Great Round

Really enjoyed the course. Greens were in good shape, but their mowing machine has a problem in that it cuts a little deep on one blade and it scalped the green in places. They still rolled fairly well. The bartender, Abby, was very nice, and so was Red the guy running the pro shop. All in all a great day at the course.

My wife and I went to play on a Monday around 5PM. The gentleman in the clubhouse would not allow us to play because he was going to go home as soon as the golfers on 18 finished. The course was empty so he didn't want to wait until we finished because he didn't want to wait for our cart to come in. The weather was perfect for golf. Very disapointing.

Shocked

Raisin river used to be a great golf course, I understand they have been sold. I was shocked as the condition of golf course has drastically changed. Not for the good.

Still a challenge

Raisin West is a good course to play. It has always been a good challenge without being unfriendly. Sorry it will be lost to the expansion of medical facilities.

Excellent for first time

Had an excellent time at this course, Layout is simple, and I enjoyed having multiple Par 3's to practice my iron tee shots, every hole makes you anxious to tee off. Staff was fantastic at welcoming me to their course, will definitely be back.

Best value downriver

By far the best course and staff downriver, course is always in great shape and the greens are always in tip top shape!
It's also one of the prettiest courses you will find around. Between the two courses the east plays longer and has some better views but both are a lot of fun to play.
I've enjoyed some of the best times of my life with my dad on this course over the years, if it goes away I will truly miss it.

Great bargain!

Course let us on before our actual tee time. This helped us out to make out next engagement. For the price and course, could not pass it up. Finished in a little over 3 hours. Would definitely do it again.

Enjoyable course without much trouble

Enjoyed the course and the conditions were very good. Par 5's are rather short and all are reachable in two. Water does not really come into play but there is a lot of sand both in the fairways and around the greens. My only complaint is that although the greens held the ball well and rolled very true they were a bit on the slow side. I would like this course a lot more if the greens were faster. This is a course to build confidence as it is not very difficult.

Nice greens

Golfed the west course and was impressed with the overall condition of the course, especially the greens. Lots of traps here, so if you like the challenge of avoiding bunkers, it'll be right up your alley. They kept the bunkers in good fluffy shape through most of the holes, but did not attend to those in the later holes. 6 par threes make the course seem a little shorter than it really is, but it was still a fair layout.
