We played this course last week. I'm a big fan of Valleybrook CC. Both courses are owned by Jaws and give discounts for law enforcement, so we decided to try Riverwinds also.
Weather was terrible, but we were anxious to get some golf in. It was cloudy and slightly over freezing. For starters, I understand it was a lousy weather day, but someone could've atleast put the pins in the holes, and not just lying on the green. secondly, I have NEVER seen so much goose poop in my life. You couldn't even putt. Since the weather was so bad, we were literally the only golfers on the course. One of our guys is just starting, so we were taking the opportunity of having the course to ourselves to trying to help him get the hang of the game. Needless to say it took almost 3 hours to finish the front 9.
We went to the clubhouse to warm up and they tried to charge us for an additional round. When we tried to explain, we were basically treated like liars. The hag manager even had the ranger tail us the entire back nine to make sure we weren't trying to get over on her.
We were the ONLY business for the day, and were being treated like criminals. I never left a course with such a bad taste in my mouth. I wouldn't go back to that course to play free for life.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: Better courses for less nearby, Worse than average course for the area
None worth mentioning
Condition of Course, Layout, Price, Ambiance, Pace of Play, Staff, Clubhouse, Food/Bar Facilities , Pro Shop
