Riverwood Golf Club - Deer Run/Riverview Course
Played On 05/15/2017Could be a great course
This course could be great. It is fairly challenging and keeps you on your toes. The overall condition of the course was not great. A lot of annual bluegrass in the fairways and the sand traps were pretty nasty. The greens were in horrible condition. They are bermuda greens I believe, and I would assume they over seed them during the winter. Something went wrong this year, as they have taken a serious beating. They are trying to fix them but some of them had so much sand on them that it was difficult to putt on them. The cart path was also in need of repair in several areas.
The staff was not very friendly - I admit that we screwed up and took a golf cart on the course when there was a posted sign to keep carts on the path on that hole - 100% my fault. Someone that worked there drove up very fast and moved our cart to the path and was very aggressive with us, even after we apologized. The situation could have been handled much better by simply telling us what we did wrong and asking us to pay attention and not do it again. No reason to be as aggressive as he was.
I really liked the course and would go back if they can get the greens in better shape.
