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 😡😡
Very slow
Course allowed 5 some ahead of our 4 some and we waited in fairway on every hole.
All aspects of course were OK.
Hole 14 was great as I recorded my first hole-in-one!
Not great.
Course would not honor the Golfnow cart included price. The unapologetic staff had us pay an extra $48 & tax. Course and greens were in rough shape.. Lots of ball marks on the greens, very indicative of retirement courses...I get it, bending over is tough...But if you're gonna line up all your putts and pull the flagstick you might as well fix your ball marks. Which brings me to the pace of play...Very slow. We had random residents joining groups to form fivesome's halfway through the round making it an almost 5+ hour round.😬
