I’m rounding up to a 5-star, but played the Vineyards course, and overall, I would say it was in good shape. Most fairways were in green and manicured, bunkers were pretty barren, and greens may have been a little shaggy, but not patchy or any...
thing like that. Tee boxes were okay, and I would play here again. $50 for early morning walking.

Honestly, this course deserves a lower rating than 4 stars. It would rate close to 2 stars if you go just based on how terrible the course is maintained.
Vineyard course:
On all holes with the exception of hole 13, there are NO ALIVE/GREEN GR...
ASS IN THE FAIRWAYS. That being said, the fairways are flat and easy to hit from despite this shortfall. The upside is that your shots go further because the fairways are dry, so EGO BOOST!! ? :)
The tee boxes… with the exception of the last holes and a couple others on the course, they all use DEAD grass. They don’t bother to use actual tee markers - they are PAINTED ROCKS. The rocks don’t bother me as much - I think it’s pretty inventive. Additionally, from blue tees some tee boxes are in very inconvenient places, but it is not a problem if you’re playing whites.
Also, did I mention that the signs that show the hole numbers are sometimes wrong? This isn’t a big deal as it doesn’t make you get lost.
The bunkers I played in were actually in good shape, so not complaints there. REAL SAND!!! :)
Now, the only part about this course that was in decent condition were the putting greens and fringe. It is the ONLY part of the course consistently watered so that it is GREEN. However, greens are pretty slow…
Theoretically, if you were playing from 25 yards, you would be playing the only part of the course properly maintained…
Now, the reason why I rate this place 4 stars is because the staff is EXTREMELY FRIENDLY. The starter who was working Sunday 7/28 was extremely helpful in giving us a warning that the gates would be closing close to the time sun sets and kept the pace of play decent. The person in pro shop was also nice. So, Staff is 5/5.
Also, the last hole is an ISLAND GREEN!! Really cool and rare for a public golf course!
Overall it’s a tough course because of wind as well, affects your shots a lot. I also like the layout too - challenging. Also, it’s cooler here in the summer. If the grass were in better condition, this course would be one of the better public courses in the area.

River Ridge Vineyards course was everything we expected based on what we paid. The weather was Perfect, the staff was the best and we really enjoyed the day!!

We were lucky enough to enjoy both courses, but I was still embarrassed that the wrong sign on the 17th hole of the Vineyard course was not corrected. It's so funny and ridiculous.
The fairway and hole green management status was simple, but it...
is understandable compared to the low price. It was a beautiful course, but it is a pity to manage it.

6 hr Round! Painfully slow Golf. Pro shop won’t answer the phones. Greens are as long as the bushes.. bad. course has a great design, but is in terrible shape. Would never come back again, even if it were free.
