Early Closing

Not happy that we got a warning they were pulling all the flags at 4:20 pm. There was plenty of daylight until after 5 pm. Greens were pretty good but, the fairways were below average.

First Time Playing

First time to play course.

Greens are in fantastic shape! Course layout is different due to the river. I enjoyed the layout. Tough par 3’s. Very slow pace of play. Took 5.5 hours to play on a Sat. I won’t be back.

Riverview Golf - Bargin & Tough Course

The staff are super friendly & accommodating. The practice putting area is fantastic. The course is tough because most of the fairways run parallel to others, so not a lot of room side to side. The greens are in excellent condition.

Get in early or expect a slow round..

We teed off at 7:45am on schedule. After the first 2 holes, we were waiting on the groups in front of us and the group behind us started to hit into us. It’s very unfortunate that the close tee times created this hazard.

Challenging, but fun course

I enjoyed river view golf course, for the price, it is very acceptable. It is a relatively challenging course with the river in play on a lot of holes.

Unnatural course layout

The layout made based crossing the same river over and again, and the scenery wasn't good and it wasn't fun.

You get what you pay for

No frills or thrills here. Starting your day with 5 groups on the first tee didn't help things.
