I'm no golfer by any means, and i have only ever been to a handful of courses in my life. But as far as courses go its very pretty and has some fun challenging holes.

Great 9 hole course including one of the longest par 5s I have ever played. Nice scenery with just enough challenge. Roughs are cut short enough you won't lose too many balls. Very nice carts at an affordable rate. Driving range and huge practice green are also very nice and well maintained. My favorite place to golf in this area.

Golfed River Ridge for the first time on Memorial Day. Staff was very friendly and the course is in great shape. One of the best 9 hole courses I've golfed on this year!

The older man in the clubhouse with lots of hair was incredibly rude and unbelievably slow. He made our experience much less enjoyable than it could’ve been.

4/5

Very well manicured course. Tough... but not "lose a bunch of balls tough". Plays very long on some holes... but there are a couple par 4s that you'll try to drive as well.
