We were disappointed with River Wilderness course. We had 3 foursomes and had booked on TeeOff at $48 plus tax. The proshop wanted to have only one foursome at that price and charge $65 for the other 2 foursomes. They finally agreed to give the correctly booked price. Fairways were extremely short grass and sparse grass in areas. Hard to hit approach shots off of tight lies in the middle of the fairways. Greens were really fast. It was decent but the group doesn’t want to return till improvements are made.

I’ve played this course 2/3 times per year for the last 5 years. It’s never been in better condition from tee to green than yesterday’s round. A beautiful sunny day with low humidity. I usually break 90 here but finished on 90 yesterday. Nevertheless it was a great day for golf. I recommend Bent Tree!

It was a beautiful sunny day but pretty windy at times. Highlands is a very nice course. The layout is challenging at times as I’m not a long hitter. The fairways were well kept and the greens were fast. Some par 5’s are quite long. The only negative was a 4 1/2 + hr round due to 4 ( hundred plus) players in front of us that we had to push the entire time, pulling up to their tees and waiting on their tee shots ( as well as their next 6,7,8 shots. One ranger finally came and warned them to speed up but that was no help at all. Rangers need to do their job and keep the playing times to around 4 hours!!

A cooler day was welcome and a fantastic day for golf. The tee boxes, fairways and greens were in terrific shape. The worst part is the cartpaths which is roug, uneven and in need of repairs and sections replaced. Otherwise I recommend this course!

It was a beautiful sunny day for golf but I played horribly. I can’t blame the course as it was much improved from the last two times I played there. The grass at Tees, greens and fairways was all better cared for than previously. It’s a good layout and I recommend it.

It the best time to be playing this course as they’re repairing a couple of greens on each nine. Four temporary greens is a downer. In addition some of the other greens were not in great shape and were very slow. It took us 2:15 to play the front as it was very slow in front of us. We asked to replay the front nine again as there were fewer people teeing off in The afternoon. They allowed us to reply the front and we finished it in 1 1/2 hours! They said their greens would be finished Oct 1st.

I’ve played this course maybe 6/7 times over the past 4 yrs and this was the poorest condition it’s been in. The greens were slow and beat up. Very disappointing. The rough needed mowing as we lost a few balls in the rough not far from the fairway. The fairways themselves were fine and the tee boxes as well. I like the course layout but I may not be back unless I hear the greens have been improved. Thanks

It was warm sunny day and a good day for golf. The course tees and fairways were in great shape but the greens were slow and full of lines and ridges. I assume they had recently been aerated. Besides the greens the course was in fine condition and I recommend it.

The day was warm and sunny but not suffocatingly hot. Tees and fairways were in good condition but greens were bad and need lots of attention. A ton of bare and brown spots. I like the layout and hope they get their greens in better shape. Staff was friendly.played about average 87.

It was a beautiful day and perfect for golf, though I played poorly. Course is a little dry and a few bare areas but was still in good shape. Great layout and priced reasonably. Highly recommend!

Partly cloudy and windy yesterday. The course was fine and I like playing here. Yesterday was extremely slow and our foursome likes to play ready golf. We had delays on every tee and approach shot. Round was probably 4hrs, 40mins! Way too long. Otherwise I recommend this course.

The course (driving range, tee boxes and fairways were in great shape and rough was acceptable) the greens were covered in sand so the EIGHT of us decided to have a 2-putt max. The condition of the greens sort of ruined an otherwise nice course. Had we known the greens were practically unplayable, we would have chosen another venue.

Beautiful day and a beautiful course. Tee to green were in great shape. The greens were very fast and that made scoring difficult. Overall a very nice layout and I recommend this course!

I always enjoy this course and yesterday was another gorgeous day. I had a good round for me (80). Greens were a little too slow but consistent & the course fairways and tee areas were in good shape. I look forward to playing again!

I had played this course 3/4 times in the past but not in the last 8 months. Wow, it is in very poor shape. The tee boxes were beat up and raggedy. The fairways had large areas of dirt and sand with fairway grass in short supply. The greens on the front nine had recently been worked on and were a little bumpy and slow but the back nine greens were pretty nice. It’s too bad it’s not being maintained as the staff was friendly, and the layout is fine. The green fee was reasonable, BUT I won’t return until I see reviews that the course has changed directions and is being maintained well.
