This is a very interesting layout. Feels like you're on a private safari as you move through the front nine. Tree lined and lush. Back nine opens up a little with longer holes. In spite of the fact that we had a lot of rain the night before, the course was very playable, and the greens rolled very true.

Didn't know what to expect since this is my first time here.
Not as long as the other Bella Vista courses, but if you don't put the ball in the proper places you pay dearly. Greens were nice. There is pretty scenery to look at. I really enjoyed myself.

Our 2nd time playing here. The course is really starting to fill in. Trees are leafy now giving you a sense of privacy while playing. The greens were great, and we played pretty fast considering it was cart path only. I think that this course is a really fun layout.

Our first time at this course. Really fun and playable track. Even though they had punched the greens the day before we played, they were definitely puttable and ran very true. The courses in this area are in the midst of coming out of dormancy. That being said, this course was in very good shape. Windy conditions probably was the reason we were the only golfers on the back 9 which made for a sub 4 hour round.
It was a great day.

Because it was really windy there weren't many people out this afternoon. We played in 3.5 hours without trying. The greens were really good, and we had a really good time. The staff we encountered were very nice.
A great day.

Short executive course. Good greens. You have to hit it into the right spots to score. I had fun playing this course and it's good practice for hitting longer irons off the tee.

This is a fun 9 hole track. We played the white tees first, then played from the blue tees on the second 9. The distance difference was enough to make it seem like a different course. Greens we're great, and rolled very true.
Pace of play was fast. A fun day.

We played a late afternoon round. greens were really good. (It would be nice if more people would fix ball marks) course was in good shape. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. Pace of play was great the front 9, really slowed up on the back. We still finished our round in plenty of light. I like the multiple tees to play from. A good time.

The other two some that my wife and I were supposed to play with didn't show. We still played in just over 4 hours. Really good considering that we followed 3 foursome throughout the back nine. This facility 9 times out of 10 flows very well. My compliments to the staff members that make this possible. This is a very challenging track.. We had an awesome day.

I've played here many times. The greens are huge, which can make for a bad putting day if you hit your approach shots on the wrong side of the greens. They had punched at the beginning of the month, so the greens were a little slow, but they rolled true. The starter made us wait until the group in front of us was actually putting before we could tee off. This made the pacing much better. I'm glad that they did this.
Overall, a fun day

I always enjoy playing here. Challenging layout. This was my first time playing the blue tees, much harder. They had recently punched the greens, and with the warm weather we had, they got pretty slow late in the day. It happens. With warmer weather on the way, this will be in great shape in a month.
Great Day.

I've played this course for many years. Even though it is an executive course, it's always fun. Usually plays fast, and they keep it in good condition. Especially the greens. Nice people, good bar, for after your round.

Beautiful layout. The course is in excellent shape. We had a great day.

We always have fun here. Wide generous fairways, fast greens. Has a real throw back feel to it. They said it would be slow, but really wasn't.

We've played here often lately. A great track, with many challenging holes. Considering that they punched the greens recently, they rolled true with consistent pace.
As always, they do a great job of keeping things moving. Played in just over 4 hours.

Looks like there might have been some flooding here, because the fairways were pretty thin. In times of drought, like now, this can make it more difficult to repair the damage. With sod installed in various fairways, it's evidence of course supervisor trying to upgrade the conditions. Great layout, with plenty of length. Great set of par 3s. Friendly and helpful staff.

Great golf course. Pace of play was very good. Course was in good shape, considering drought conditions.
Would gladly play this track again.
Driving range could use a little love.

This course is always a fun day. It's a difficult layout with many challenges. Beautiful scenery. Nice people who work there. Nice driving range.

We had a good round today at River Lakes. It's a fun track, with lots of teeing options. Of course it is Winter time in So Cal, which means dormant grass, and splotchy fairways. Greens were okay. The regular players there could do a better job of fixing ball marks on the greens, but we did have a good day today.

Every time I've played this course on a weekend, I'm always impressed with the pacing here. Playing in 4.5 hours on a Saturday afternoon, is almost unheard of in L A. We had a great round and great day.
