A Review Of Riverview For You 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 5, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

+ The course is set within a peaceful and breezy community park mere yards away from the Delaware River!
+ Wide open spaces to test how far you can deliver.
+ Being so close to the Delaware, water features abound.
+ There are nine sturdy baskets found here, but...

Cons:

- ...They are not numbered (unless I'm blind).
- There's no navigation aid of any kind.
- What passes for tees are just flimsy flags.
- It's mostly fields here. (No need for whole bags).
- There isn't even signage at the tees or the pins.
- And no info board to show where it begins.

Other Thoughts:

Please excuse this review rhyme. This will be the first and last time.
Reviewing by my normal tale seemed so boring and too stale.
It was all stuff you've read before, and when I write I hate to bore.
I figured that a poem's the thing to make this much more interesting.
So I don't mind your 'thumbsdown' vote if you disapprove of what I wrote.
That said, I hope you still will read about Riverview in Pennsville.
Riverview, I hate say, didn't rub me the right way.
You get no clues for where you are. Where do I throw, and what's the par?
I had no choice but to divine my own path through holes one to nine.
The grounds are fair. The view is cool.
This course I declare a distance school.
It's just the place to learn to throw. Or come here just to take it slow. Some streams and ponds will add a thrill. (Good thing, too: little else will.) With so few trees, throw full power. You'll be done in half an hour.
Still, nothing here invigorates, jazzes-up or stimulates.
It's weird to say the view's the best part. You probably figured that from the start.
I played on a heavy foggy night. It looked like the end of the world was in sight!
For me, the highlight wasn't droppings from ducks. On the ground in a field I found six bucks!
In closing, Riverview is open and easy. I imagine, on clear days, it gets chilly and breezy. Come here if you're new or just want some birds. Otherwise, steer clear! (That concludes my words.)

meh 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 13, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

It is located in a beautiful park, and if not on a budget the Riverview Inn has pretty good food, although I prefer Hudock's (foot long hotdogs) on my way into town. I guess a pro would be it is the only course within about 30 minutes of here.

Cons:

Tees are not easily identifiable, and eve finding worn grass spots is not an easy project. Baskets not numbered, to make the hole layout identifiable.

Other Thoughts:

I probably won't return anytime soon, which is a shame because it is 15 minutes from my in laws and it could have potential.

Where's the tee? 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 12, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Manageable distance with lots of open play. (I'm a beginner, and this course allowed be to focus on drives without having to constantly fish disks out of hazards. While there is a lot of water on the course, it didn't steal any discs.

Cons:

The thing that made this course really frustrating was the complete lack of signage. One sign acknowledging the benefactor turns out to be the general area where you're supposed to tee off. I only found two actual tees. (Cement blocks painted yellow, and near flush with the grass.) No posts to indicate where the next tee area was. The baskets themselves no longer had their numbers. (For some, when you went up to them, you could see the outline of where the number had been.)

Other Thoughts:

In fairness, I played the course out of season. For all I know it's much better kept up Spring-Fall.
