1st time playing, new to area, clubhouse needs to be demolished- old and musky, course layout is great and for a country course it is long with very undulating greens but could need a click up on the speed but the greens were in the best condition of all, some elevation changes - par 3s are the most difficult to score on! Bunkers need help also, but I’m not in them enough to care too much (it’s a penalty regardless).
With new clientele coming in to the area it would benefit the course management to do improvements and use some weed control in FWs - dandelions and crabgrass everywhere…. I constantly had to move the ball around to find real grass(in the FW)

Played this course many of times and one thing I loved was the openness to the public with range balls provided
Not this time - little small bags not more than say 12-15 in each.
Now I didn’t get any because I thought the range is “open” but I seen the bags from other patrons.

Disappointing

Same great conditions
Greens were a bit slower than usual but it made it more receptive and still rolled true
Chipping was better for that reason

Last time I shot a 79 and today I shot a 81
Tomorrow I will go back and we will see
I am a 8 hcp

Had an early Tee time- other than the 4some in front of me (they let me pass on hole 4) I ran through the course in 2.5 hrs.
Greens are perfect - yet dont' play such a hard break. Greens are quick - I like
Light breeze here and there but perfect weather
shot 79 from the Blue Tees today
Of Course Im giving a excellent rating

Haven’t played here for a few years ; usually very wet and miserable; creates slow play

The course layout is challenging especially from the tips but tee shots rolled and greens stuck.

Bunkers were not washed out
Greens - maybe 11-13 stimpmeter and it took the breaks you see and were responsive

The “ONLY” bad part is that the maintenance crew was all over the place while you were trying to hit- weed eaters running and mowers circling, dust flying and would not shut down when you were putting or teeing off - ran by younger kids for the summer.

Beware of the greens!!!
Tricky greens with invisible breaks everywhere, definitely a members course

So the rough is crazy with magical disappearing acts. DO NOT hit your ball anywhere near the rough or bring enough balls with you to take your FREE drop.
Told staff about and even they said that probably a two foot row on each side - first cut should be shaved to help but it was great time

Aerated greens about 2 - 3 weeks in so greens were bumpy, otherwise great all around

If you have tough decisions on where to play. Choose river ridge. It may cost an extra $ 10 on average of surrounding courses but it is well worth it.
Greens are big and usually quick but this time the first three holes were quick then it all slowed down. Layout is great especially for the difficulty, a lot of area to miss hit and still be ok

Everything about this course is unmatched. One only thing is the started seemed to snarl at me when I waved at the turn, BUT probably because we rolled out before he was able to check us in at the 1st tee..SORRY! Also, slightly pricey for time of year but now significant

Layout is awesome with undulations tee to green,
Greens roll fine and definitely take big breaks but wish they were a little quicker than quick sand; greens are soft and balls stick so play to yardage...front nine is definitely the scoring side so take advantage....good range and practice area...top practice green is nothing like playing greens so putt at range green...
Has potential to be pristine but due to location I think it is missed a lot....a lot of older players play there and pace of play is deadening...

Always liked the layout, greens were soft for being replaced, but liked it; greens rolled "sneaky" quick but took the breaks, FWs were out of shape and very dormant, but it is a Fred Smith course so expected! If you ever played Fred Smith golf then you know zero funds go into the courses...sad...I recommend though because of staff, amenities and layout...
Could be premier if more love (monies) was put into it!

Froup in front was a walking foursome two hole behind forward group. I was in a twosome and they would not let us through. We skipped the 9th to move ahead. Greens had bare spots and not very maintained. Probably worse in the area right now. Course still charges full price though. Would wait a few weeks for greens to recover

Great small course, short yet challenging, shot placement is a must. Greens run true with good pace. Clubhouse grill is excellent. Top 5 of my favorite courses.
