Good value course

Golf pass mid day hot deal for $25 with only 2 available, so I knew I would be paired with someone, if not a threesome. Got set up with a partner and the other 2 didn't show so we were a twosome. Starter insisted on pairing us together on a cart even though we would be using the same number of carts as a foursome. Finally the shop approved us each using a cart. We kept a good pace and finished under 4 hours, playing through 1 group. Course was a little soggy, so carts on path as expected. Good greens and tee fairways. Couple of beat up tee boxes. Definitely play it again when the weather is good.

Slow Play

It was a pretty day but we had a foursome ahead of us that was enjoying it a little too much! They were 2 holes behind, we stood on the tee box with them on several holes and they made no offer for us to play thru. Called the clubhouse on #13, and they actually came out to tell the slow group to pick it up (thank you ranger).....should have called them around the 6th hole! Round could have been 30 min. faster easily.
Greens are good, fairways a little thin, damp but overall good condition for the winter.

Solid course / Good Value

Liked playing it for 1st time last year, so decided to come back while I was in town. Nice layout! Has some hidden shots, so good to play with someone who knows course. Uphill shots definitely require you to club up 1. Greens seem to be in really good shape. Make sure you practice putting before going out. May be slightly slower than practice green, but depends on angle of putt. Would definitely consider coming back to play next time in area.

Great course that will provide challenge w/ great conditions!

Enjoyed the course greatly, as it was a challenging setup and in great shape. Pace was a bit slow, but it was a beautiful Friday in mid-September and every tee time was booked with a threesome or foursome. Got a small bucket of balls at no charge at check in was a nice surprise. Kudos to River Ridge and kudos to Craigers!
