Also the course conditions are AWFUL. the tee boxes were some of the worst tee boxes I have ever hit out of, and the fairways were horrendous.

I played 18 for 20 dollars. I honestly would not play this course for free, I will never go there again.

No reward for hitting in the fairway and no punishment for hitting in the rough. You basically hit everything off of crab grass or dirt patches. On top of poor course conditions, in one hour I had only completed two holes because the course was that backed up. Instead of alternating starts on the front and back, they jam packed everyone on the front.

Trees need trimming along some fairways, greens are in rough shape, many fairways are mostly crabgrass/water grass. Bunkers were in surprisingly good shape and contained good sand.

Had a 9:30 tee time on a Saturday morning. Our two some did not get paired up and ended up having to wait at least 15 minutes on every tee box. Our round took a little over 5 and a half hours to play. Needed better tee time management. There was also a homeowner who we walked out of his house next to the course in nothing but his whitey tighties to get his mail. Pretty funny

Beautiful course, narrow fairways on some holes, which I like. Played both courses (18 hole & 9 hole par 3). Loved both. Thank you

I wanted to get a quick round in and booked without reading anything about the course which turned out to be a mistake. Tee time was 8:15am and when I arrived there were 24 golfers waiting on the first tee. After waiting 30 minutes to get to #1 we then had to wait an additional 15 minutes on each of the following tees. After 3+ hours to get through 9 holes, I packed it in an left.

The only positive I could take away were that the greens were in fact green and in relatively good shape considering the rest of the course. There really isnt anything that can be said for the rest of the course that would be even remotely positive.

All in all, it was a very poor course and should be avoided by those golfers that enjoy playing courses such as Pevely, Aberdeen, Mo Bluff, etc. Even for $25 this course was not worth it.

I've played this course more than a few times. As long as you don't care about some rough fairways at times,a bit of slow play you'll probably have a good day of golf.

My round of 18 holes started off with a blast and ended with a blunder... As I approached the green of the ninth hole I noticed heavy volume of lady golfers whom were all seniors teeing off on hole one and heading to hole ten. Needless to say it appeared I was unable to finish out my game of which I paid to play 18 holes, after numerous attempts to play pass the groups of senior players, it turned ugly real fast. I surrendered and headed back to clubhouse after hole 12.... I was reimbursed $5 and a smile from the staff and a suggestion to return on a Monday in order to prevent this from happening again...

The pace was very slow, fairways were in rough condition with a lot of dirt and not a lot of grass. Encountered a friendly staff member, but also encountered a grumpy staff member on the 18th hole that was not friendly at all. He had told us to hurry up on the green because people were waiting for their shot to the green when it took us 6 hours to play because of the slow pace.

If the fairways grow in, the course should be great. Greens recently aerated and were slow but this should be expected at this time of the year. Design of course is odd at times for example a par three on the front and back nine are side by side with foursomes on the front nine having to wait for those on the back to tee off

this course really needs some work. Maybe because it was early in the season. it could be a very very nice course if they only took better care of the surface.

Course playable ,but fairways no grass,greens were decent. In May or june course will be there, not yet, sorry. It is a affordable course .

Friendly staff, good pace for about 12 holes then got stuck behind a tournament. However, have played here before and there was no blockage. Overall fun course.

Worth every penny. Great pace. Nice people. Little short.

the course was in good condition and the weather was great but the slow play of the groups in front of us took away from the experiance

are you enjoying myself it was a great time I don't need anymore

Don't let the flatness of this course fool you. There are plenty of ways to get in trouble! Lots of trees and some narrow fairways make acuracy a good thing. Course layout was a little confusing but a good time was had by all. I'll go back.

On 9/14/2014 I went to go play Riverside with one other. During this visit, I was just amazing at some of the rude behavior and policies that were in place at this golf course.

1. Don't accept credit cards, and then sigh when I hand you my American Express and state, "Do you have a VISA instead?". If you accept the card, accept it, and deal with the charges / issues surrounding American Express.

2. The "Starter" needs a lesson in common sense and friendliness. Upon starting out, the starter said, "Hi, Hole 1, You can start up there"....while not really friendly, I can live with that, I'm here to play golf. After hole 9, I decided to use the restroom and purchase a hot dog and some beverages. At the concession stand, a sign reads, "VISA / MASTERCARD, $10 Minimum". American Express, obviously still accepted, is what I paid with. However, having a minimum purchase requirement on Credit Cards is against their agreement, and pretty ridiculous to have on a golf course. You pride yourself on customer service and a great golf course, having this sign makes you look like a joke. After paying, I literally walk out to my cart to sit down (mind you, the bathroom and hot dog purchase only took approximately 3-5 minutes), the starter walks over and says, "You need to hurry up, its a full course today." Is this guy serious? Either hire someone who knows how to do the job, or get rid of the guy.

At the end of the course, the gentlemen who collects the cards was incredibly friendly, and deserves a raise. Based on the previous customer service experiences at this location, this nice gentlemen deserves to be working at a different golf course.

Course is in great shape! Fun time! Would definitely play again!

This course had great value for the money. Great for beginners.
