Course layout okay. Greens were ridiculously soft and slow. Really unusual process by starters. If you want to warm up on the range or putting green count on carrying your bag . Not a bad experience but would choose not to play the course again

Every Palmer course I have ever played has been a good experience. And Rivers Edge keeps that streak alive. Beautiful layout bordering Shalotte River. Spend the $5 for the yardage book if first time playing. A handful of blind tee shots with some surprises. A couple, what I thought, well struck drives wound up in the marsh land as the fairways had taken a turn I had not anticipated. I was too cheap to drop the $5 but paid for it with a couple lost balls !

Great layout but 9th and 18th holes especially stand out in my memory. Greens had recently been aerated so greens fees were discounted, but if they had not told me I probably would not have noticed. A couple tee boxes could use some fresh sod but otherwise course in really good shape. Attentive staff and beverage cart comes by multiple times throughout the round. Lots of water coolers on the course. 5 stars from me

Pace of play was fast. Started on back 9 and generally played at our own pace without pushing group ahead or getting pushed by group behind. 2nd nine was wide open and finished in 3-1/2 hours. Greens were in good shape but had not been mowed. Greens were fairway length grass and slow as you might imagine. Fairways and tee boxes were pretty bare. Design and hole layout was pretty haphazard. No driving range or starter to get people off at scheduled time. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Not expensive but would rather spend a few more $'s and play at some other courses in Triad area.

Beautiful Thursday afternoon. In spite of all the rain in NC the course was in very good shape. Great Pete Dye layout. Can recommend with confidence.

No starter on a Saturday morning, so first tee significantly backed up. Finally teed off about 25 minutes after booked tee time. Rains this summer have been particularly tough on this course. A lot of standing water and greens have taken a beating. Once it dries out and greens recover I would consider playing again. And hoping they put a starter in place for weekend play.

Not long, but laid out to make for some interesting challenges. Add in a very windy day and it made for a great round.
