Vacation golf.

Love the course. Spectacular scenery. Nice layout and very fair challenge. The fairways were a little brown in spots but it did not impact play. The course staff was extremely friendly and very helpful. My second time to play the course while on vacation this week. Well worth the 90 minute drive to let my son and daughter see and play the course. Hope to play it again next year on vacation.

First time playing Riverside

Loved the course. Played along with my son and daughter. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire day. Pace of play was a bit slow as there was a tournament playing at the same time we were there. However, it did not significantly detract from our play.

I certainly recommend this course for any level player. It is mainly flat but has quite a bit of water that comes into play and some really interesting par 3 holes.

We live almost 2 hours from the course, otherwise I would try to play there frequently. I’m 74 years old and had no trouble getting around the course. By the way, the River view from the back deck of the clubhouse is awesome.

Very good experience

We have thought for years that we wanted to play Riverside but had never made the trip from Ashland, Ky to Mason, WV. — nearly a two-hour trip. So glad we finally made it there. I played with my son and daughter and we had a wonderful time, even with a typical Saturday crowd and a tournament on the course.

The course is right on the Ohio River, with beautiful scenery and a number of water holes on the course. Even the drive along the River to get to the course was enjoyable. We’ll return, we had a great time, and played well. Thanks to the friendly and accommodating staff.

Beautiful scenic views every where.

The course was very fair, yet challenging at the same time. The greens were really fast. If you miss the green, the mounds around the greens made for some tricky chip shots. We played late in the afternoon and was able to play as a twosome in less than 3 hours.

Overall, a great experience with the beauty of the New River being a special highlight. Look forward to playing this course again.

Fun course to play.

The course was in very good condition. The greens were a little slow, but very true. The staff was very friendly. 10 & 17 were very neat as your drives were across the Big Sandy River, and you then drove across a swinging bridge. Only negatives are 2-3 holes where the fairways are too close together, need to stay aware on these holes.

Beautiful scenic course

The course is challenging in that it requires you to hit to certain areas, stray shots are costly. The course was in pristine condition, greens were quick but very true. Pace of play was excellent as the course is rarely crowded. Even if you feel the course is too difficult for you, you should play it at least once, just to see the beauty of nature. Several deer and wild turkey on the course as well.

Nice Sunday afternoon golf

The course was in very good condition, except that the greens were much slower than normal. Weather was excellent, although a little windy. :Began play approx 2pm, finished approx 5pm -- good pace of play considering there were a fair number of players on the course. Fairways were solid and well cut -- amazing considering the amount of rain received earlier in the week, Carts were 90-degree rule.

Challenging round of golf, good test.

The course was in excellent condition but challenging as result of some tough pin positions and fast greens. The course was soft due to overnight rain but played fair. Yardage markings could have been better but yardage booklets provided at pro shop helped. Excellent practice range, putting green, chipping green. Many, many sand traps throughout the course -- some too wet due to the rains.

Fun day of golf. Interesting layout.

Truly enjoyed this round of golf. First time to play the course but certainly plan to return in the future. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Additionally, all other holders I spoke with on the course were extremely friendly. My only negatives were that there were limited cart paths and some of the tees took a little searching to find. Additionally, the greens had recently been aerated and were tough to putt -- expect they are normally lightning quick. Lastly, they need better yardage markers. I strongly recommend this course if you have never played it before. The Golfnow hot deal rate of $21.00 was great.

Wonderful golfing experience, spectacular bargain.

The course was in very good condition. The greens are large, undulating, and fast. The fairways were wide and smooth. Pace of play was excellent except for one terribly
slow foursome that would not let anyone play through (went around and came back). No driving range but all other facilities were very nice.

A challenging, enjoyable round of golf. One of the best courses in the area.

The course was in excellent condition even following a strong thunderstorm shortly before our arrival. The greens were a little soft and slow due to the rainstorm, but in great condition otherwise. Pace of play was good until the last four holes when we got behind a very slow foursome. The staff was very friendly upon arrival. The $18 weekend Hot Deal was a great deal. Would recommend this course to all.

The course is setup for many different skill levels with five sets of tees ranging from very short to very long.

The course was in very good condition except that the greens were a bit hard, difficult to get the shots to stop. Course staff wqas very accommodating as we got stuck in a large traffic jam on the Interstate and delayed almost as hour -- they held our tee time and still honored the "Hot Deal" rate. The electric carts, with GPS, were great.

Considering the course had a torrential rainstorm 2 days prior, it was in good condition and played very fair.

Have played this course several times over the years and enjoy the course with the exception of a couple holes that I simply don't care for. The back nine does have a par 6 hole, which is unique to the area. Front nine is a somewhat tight par 34. The back is a par 37. Greens were in pretty good shape and medium fast. Enjoyable round played 18 holes in about 2 hours, playing as a single.

Excellent layout. Very good condition.

Play was extremely slow as we arrived and had a tee time following 20 groups playing a 27-hole Calcutta. The starter initially stated we did not have a tee time but then realized we had booked online and informed us we would get off but may be 10-15 minutes late. We were about 35 minutes late getting to tee off. The starter informed us the last group in the Calcutta would be very slow - he certainly was right - 2hrs, 45 mins for the first nine. The bad part was the group had two open holes in front of them but we were not permitted to play through.. The second nine was somewhat faster but still way too slow. When we said something to the starter between nines, the response was simply that he warned us and there was nothing he could do about it. Plan to play the same course tomorrow afternoon, truly hope for faster play. Love the course but disappointed with the slow play - really tough in the afternoon heat.

Some interesting holes.

Course was in pretty good shape although the rough was a little high, which slowed play. Good course for the money. Would play again.

Open, forgiving fairways but still a good test of golf.

Very enjoyable round of golf with a good friend I not played with for several years. iGolf phone app was very helpful in determining yardages for a course I had not played in over 10 years. Pace of play was very reasonable for a busy morning. Excellent deal on the costs using GolfNow -- $17 for 18 holes (cart included). Will look at this again the next trip to Florida.
