Great layout.

Always loved this layout. However some of the greens were in very bad condition. I was told after i played. The greens were damaged due to oil leak from the mower. I could not roll the ball on a few of the greens. Dissapointed

Not bad

Greens were in pretty rough shape, probably rolling at a 6-7 and diseased/damaged on a few. Worth mentioning because the starter confidently/arrogantly stated they were “always immaculate”… was not impressed.

One of the best

Riverwood is all you need to say! Most people have heard of this course, so once you play it you can’t wait to play again.. It’s one of the best golf courses in the 75 mile area without a doubt!

Nice Round...

Booked as single on Golf Now, $35.00.
Weather report called for rain midday.
Multiple open tee times prior to 1pm, but Pro Shop would not let me go off early because of the GN rate, rules and guidelines. Hmmm... ??

Anyway, course is a Gem!

Albeit greens had been punched 7-10 days prior.
All greens were bumpy, punched holes filled with sand and topped with sand.
Understand the course maintenance...

I will be back...

What’s up with the flagstick?

Sent me off the back nine first. Five of the nine flag sticks were laying off to the side. Maintenance must’ve went through all the greens and forgot to put the flag sticks back. Pretty much ruined the game just because of the aggravation. Pro shops answer was oops

This course must not be missed!

This is a beautiful course which we always play when visiting from Scotland. It is a great layout winding through quiet wooded areas with water on most holes providing a strong, but fair challenge to all levels of golfer. There are several opportunites for that one "shot of the day".
The fairways, greens and bunkers are always in lovely condition and a pleasure to play. It is complemented by an excellent practice range with free warm up balls to loosen up and a nice inviting clubhouse. The organisation is slick and the staff extremely pleasant and helpful. Indeed on our last visit I had booked to play on the wrong day and the team could not have been more helpful in sorting out my mistake and fitting us into the schedule. It saved my bacon as I'd kept this treat for the last day of our golf trip to celebrate a friends 60th! Do not miss this course if you get the chance, you won't be disappointed. We will be back in Sept/Oct to take on the challenge again.

Greens in Rough shape had just been sanded,a little too much sand..

Great course very challenging and in great shape other than greens being sanded. I will go back again. Great layout and staff was very good. It just would’ve been nice to have been notified that the greens were undergoing maintenance before playing.

Exceptional Conditions

Course was simply pristine from tee to green, and greens were perfect speed & rolled true (stay below the hole!!). Tee boxes level, fairways lush, greens & collars flawless. Bunkers had great & consistent sand....only negative was hole #7 (long par 3 over water) had a temp green for some reason, even though it looked fine & no one was working on it. Really looked forward to playing that hole. Had played here once several years ago and was anxious to return, but prices are a little steep for me during the season, so took this opportunity to play before leaving for the year. An outstanding track that has plenty of trouble lurking if you don't hit it straight. A must play course if you're in the area. Although a "private club", we were welcomed & treated very well as a Golf Now player.

Twilight

Booked a round later in the day because I’m cheap; great value at $55, but would be apprehensive to pay the rack rate of $125.

Great condition, greens rolled fast and true. Tee to green hard to find much to complain about, fun layout too!

Got stuck behind some slower groups, but luckily joined up with a member, we skipped 4 holes but it was worth it, no one in front of us.

Will definitely be back, especially during off-season when rates are more in my budget
