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.

Very Nice

My wife and I like to walk courses but we try to be careful in choosing par 72s. This course was perfect for us, just over 5 miles per the fitbit. Plus we golfed one of our better rounds. Had a few errant drives but the rough is pretty wide and very forgiving. Most wide shots were playable.
Fairways and greens were very nice except i must say the greens were pretty solid. Made them very fast but also not easy to stick long shots to the green. I had several approach shots to the flag that bounced and rolled off the back. Very seldom left a divot and when it did was very shallow and hard to repair.

Golf carts

Sun City courses charge way too much for cart rental; most courses at most $18 for the cart not $15 per person; we would play there more often because we like the layout and staff but to charge $25 per person for the cart is ridiculous 😡😡

Expect slow round.

Par 3 fourth hole one group on T box and 3 groups waiting. Par 3 on back nine almost as bad. Course in fair condition but slow play can be frustrating.
