Tough course tough cart path

I think this is privately owned. I like the challanging layout with really difficult topology. The cary paths are in need of replacing which make the steep up and down travel quite risky. I’ve been playing here now for about 6 months and the fees are quite reasonable using GolfNow app. Will definitely continue to play here.

Really fun course with even more potential

This course was a lot of fun. Once they fix the cart path in some area's and get the fairways in better shape it will definitely be better. Im definitely going back for the challenge and the scenery. The staff was also very polite and helpful. See you guys soon.

Very challenging

Yes the fairways, carts and carts paths could use a little love. Greens were perfect and the track is very challenging and really fun to play. Loved it so much I went around 2x. I’ll be back. Easy to look past a couple of things for very low price golf. They could help themselves a lot by providing sand for the divots.

Wet weather
Used cart

River Downs

Cart paths need alot of work and with quick changes in elevation can be very dangerous indeed. Tee boxes are mostly chewed up.
However
Greens are in good condition.
Most fairways are decent.
Tee Boxes and cart paths need immediate help.
