I have played here a lot. I really like the course and most of the staff. Sadly, there’s one guy who is occasionally there who is abrasive and just plain rude. Based on how he talks down to the other staff, I assume he’s a manager. After multiple run ins with him this summer, I’ve decided to not spend my money there anymore. It stinks, because I really do like playing there when it’s not over booked and the pace of play isn’t 6+ hours, but I have a three strike rule with regards to customer service and this dude just struck out

This course has potential, but that potential isn't being lived up to. It's simply not maintained. Fairways are hard as a rock from never being watered. Sticking a green is like trying to stick it on a concrete pad. The greens that are watered enough to stick one on are covered in pock marks from people not repairing their ball marks. In the rare instance someone creates a divot, there's no chance of it getting replaced. I gave this course three chances during three different times of year. I wanted to give the poor conditions the benefit of a doubt thinking that maybe the weather played a big role, but that's not it. The course simply isn't maintained by the management or respected by those who play it. Their clubhouse wasn't bad though, for what that's worth.

This course has come a long way in the past few years. It's always been a fun track with some challenging holes as well as some holes that you can score on if you play them well. The front 9 is pretty standard, but the back has a lot of elevation changes and some very fun holes. The conditions are impressive currently. Everything is green, greens are firm and fast but not dry, fairways are plush, and the roughs are challenging. Unfortunately, this place is always packed and many on the course don't practice good golf etiquette. I play here regularly, and getting stuck behind a slow playing group that refuses to let you play through is a common occurrence. Lot's of high handicappers like to play from the tips here for some reason, which really slows down the pace of play seeing as how their second and even third shots are often from behind the whites. Play forward folks!!! This is my favorite course in the area and I love to play here. However, I often opt to go elsewhere to avoid standing around. When I call to schedule a tee time, I am sure to ask if the earlier tee times are mostly foursomes. If the answer is yes, I go elsewhere. I'm not sure what it is about this course, but it almost seems as if folks are trying to spend as much time out there as possible every round. Playing slow is fine, holding up other people is not. With the popularity of golf in general this year, and especially the popularity of this ever improving track, it's time the folks at Riverby Hills consider hiring a ranger to maintain the pace of play.

I've played this course dozens of times and always look forward to my next round. There are some challenging holes, as well as some holes to score on if you can keep it left. The course keeps getting better too. It's just now starting to mature, which means it's getting more challenging all the time. It is well maintained and a ton of fun. My only complaint is the lack of respect shown by other golfers. Maybe it's just a side effect of golf's popularity this year, but the course is suffering from disrespect. Ball marks not getting repaired, giant gouges far beyond what one would call a divot, litter, cigarette butts, and even chunks of green damaged from clubs angrily being slammed into them. Hopefully that's not a trend that will continue.

This is a great course! Their tee times are spaced perfectly thus creating a great pace of play. The course is challenging, but not overly difficult. Fairways are plush, roughs are deep but playable, greens are challenging. It's a bit pricey, but worth it.

I wish the owners would spend some money on this track. It's an easy track that would be perfect for teaching new golfers, if it was in decent enough shape to play. It's basically field and woods with something resembling greens and tee boxes. There's no fairway or rough, just earth between the tee and the green. The ground is so hard that it's like hitting off your driveway. I come here when I want to take my young children out without worrying about other golfers. There's never anyone on the course so it's a great place to take the kids and let them hit as many shots as they want. I can practice my tee shots and putting, but hate swinging my irons into their rock hard "fairways".

This is one of the best maintained public courses I have played in this area. The fairways are like carpets and the roughs will punish you. There are basically no trees anywhere on the course, which makes for easy recoveries when you miss a fairway, but also hurts the overall aesthetics of the course. Pace of play is always good, but they will pair you up if you don't have a foursome. I'm normally OK with that, but some days you just want to get out for a round by yourself or with a buddy. Because of their price, their desire to pair you up when you don't have a foursome, and their lack of trees, this course is down the list of places I choose to play.
