Interesting greens

The course was in OK condition. The ground is firm even in the fairways. The approaches to the slopped greens are not easy. Balls tends to bounce coming in. The bunkers had been freshly filled with very loose sand which made them doubly tough. I'd like to come back and give it another go.

Best Public Greens in The Valley

Always enjoy the challenge of Riverview’s undulating greens. You can easily forget that you are in Sun City, until of course, you find out at the turn the snack bar closed at 2:45pm - four+ hours before sun goes down 😂

Double charge for carts

Got a good rate on Golf Now with cart included. However, they would not honor what I paid for with Golf Now even though it clearly stated cart included. Therefore, add $16. Also, they also charged my Fido g partner $16. Therefore, they double charge carts AND don’t honor pre-payment. Say it has been that way for 7 years. That tells me they are mid-leading patrons for 7 years with no desire to correct the problem with Gol Now. “Not my problem “. Highly disappointed, never drive that far again. No beverage cart on a Sunday either. Lots of tribal knowledge needed to play this course. Not worth it.

No Carts

Showed up an hour before tee time and were told they had no more carts and to come back after walking 9. After we saw carts come in from 18 people were taking them freely for tee times after ours. We had to track down our own carts then let the pro shop know. Need more staff, one man to run the pro shop and all incoming carts is a joke.

Slow Front Nine

I have played Riverview many times so I am familiar with their fivesome policy so I was very surprised by how slow the front nine of this round was going. At the seventh hole I observed there was actually a group of 6 golfers playing together. This was slowing down the pace of play even more then usual. A course ranger was making the rounds but I do not believe he did anything to breakup the group of six.
This large group and some of the fivesome pairings ahead of me were only playing 9 holes so the back nine of the round went smoothly and at a good pace.
If you have not played Riverview or the other Sun City Golf course before just know they do allow groups of 5 and that many of the course regulars walk the entire round. Take this into account when you are planning your round.
