Wow! The greens!

It's been a while since I've played this course. Of all the Sun City courses this one must have the toughest greens. Every green is undulating, resulting in huge breaks on every putt. It seemed like there wasn't much grass on the greens making them even tougher. Lots of bare spots in the fairways. Still would recommend to anyone.

There were carts

When we arrived there were plenty of carts available. Later in the day that seems to be a problem as players were waiting for us to unload and take our carts. The guys in the pro shop were very friendly.

Very undulating greens

I have played Riverview a dozen times over the years & every time I swear I'll never come back because of the ridiculous undulating greens I'm not a terrible putter but can putt much better on other courses, this time I absolutely will never return or so I promise

THREE, FIVE SOMES?!

I had a tee time yet they let three , 5 somes play in front of me at the designated time. Complete “butt” hattery and no one knew what was going on. If I were you, I would just walk up and play it because they’re clueless.

Reviews are accurate

A nice course at a good price BUT slow play and 5 some. Couldn't believe it. Obviously course doesn't care because it comes up all over the feedback.

Part of the problem is because they put out more groups with shorter tee time intervals. 2 groups every 15 min. 8 groups per hour versus 6 groups at 10 min intervals.

If pace of play is important then this course is not for you.

Like the Course

Check in always smooth. Range is fine, glad to hit off grass. Course was in decent shape. Greens always a challenge. Still difficult chipping if you miss the green by about 20 feet as it is mostly bare. Played in about 4:30 which was ok.
