Great staff, poor pace of play

I saw a bunch of reviews about how bad the pace of place is. I thought to myself, “how true could this all actually be—what are the odds it’ll be that slow when I play??” Well, apparently the reviews were there for a reason. Pace was just too slow to really develop any rhythm which was super disappointing. Otherwise, good staff and (the guy who I think is) the manager is an outstanding guy and genuinely cares about the course and his customers.

Course is in rough shape

Tee boxes were terrible, greens were pretty rough, and fairways were average at best.

Golf Outing

Very slow pace, probably because of the other 2 people we played with. Club house was closed by 5:30 but person inside office wouldn’t let us in to use bathroom

We saw deer on course. Very cool.
Beverage cart and showed up on hole 15. We were very thirsty by then.

Flooding

This course floods really bad. Looks nice and green and fun to play if it’s dry but when I played it was flooded in June.

Course needs major work!

I played Riverside while visiting Austin and the course was in very bad shape. I booked for 18 and left after 9 holes because the course was in such bad shape. The staff was very nice but the course needs major work. The fairways had water puddles, mud and weeds on almost every hole and the greens were in terrible shape.

Fun course

Course is in fairly good shape, and the pace of play was good. Some greens better than other, but bunkers make it a good challenge on all approach shots. Really enjoyed playing it and not crazy difficult.

Decent course.

Decent. A little rough conditions. Maybe it's the start of the season and the upkeep hasn't really started yet. Have had a lot of water in the area so that may be the reason. Plenty potential.

Not worth the money

Not worth the fees they are charging for the course conditions. The layout of the course is also especially poor.
