River Hills Country Club
Some greens were rough but for the most part, this course is in good condition! I highly recommend to play this course! Management employees were very friendly, professional and welcoming!!
Our round
Enjoyed very much! Nice layout and challenging g from the tips. Would have liked the fairways to have been a Lil more lush, but greens were excellent. Bunkers could use some work. Overall though, a good round.
Disappointed
I've played this course many times, this was the fist time in last couple of years. I'm very disappointed that the greens have gotten so bad and fairways weren't cut for the weekend. Thanks so much for Golf Now cause I would never pay the original price to play there. Also people were skipping holes and jumping around instead of waiting. I played behind a twosome and they didn't care for others and were playing two balls each and didn't have any consideration for the ones behind them and didn't care that they were holding others up. I left after 9 holes. Once I got to #10 it was backed up at least 3 or 4 groups!
This course has great features
It was a nice course. Layout is kinda odd but once you get started it kind of makes sense. Played early luckily because by the time we made the turn, the parking lot was packed.
River Hills
I personally really enjoy this course. It's one of my favorites in my area.
The scenery was beautiful, but the grass was patchy and a variety of lengths. The greens looked like they weren't totally seeded. I know it's Winter, but I haven't seen conditions like this on any other course I have played in the Corpus Christi area.
River Hills Country Club
Great course layout. Many challenging tee shots offer benefits to those who can both fade and draw the ball. Most greens are fast, especially down hill. Some greens are noticeably slower though, so take your time to study them all. Fairways are far from "plush". It isn't that the fairways don't have grass, for the most part they do. However, you have to pick the ball cleanly, because the grass is thin and the dirt is clay underneath.
Hidden Gem
I have played here several times and really enjoy the layout. Great view from #14 green. The greens were in excellent shape, a bit slow, but very plush and true.
Good value
This course used to be a premier facility in the area. Unfortunately it has declined over time. The greens are in nice condition, however the fairways are bad. Restrooms on the course need attention. Water hazards are dried up. It is a good course for the price through Golfnow, but I would never pay the higher rates. The carts are in very good condition and the proshop is very nice as well. A couple of the municipal courses in corpus Christi are in much better condition than this one. It is very unfortunate.
Good layout, poorly maintained
Nice rolling hills northwest of Corpus Christi. The big issue is the conditions of fairways. Weedy, not cut.
Worst maintained course i have ever played
I played the coursa
e arly in am the only grass cutting being done was one worker using a weed wacker. When grass was mowed it was so long it left clumps all over the course
Not good at all
This course was in very poor shape. I played it regularly in the late 90's and it has definitely gone down hill. The fairways and rough were not distinguishable and the hard pan was everywhere. I had seen on the local news that a new pro took over River Hills and the course was returning to its former glory. The news was wrong. The only reason to play this course is if one of the "Hot Deals" on golfnow.com is available and even a $10, a person might feel that they were ripped off. Terrible track...
The course definitely has a lot of potential as the layout is fun. It just needs some serious TLC.
River Hills vacation
We were in Corpus Christi area, and saw this course on Golfnow web page, so we thought we would give it a try. Beautiful course, just did not know that greens had been recently aerated......I know it is a necessary evil. We had a great time loved the layout. Now when you approach no. 11 green, take a look at the house on the left that is for sale............Has tape on broken window. We did not do that! We will play there again.
Worth the money......
No it was not worth the money. I would not even play here if it was a 70% off Hot Deal and here is why:
This course is poorly maintained. The fairways had weeds, rocks, and garbage. The layout of the course is just as bad as the condition of it. Various tee boxes have cart paths right in front of it and no one really observes the 90 degree rule. How can you expect someone to tee off when there is a cart whizzing right in front of them?!
There were beer cans, food wrappers, and empty sleeves of balls on the 'fairway' in numerous holes. I am in Corpus Christi every other week and will certainly NOT be spending any additional time here.
If you choose to play here, I'm sure you will agree with this review.
rolling hills
strong winds made these rolling hills more challenging. greens were a little slow
Great course
Excellent price for a great course. Thanks Golf Now.
Awsome golf course:
The course was in excellent condition. The greens were fast and smooth, fairways great. We had a great time playing!!
Diamond in the rough
I've lived here since 1974 never new this course was here. Really nice
The course was in good shape.
I have played for the past two years. I am impressed with the improvements to the course and how it inhances the experience.
Good Experience
The golf course was a good experience. The golf now website was having problems making the tee time. I had to call the desk for help. It was finally resolved, although the next day I received a phone call from another Corpus Christi golf course saying I had inquired about their course. I had not.
