Very nice course. Horrible customer service.
Course is good but the bunkers are being neglected. The driving range does not have flags in place to establish yardage. When I inquired about the flags, I was told, after I started practicing, that I wasn't even allowed to be on the range. Apparently, there is a rule that you can only practice there if you are playing the course at that time. This was after paying $5 for the bag of practice balls. It's a shame because I have been golfing there for several years and now I will never go back.
Last year to play before they tore up for housing
This course is one of the best course to play in Columbus area. Greens, Bunkers and fairways are in perfect condition. Make you you come to play this year, next year this course will be gone forever.
Great Deal in its twilight season!
Course was in very good condition, considering this is (probably) its last year before being turned into a residential development
Pace of play was very good -- perhaps due to threatening weather.
A Shame
It is a real shame that this course will be going away after the 2014 season. Money talks I suppose, and this beautiful course will soon be the home to well.. more homes. Just what Dublin needs. Sigh.
Rude mower
The course was in good condition and the greens were fast. We were on one of the greens putting when someone driving a kubota tractor started mowing the grass within one foot of the green so we had to stop and wait on him because the grass was blowing right in our face. after putting out we moved to the next hole which was a pair three. The same tractor hurried over to mow the grass around that green and we had to wait 10 min for him to finish. It might seem small but it was annoying.
Play while you have the chance
I had an opportunity to play. I was amazed at the drainage. I course was in fantastic shape even though it rained buckets. Play while you have the chance. At the end of the summer...it's gone. Good track worth the $. Different tees to accommodate all players.
Really enjoyed Riviera
Great par par 4's and a couple good par 3's. Very solid golf course!!
Course was wet after heavy rain but was ok
Enjoyed the course and friendly staff. Long par 4s
Course in Excellent Condition.
Friendly staff and grounds crew. Course was in great shape. Staff was fixing divots on greens and fairways. Greens were smooth and fast! Bunkers were a little shallow on the sand but fair. Great course with 5 sets of tees for every level of golfer. Fairways are generous but trees will penalize a poor tee shot. Best value in town and would recommend playing for the low handicapper.
great value
Course wase in great shape and greens were fast. Had to wait on all the par 3's which was the only negative. Best value in Columbus.
Great course with tough greens.
Played on a Sunday afternoon after 2pm. We were paired up with another twosome who was friendly and understood the etiquette of the game.
Course layout is well done. There are a lot of trees in strategic places that can cause problems.
The greens are very difficult. You will want to keep your ball below the hole at all costs because the greens are very slick and tough to read. If you're above the hole at a long distance, it's a guaranteed three put unless you get lucky with your lag.
Only major issue was our golf cart died on the back nine and moved very slowly. We had to push the cart up the hill on 18 to get it back to the clubhouse.
Drinks are reasonably priced in the bar (Got a 7and7 at the turn for five dollars that was mixed well) and plenty of food and snacks available.
Excellent Greens
The course was in great shape. The greens were smooth and fast. No beverage coart out but we did tee off after 2pm.
Disappointing conditions
The course was in OK shape for the most part, but some pretty bad bunkers ruined what would have otherwise been a decent round for me. I know the course's future isn't very bright but this shows me they have already started not to care.
Way better than average course !
Interesting course. In very good condition for early season. Tough to make birdies.
Great staff from Pro Shop to Bar to Greens Keeping. Makes you feel like a member even though you are a guest.
Ask for the meatball sandwitch. It is the best.
Great course - greens are lightning QUICK!
Had a great day... except for FIVE 3-putts on the front 9. OUCH! Greens were so fast for so early in the season - our group had trouble adjusting. Course was in pristine shape! REALLY REALLY need some directional signs posted to get to some of the holes!!
Hidden Gem = Great discovery!
Somethings in golf go without reason or explanation. This is exactly how I felt while playing this course. The course was in amazing shape for April. The fairways and greens were in the best condition I have seen so far this year in the columbus ohio area. Yet I was 1 of only about 25 people on the course from 1130a.m. - 3:00 p.m. on a Monday with the temperature around 75 degrees. I'm not sure what the normal greens fee are but for 25 bucks on golfnow I couldn't pass up the opportunity to play this course. I hope that the lack of business isn't a sign of things to come, because it would be a shame to not have this course to play again. My only complaint if any is that the clubhouse and food area could use an update, it had a 70 ' s feel to it. BUT I was there to golf not hangout inside. So if you want to experience a course that use to be private, give this one a try. I think you will be pleasantly surprised in what you find.
To bad it will shut down soon.
Fairways & greens in very good shape. Traps well maintained. Watch out for the water, it will jump out & get ya if your not careful.
4 Hour Round
Sadly this course will be closing at the end of the year.
This is the best conditioned course on golf now in the Columbus area. The rough is thick the greens are fast and true and the fairways look untouched. If you can get here before it turns into someone's backyard.
Staff unsure of course conditions
I called the course in the morning to ask if they were pen for play( we had snow a few days earlier), they said "we have some frost and it should be gone by 11:30am. I booked a noon hot deal for noon. I started to the course and called prior to getting there to which they said " we have SNOW on the greens and should open monday or Tuesday " They should not have let golfnow book it on a closed course and they should KNOW the difference between snow and frost. Doubt I'll ever go back !
