River Downs Golfers' Club

Very good conditions and an excellent layout. Great value.

Best stress test you’ll ever get for your heart. Never again. Sorry but the weak at heart would be lucky to finish all 18 holes. The cart paths, for which there are many will destroy your back.

I play here a few times a month and it's always a challenging course. Tremendous value right now,
The conditions have improved greatly. I believe they have bermuda grass fairways that are more common in the south, and it seems to take a while until the conditions are this good. Now is the time to get out there and play! I'm a 14 handicap and played some of my best golf of the year but shot 85. Three holes killed me. Trouble everywhere. Greens are in mint conditions, albeit slower than most. They putt true. Tee boxes and sand could be better.

Challenging layout with many memorable holes. Great value and super nice people. Course needs some maintenance and upkeep but is still very playable. Another fun round at RD!

I had a great round at River Downs. The course is quite hilly so come prepared!

The course and the greens were in nice condition, but the cart paths are in dire need of repair.

All in all, great day.

I would come back again.

Greens are good but slow. Some fairways and tee boxes are in poor shape, while others are fine. Course layout is amazing and tough. I enjoy a quick round here at least once a month. It's getting better as we get to summer.

This course is trash. Do not play here. Most of the fairways and greens are dirt with some unmown weeds. It is a shame too because the course layout is really interesting.

I’ve played this course around 10 times the last couple years. Sadly the 2 times I played in the late winter/early spring the course was in better shape. Charging full price for greens that were half aerated and on some holes there were sand filled divots as if someone hit a wedge off the green, and the green on 17 had a square foot cut out of it filled with straw, tee box’s that we either mostly dirt or too thick of grass. Charging full summer rates for these conditions was a slap in the face since I know how much potential this course has.

Fairways are in very rough shape, the cart paths will beat you up! Very rough. I played ok though and had a great time with my friends and son.

River Downs is my favorite course to "see how my game is progressing". It is a very challenging, hilly course with a guarantee for a breeze. The White tees consistantly test the precision of your tee shots.

The clubhouse is updated and gorgeous.

The staff is amazing and they just rolled out new golf carts. The course condition is improving each time we play and they are committed to turning the course into one of the better in the area.

The price beats most others in the area and you can see the money put back into the course.

Currently, this is not a course that will wow you with conditions but it is a beautiful, challenging layout. Supporting this course is an easy decision. Everytime we come back, something is better than it was last time.

Arrived 15 mins before tee time. Informed that one other golfer booking with a "Hot Deal" from GolfNow would be joining me. Which is perfectly fine and expected. However I would not get the Cart Key until the other person arrived. Very Weird. First time that has ever happen in my 7 plus years as a Golfnow Plus member. The guy at the pro shop said I could load up my clubs in the cart if I wish. Really ? what is the point? Give me the keys I am HERE. If you aren't handing me the keys why would I load up. I lingered until my exact tee-time ( the other golfer was a non-show at that time) , before I was given the keys at the exact tee-time. . I teed up 8 minutes later., not in the right frame of mind.to start a round.
The no-show was later driven out to where I was on the 2nd hole by the same guy. There was an apparent dissatisfying escalated conversation between them as well , I will not comment on my conclusion and what happened, as I did not witness the entire altercation beforehand, but I agree with the upset golfer that this guy treated "GolfNow" bookers as 2nd class golfers. Incidentally this guy at Rivers Down claimed to be the owner. I will hand it to the owner, he did offer a refund to the other upset golfer. There is more to this, but enough of that BS.
The greens are in pretty good shape, not bad at all. Better than a few other courses in the area.
The old sand bunkers from times-past, need TLC and reseeding. Very Bad. The tee box and fairway grass is still in hibernation stage , so the course can't be judged too harshly just coming off winter. This is not a walking course due to the elevation , terrain and layout. Only one scary short par 4 that has a high-potential of hitting a house if you are a right-handed slicer off the tee-box . ( swinging out to in) .. In the past I have played here 2 or 3 times a year ( I even bought a golf-shirt at one time & still have it) and not always booking thru GolfNow because I have other friends play and the tee-time is more important. than the price.
For now, I will sleep on this place for awhile. Did not enjoy having issues before the start of my round . Can't say if it affected my play from the start, as I had a mix of good/bad shoots,. But before the round was over I found my grove. Played in 3 hours by myself, skipping a few holes to get around bottleneck hackers, but playing 2 balls on Par 3s to make up for the skipped holes. Overall a good place to practice shots that require something other than grip-it and rip-it. Don't think this course will be what it was 30 year ago again when building lots were in the selling stage.
I looked then, but bought and built a house elsewhere. Leave it at that.

Course condition was rough at best. Nice club house and friendly staff, but the course needs work. There was more "grass" in some of the bunkers then there was on the fairways. I know that it's the beginning of the season but was charged as if it was peak.

Extensive parts of the cart path require significant improvement. Can't remember the holes but many holes cart paths are so steep and hilly and they are very slippery especially when it's wet. Even during a dry day, the cart wheels would just spin smoking for several seconds trying to move upward. I think the cart would slide down if the path were wet a little. They need to resurface and groove those hilly cart path to prevent any accidents. Not recommended especially during wet season.

River Downs is a challenging course. Young lady at desk was friendly when checking us in. Great deal with Hot Deal!! Golf carts actually have power!!! Course fun challenging and frustrating ( lost couple golf balls). Would recommend to others. Thanks!!!
