While pulling into the parking lot there was a small black bear knocking over the garbage can which was comical. The wildlife throughout the course is great and The views are spectacular.

The fairways and greens look good but they are wet and slow. The tee boxes are spongy with longer fairway like grass.

For $120/player I’d expect to have gps in carts or at least usb charger. A lot of bunkers in bad condition especially fairway bunkers which they let go growing grass and rocks throughout.

When I booked the tee time I asked about the conditions and they decided to leave out the fact that the front nine is hard as concrete, tee boxes and fairways mostly burnt out and bunkers a mess. Huge patches on greens with no grass. A few holes the cup is on a slope that the ball wont stay within 10-15 ft so you’re basically playing goofy golf. Wouldn’t say the staff is too friendly either. Shame this place has gone downhill so much since the layout is decent. The back nine is better but still not what you’d expect for $50. Another note, the carts are pretty old and shocks definitely gone. May need a chiropractor due to the cart paths being filled with potholes and huge bumps throughout entire course. nearby courses in much better condition for the same price so until they decide to take better care of the course and amenities I’d go elsewhere.

The course is hard as cement and brown throughout. The tees are destroyed with divots probably because I’ve hardly ever seen a tee moved and they don’t have sand to put in divots. The greens are slow and you can tell they never roll the greens because there are Tons of pitch marks on every green even if you’re one of the first groups out for the day. The bunkers aren’t taken care of properly and typically if you hit in them the ball just bounces out or rolls to the low spot which has no sand. Rare occasion there’s so much sand in one spot that your feet actually sink when walking in that specific bunker.

The carts are always dirty (not cleaned from previous persons use including mud, garbage etc), slow and shocks gone because the cart paths are in such bad condition. 16th hole driving to tee box is borderline dangerous because there’s a huge hole which your cart actually tips to the side. On the 11th hole you have to pray your cart stops beside the tee box because it’s such a big slope and brakes can barely stop cart and you just slide down the path.

Earlier this year, it was actually the owner and his group holding up the golf course, driving into Another fairway without looking while a group was about to tee off and then they just waved at the group to hit while they were still in middle of the fairway.

It’s a shame this place has gone down hill so much because the layout is decent and could be a good public course if it was maintained. Customer service would be a good addition too since that’s the business they are in. the past few times playing here have been nothing but bad experiences so I won’t be returning for the foreseeable future.

Started playing this course a few years ago and it's always in fantastic condition from tee to green. Greens are smooth and fast, bunkers well maintained and tee boxes perfectly manicured. Every hole has its own identity and keeps your attention throughout the round. Great for players of any skill level and if the wind is blowing it can take down the best player. The practice area including driving range, chipping green and putting green are all fantastic which is an added bonus. Finally, I finish every round in the bar/restaurant which is the perfect atmosphere for a drink and great food. River Hall is a must play for me every time I visit the area.

We started behind 2 twosomes and the pace of play was pretty good but after a few holes we were waiting 5-10 minutes on almost every shot.

After making the turn the twosome in front of us drove ahead of a group of five players which was obviously the reason the entire course was backed up. I called the pro shop to make them aware of the fivesome on the 11th hole. Typically, I would not call in but all five of the players were just standing around in the fairway and nobody was even preparing to hit their ball.

They sent a "ranger" out that told them they couldn't play as five and to let us play through. When we went to play through on the next hole the guys started berating me and my gf using vulgar language but the ranger had already went back to the clubhouse. The ranger should have stayed on the tee when we approached as well as make sure they stopped playing as five which they never did. They laughed at my gf when she hit her tee shot and continued to yell at us as we progressed through the hole.

We decided to just quit on the next hole because my gf was extremely upset and it was ridiculous that the course allowed this entire situation to occur. We went to the pro shop and were given a voucher for $30 but the chance of us actually playing here ever again is doubtful. It's a shame because I have been playing at this course for nearly 15 years but the fact that they never have a ranger on the course and did not properly take care of this situation is inexcusable.

Those five players should have been kicked off the golf course. This is the perfect example why golf courses continue to lose business and people don't have the time to play golf because it takes too long.

1. Outside staff watched me carry my clubs and gf from car to cart and then cart to car.
2. Starter let a 3 some and 4 some start on 10 so it went from a 4 hour round to 5+ hour round.
3. Extremely wet which isn’t their fault but noticeable that course isn’t well maintained regardless especially the bunker which looked like they used beach sand.
4. Greens probably around a 9 but the fringe was more like 2-3 inch rough and cut very uneven.

Definitely would not recommend especially for the money around $60/player. I’ve played courses for $30 that put this to shame.

Sadly we played the day after a major rainstorm so the course was pretty wet especially the greens that I could tell were slower than normal.

Beautiful views throughout and a fantastic layout. Challenging course but multiple tees for all skill levels.

Definitely return to play next time in the area.

First time playing the course. We were paired with 2 members who were very nice and helped with some local knowledge of the course. Pretty straight forward though so no problem without guidance. GPS in the carts, fast greens and minimal water which I think is a bonus in Florida. Staff was very friendly and food/drinks reasonably priced. I definitely recommend for any skill level and was worth every dollar. Plan to play this course every time I visit the area.
