Great value

The layout was interesting enough, the greens were appropriately challenging - just slow as they keep it a little longer for summer. The staff helped by breaking up random foursomes- speed of play was great. And the price was a steal!

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.

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.
