Staff Requires Work

First, I’m not from the Houston area, I travelled there for vacation and family. I decided to play some golf while the ladies went and shopped, figured I’d go and have some fun. I played as a single as I normally do here in my home town (Fort Worth), rarely do I play with someone I know. When I got there the course was just amazing, and well-manicured with tons of elevation. Unfortunately, when I got on #1 t-box with the three gentleman I was paired with the marshalled yelled only one ball off the box and was extremely curt with everyone getting ready to t-off. Thought that was odd, but nevertheless we proceeded, and then it was downhill from there on the ‘experience’. As we began to play a marshal followed us on a cart and continuously commented that we needed to pick up the pace. We played the entire round in 3.5hrs, but time after time he asked us to move along, even as he watched the group in front of us play slow. On top of that the group behind us kept hitting into us and nothing was ever said. If I’m paying $55+ to play golf, I’d expect some curtesy and enjoy my round. The other issue we had were the greens, they aerated them and never told anyone they did so. If I’d known that I wouldn’t have played there. But they allowed us to pay and play anyways. If it wasn’t for the rude staff and the failure to inform folks about the greens I’d say the course was fine, but I don’t think I’ll ever go back when I visit.

Fun Layout, But Course Needs Work

This course was designed back before bombing drives was a ‘thing’. The course is very tight on the front, which forces you to think out your shots prior to playing your next. The course is not setup for muni-play (i.e. pace of play), it’s setup to be played by the rules and challenge every group member to play through. Out of bounds, and natural hazards will drive you nuts, but keeps you honest in how you actually stack up against others within your group. The course is old school country club style of play, so penalty areas all over the place; unlike other muni courses I’ve played.

I will continue to play the course to help improve my game, but they need to work on the greens, and trim up the areas, which are eyesores out there. I played earlier in 2016, and just the other day (early 2017), I can say someone has taken the responsibility of cleaning the place up because it’s night and day in terms of looks and how the course has evolved. Overall I’m taking a group out there in a few weeks to really punish them wit the tightness.

Only major comment for the staff: Cut the trees on 13 & 6 t-boxes. They’re literally having over it.

My Only Complaint

This course needs to regulate the amount of groups on the course. It took my partner and I plus another pair 6.5hrs to play a round of golf. the group in front of us had not value of 'ready golf'. Causing us to lose rhythm and lag on our play. The marshall just shrugged us off and kept going. I've played the Rivers 3 times, and will never play again until this is fixed. I play many muni courses, and I've never maxed out past 5hrs on the weekend. Please fix, this is a fun course, but you need regulations.
