Rude staff

Starter very rude and a complete jerk. He said single must ride together and can’t have individual cart. Ridiculous for a $65 , 9 hole rate at 4:00 pm. Pace miserably slow with no ranger. Course in good shape but not worth the cost and hassle of staff.

Maintenance is a 10, but prepare for a challenge!

Riverwood is a very well maintained course. I would recommend to anyone, but the layout is by no means easy. I would raise caution to high handicaps, you will have some tight tee shots and fast, skinny greens you'll be hitting into. Course management is very important here.
Played here on a Sunday from the tips and it was quite a challenge. I'm not sure if on Sundays the greenskeeper decides to throw the pin on the most difficult locations possible but it sure seemed unfriendly that day, almost absurd on some holes, but not unfair. Pace of play was fine, but in the past it has been on the slower side. Staff is a 10. I like this course and will be coming back but rates are higher than they should be right now.

Riverwood

Whole course in great condition, greens fast and true, really nice. Pin placements were very tough, but I
Ike that. Course is fairly narrow in spots, definitely target golf on some holes. Ver expensive though, probably a one time experience based on cost.

Greens rolled extremely well

Would definitely come back and play this course. Greens rolled very well and played true. Very nice layout and a great challenge for anyones golf game.
A minor suggestion, being a country club member for a number of years, did not feel welcome at this facility. Was it because I booked on Golf now and not a full-time member with this course being semi-private?

Beautiful course- well kept

Enjoyed the grass type., as compared to other courses in the area. Greens were in excellent condition. The entire course was well kept. Fairways, on most holes, were tight and challenging. Will definitely play it again.

Great course

Beautiful area and the course was in great condition. It had some challenging holes which kept the round interesting. Pace of play was perfect! No delays at all. Due to hurricane, clubhouse is being renovated but pro shop still open. Tent for food til 2:30 pm.
Would highly recommend!
