I gave it one more try

So…I’ve now lived in Fishers for more than 20 years. I can’t count how many times I’ve played at River Glen…but this will be my last. First…I check in the young guy behind the counter greets the gentlemen in front of me with a Good Morning…he greets me with a What’s Up. Next …the ranger harasses us on 3 different occasions and tell us we have to pick it up….at this point we’re leaving the tee…the group behind us is still in their fairway. The second time …he warns the 2 some we’re playing with ..we’re waking onto the green..the group behind us is on the tee….385yrds away (side note: we had to wait on the tee of the previous mentioned hole because the group in front of us had to take a pee break in the bushes). He then follows us around for a free additional holes not saying anything just watching…at this time…we have a whole hole lead on the group behind us. Now…I hate to take it to a “race thing” but me and my playing companion are black…and just about every time I’ve played here..I’ve had an issue (once heard someone refer to me as “colored” also…had a ranger about 10 years ago watch me hit a drink and said that “I hit that ball like Tiger Woods” So…with all that being said …even though I live 7 mins from the course ….I’LL NEVER PLAY RIVER GLEN AGAIN!!!!

Pace keeps getting slower and slower.

Been here 4 or 5 times and each time it has gotten significantly slower. Wish we were sent off the back since it was clear and the front it took 2 hours 40 mins to play on a Monday evening. Love the course and people though.

A river runs through it

This course is so so much fun but you gotta put the ball in good spots ! Can’t hit driver off every tee , iron play must be good ! The greens were slick but a bit beat up from others not repairing their ball marks ! It is definitely a must play ! I am going to try to go weekly for my mid week practice round !!

Their cart does not provide a windshield. It was brutal during fall and early spring weather.

River Glen always provides a good challenge, great course conditions and a fun round of golf. I think it is the best value in the Carmel, Indiana area and love playing here. Do yourself a favor and play this great course.

Beautiful course with good difficulty level for a beginner. Went on a Saturday with perfect weather, so the pace was rushed.

SLOW PLAYERS delight...

This course is very nice. Nothing wrong with the course. Its a nice layout that is well maintained. The staff is nice and helpful as well. I can't give the course a better rating because the pace of play is awful! Its achingly slow. The reason is the old women playing slow and unwilling to let anyone play thru! So...just know...if plan on playing there...the 4hr 15 minute pace of play shown on the card is just a guide that probably won't be met.

Slow play and bad greens.

It took us over 5 hours to play the course and didn’t get to tee off on time tee’d off 20 minutes late for our tee time due to the slow pace golfing. The green had many bump causing the ball not to role well at all.

Another outstanding day!

I just don’t think you can go wrong playing River Glen. It is a great course with plenty of challenge and the course is in really good condition. The only complaint I have is that some of the greens appear to show some wear at this point in the season. Probably due to all of the heat. Otherwise it was a great day!
