River view golf course.

This course was absolutely horrible. Had zero fun playing this course. Pulling up to the course, nobody was in the parking lot and once we got on the course I understood why. The course is in unplayable condition. The course is beautifully laid out. Has amazing potential but the course is not manicured at all. There is no resemblance of a fairway anywhere on this course. The greens are terrible. It was just not worth the $45. It is a $20 course at best. Pace of play was good because no one else was there. Would not recommend to anyone. Don’t be fooled by the rating on this course.

Course should not have been open for play. Many cart paths washed out with mud and most traps filled with water. Should have never tried to play in these conditions, however when the course was open for play it should have been in much better condition.

Good value for the money

Have played this course many times. It’s a very good course for the money, however the fairways seemed to be lacking in care right now.

Pics need updating

Out of town guest, pics on golf now look plush and beautiful. For the cost thought, must do! Greens were ok - course in general Very rough shape, even at $40 seemed steep for conditions.

Greens are the only good thing

The fairways and cart paths are like you’re driving a truck in the woods. Greens are actually really nice

Needs some work

Over the years the course has moved downhill, after reading the reviews I was hoping they were incorrect, unfortunately not, bunkers are horrible (baked mud) fairways are very patchy and in not the best condition for the time of year, tee boxes are bare and dirt ridden, greens were the only light if any, unfortunately will not be back

Not worth time nor the money

Good course if you have time for 6.5 hour round. Course could be ran better. One of the worst experiences golfing. Club staff was great though.

The weather was great in the low 70's. we had quite a bit of rain earlier in the week so places were still wet in spots. There were places on the course where there was no grass, so hitting off of dirt makes shots more difficult, or you just had to move the ball where you could hit off some turf.

The greens were in good shape, but the sand traps ere too packed to effectively hit out of.

The value for the money was about as good as it gets in the Dallas area, which is why I chose to play it.

Course Conditions

Was very disappointed. Course is in very poor condition. Tee boxes awful, fairways have so many dirt patches, and ditches everywhere. Sand bunkers have no sand at all, only hard dirt with water. I thought I was playing in a pasture. I honestly won’t go there again. On a positive note the staff did a good job. This course needs a lot of love…

Course rating explained

Friendly staff, clubhouse, range, and amenities are fine. Course is not very well kept. Fairways have mounds, looks like from the geese, and the grass is in bad shape. Lots of dirt patches in fairway and of course where rough grass is supposed to be. Cart paths concrete all broken up. It’s a rough ride in cart on paths and on the course. Hate to be harsh but I used to play this course many years ago and seems that it has been let go. Very nice older homes around it so too bad. The layout is good, just needs a lot of maintenance to get back in playing shape.

Improving…

I have been playing this course for several years now and it has had its ups and downs. It appears to be heading in the up direction again. The greens were soft and grttable and in better shape than other courses around for similar price point. They have fully turned over their cart fleet which is a big improvement and have made some upgrades to their water management systems. The fairways were not great but coming along. The “rough” was dry hard and terribly inconsistent. All in all it was a pleasant round and finished in 3hrs and 45mins which considering we were playing behind several full groups is really not bad at all. We waited several times, but it was not obnoxiously slow. I look forward to playing here again before the weather gets too ridiculously hot!
