Riverwood Golf Club
Played On 10/02/2020Nice course but loud, polluting, inferior, gas carts are a disappointment
While Riverwood is a good looking course, it is very unfortunate that the course uses only noisy, polluting, smelly, gas golf carts for guest transportation around the course. Do golfers enjoy announcing their arrival at every tee and green as they approach with the loud, revving engines?
It is surprising an 'award-winning' course would not provide guests with first class, quiet, clean, electric carts. Apparently, ownership is not interested in creating a more upscale, comfortable, and acceptable means of transport for guest golfers. Following one of those gas golf carts is like following a garbage truck, while following an electric cart is like following a Tesla. Needless to say, your game and comfort are improved with electric carts.
Not only does the noise contribute to players having to listen to that racket all day, but the exhaust of these 75 gas carts can harm the local environment, especially that of the adjacent wildlife, river preserve. And if you are following one of these gas carts, you will be inhaling gas exhaust all day.
While you may enjoy playing the course, you will need to be prepared to use loud, inferior, gas golf carts all day. If all 75 gas carts are running, the revving noise is nearly constant throughout the course. It is similar to listening to a compressor running all day.
This is the only course in the area that uses loud, polluting, gas carts, so there are certainly other options if you want a quieter, more comfortable, and relaxing day at the golf course.

I find it interesting that no one has commented on the noisy, dirty, smelly, gas golf carts used at Riverwood. You would think an 'award-winning' course would have the capacity to provide guests with quiet, clean, electric carts. Apparently, ownership will not invest in the comfort of guest's course transportation.

Not only does the noise contribute to players having to listen to that racket all day, but the exhaust harms the local environment, especially that of the adjacent river preserve. While you may enjoy playing the course, it is unlikely you will enjoy the loud, obnoxious, gas golf carts you will have to ride. It is unfortunate that guests must use noisy, polluting carts.
