Pros:

# 4 is a cool hole as you have to either drive through a large grouping of pines or go around them to reach the basket.

nice park, no fees

good descriptive tee signs

very close to I-75

Cons:

Some walks to the next hole can be lengthy. Like 1/2 mile between holes, lengthy.

dirt tees (which is good and bad and good and bad in this case, as we all love having cement tees but not having them on this DGC as of yet gives hope that someone will re design this DGC in a better DGC).

Other Thoughts:

I realize that some DGC's can't be championship caliber because of a lot of variables. but this DGC in it's present state is shame cause the long walks betweens the holes were'nt nessesary and I hope some local club can redo the current layout to make the DGC more pleasurable than it is currently.

Your In for a hike 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 5, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

First four holes are great with good risk reward water holes.

Lots of ace runs

Cons:

short ,easy holes


After four you walk a very long way to five then you have to walk just as far for 5,6,7,8,9 with big gaps between each hole which destroys the flow of the course .

Other Thoughts:

Course needs redesigned some how but theres not much to work with .

I will never play this course again with riverbend being just done the road .
