I LOVE GOLF, when I pay ANY amount @ other courses I always look for reasons to come back. They make it hard to find the reasons, but I return, mostly because they are the closest course. Unfortunately, at Riverview, they make me feel UNWELCOME!!!! It's just an average 9 hole course, with average upkeep, but they treat it as if they were protecting a PGA Masters course from the public players who want to step on their grass.
The "ONLY" reason I keep coming back is do to the fact I live right down the street. They don't even take the care of the course over-ALL as they should!!!
Despite the negatives, I really DO like this course. I guess I have mixed emotions. It's their attitude that's the turn off. I wish they had SOME kind of insintive for people to look 4-ward to playing and feeling welcome and appreciated!!!! Like a raffle for free balls on the range, or a free round.....something along the lines of a members card, with every 5-10 rounds played recieve a free round!!!! I passed the ranger the other day stopping a 4-some NO YOUNGER than 70 years old to check if they had they're proof of purchase!!! W-T-H is that???
All-in-All, I kind of like this course....MAINLY for the convenience!!!! When I move just 5 miles away, you better bet your ass I will NOT return unless they make some changes with how they run things!!!!! Thanks for your time!!!
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level
