Great improvement
I'd like to congratulate Richard and crew at The River Golf. They have transformed the course this year. As with many other courses in the area they lost a lot of their greens but they work hard all summer long and they are excellent. Rough is very thick and a challenge. There is some ongoing and needed work on some of the tee boxes but this course has improved beyond my expectations.
Great course.
Great course to play will challenge your skill good value for the money course in good shape.
Great Day
What a great day to play golf. Got there and was greeted with a friendly face like always. They are really making this course better every time we go out there. The greens that they have been working on really look great. Thanks for your hard work looking good. I'm looking forward to my next round.
Improvements have been made to the course
Played here quite a bit in the past the course was quite a mess. What I appreciate they really took care of their greens. The greens are in nice shape. The staff is friendly. Now that they have the greens taken care of, need to work on the tee boxes. Good value for the money whether on a hot deal of not. Probably deserve 3 stars but they are successfully trying to make the course better so they get 4 stars.
River Golf - Louisburg
The course was in pretty good shape. There was 1 temporary green but the other 17 were quite good. I am thinking the course must be Bermuda greens since they are surviving in this long stretch of heat and no rain. The rough is quite deep since they are letting it grow due to lack of rain. I would do the same too.
NOT MUCH TO SHOUT ABOUT
understanding the long, very hot summer months and the toll weather like that takes on golf courses in this region, I didn't find much to rave about at this course. the condition of the course was marginal at best and the grounds crew seems to have simply allowed the summer to take its toll on the fairways and rough. for the price, however, there's not much room for complaints. I got what I paid for. pace of play was excellent however, as I had the course to myself given the time of day, weather and day of the week. I won't be making the journey to play this course again though. it is way off the beaten path for a reason.
Can't Beat The RIVER
I have been playing here for years. I find the course a challenge because the front 9 is much different from the back 9. New greens are starting to come in and overall the curse looks good. Where can you find this level of golf for $20 with a cart. Staff there are always helpful and friendly!
Bunkers Need Help
Not sure what is going on with this course, the greens were excellent, but the bunkers were in dire need of some serious attention...
Got what I paid for
A couple of yahoos in front of me that hacked it around made the round twice as slow as it should have been which drove me crazy. Course has potential yet obviously no budget. Every bunker is unplayable. Tees in poor shape. Worth $10 ($13.59 with GN blood $) but not much more
Nice layout
First time playing and I was impressed. The fairways were in great shape and the greens ran true. Although there was some rough spots along the edge of a few greens. The sand traps are terrible and need serious work, very little sand, mostly clay and dirt. Still I will be playing this course regularly from now on especially with the Golf Now hot deals.
Nice Course for money but far to travel from Durham NC
I loved the Course, the layouts was very good, lots of doglegs making it very challenging, few Water/Creek Hazards to work with. Overall I would give it an 90% , Staff was very nice today and all. The greens is torcher though in getting onto green to putt, very steep hills for someone has health difficulties. Nice mini snack bar, and club house seemed to be well placed with equipment sales and all.
They should have more water coolers on front 9 I only found 1 back 9 there were 3 for as hot as it was today
Fun Track
Course is way out in the country.
Tee boxes need a lot of work. Not very level and lacking any grass in some places.
Staff is friendly and overall the course is in good shape after the tee boxes. Very interesting layout.
Fun to play and would play here again.
Great Course for the $
This golf course is great for players looking to have fun at a cheap cost. The greens were well kept and the pace of play was excellent. I give this course two thumbs up!
Nice Layout.. This course needs attention
This could be a super course, however, its in disrepair. The staff really tries to overcome this and the Layout is really quite nice.. We did enjoy playing here as they had some very competitive rates. I hope they get some Money to put into this place, the staff and course deserve it
Open fairways
With good club selection and a straight drive a fairly easy course yet a joy to play. Will play again for sure.
Great for the cost
Bunkers and tee boxes need some attention, but no complaints for a $15 round!
Great Fun
Had to wait for frost but pro shop was a friendly place to hang. Good conversations with members and pro. Great tips. Wished I could execute them.
Every hole had character and something different. Some rough conditions in parts of fairway and on greens. Just roll the ball and enjoy the peace and quiet. great value.Front and back nine like two different courses. Short, narrow and small greens on front. Wider and longer on the back.
Great day for Golf
Even with the recent rains the course was in excellent condition.
Course showing great improvement
This course has always been a great value course, as a friend and I played for just $11!! We've played there every once in a while for several years, and the course has shown consistent improvement almost every time we play. The quality of the tee boxes could still use some work, but the fairways are lush and a little spongy, and the greens, that once were in desperate need of repair, have filled in pretty well, and usually stay fairly consistent throughout a round. For the value, this course is never a bad place to play!
River
Decent course need some work. This is the second time I have played there and the greens were a little better this time.
Who cared about " smiles". Was the course in decent shape is all most folks care about. Generly, when you tell them you signed up for a he time on gf now, they rarely smile.
