Played Riverview the other day, and the course is definitely turning into a neglected track.

The carts are beyond dirty. Cigarette butts, bottle caps, and other trash were still in the cupholders and compartments in most of the carts staged for golfers. When asked about the cleanliness, the staff said it was ok because there were plastic dividers in them.

The range was mats only, but the mat doesn't seem like it was made for a golf course, more like a football field turf. As such, it was difficult to hit off of, and warm up. Additionally, there were six golf balls in my small bucket that were sliced up by a mower, which i added to the the large pile of them behind the hitting area.

The course looks green at first, but the rough is not growing in, and the greens are incredibly bumpy, dry and burnt. Bunkers are unplayable for the most part. Usually they had mainly rocks and hard packed clay in them. Tee boxes are incredibly uneven througout the courses which made the round quite frustrating.

Overall, don't waste your money here and go to another course in the area.

This course is turning into a joke. The carts aren’t close to clean. Cigarette butts, beer caps, trash left overnight and not cleaned by staff. But they’re ok to use because you put plastic dividers in them? Get real. Wouldn’t be surprised to see the health inspector here soon.

Mats only is ok, but it’s not even a golf mat. It’s like a high school football field gave its old turf to the course. Not to mention my bucket of balls had half a dozen balls split wide open with a mower. If you’re going to set a Mats only policy, do it on the weekdays so your Sunday tee times can use grass. Not worth the money paid.

Food is ok, and the staff is friendly, but it seems management has left them out to dry. The manager, Dan I think is his name, wasn’t there to answer for the sub standard Conditions.

The course is a huge letdown. The bunkers are full of rocks, and barely any sand. Tee boxes aren’t even close to level. The greens are burnt, dry, and bumpy. Other courses in the area have smooth, lush greens, but it seems Riverwood doesn’t think it’s necessary to water their greens after punching them over a month ago.

Bottom line: don’t waste your money, go to Wil Mar or the Neuse for the same price or less. This place is a goat track.
