Fun Track

Course was in great shape! I was a single, w/a minimal wait. Played thru couple of foursomes on front, then hooked up with a twosome on the back. Once again the pace of play was great. I couldn’t of asked for a better pace of play! I would recommend it to anyone!!

Good Course

Good condition, good price, fast play, but day was very warm. Liked everything about the course. What I thought was funny is that they have "fake" wolves near the greens to keep the geese away but the geese ignore them. I think they need to hire a few herding dogs to chase them off the course. Would recommend.

Great place

Fairways and greens were terrific. Ladies day and they made us play fast. Three and a half hour round. Driveing range needs work is the only negative.

Nice choice for a fun round of golf

River Run is a well maintained golf course that provides a just right balance of challenges for the everyday golfer. While the course is not that long, many of the holes provide decision making challenges to be successful - water, trees, and doglegs just to name a few. If you're looking for a fun round of golf on a 'not your run of the mill' golf course, this is it. Sadly the day I golfed it had rained significantly prior to my round and the course had standing water in many places, a hazard to a course built on a river flood plain. So watch the weather and make it point to get on over to River Run, you'll be glad you did!

Love this golf course

I wish I lived closer so I could become a member. This is really a nice golf course that rewards good ball striking. It is challenging without being all tricked up. It makes for a very enjoyable golf experience. The food is good, the bar is good and the staff and patrons are friendly. Even though it's a long drive, my friends and I come here often because we enjoy it so much.
