Great course and a good deal if you can find a hot deal.

This is really a great course, but it can be very expensive if you don't get a hot deal from Golf Now. However, you if you can get a great deal it is definitely worth checking out.

Has potential. Needs some maintenance

Had to wait 35 minutes to get a cart. It made tee time 10 minutes late. Extremely slow play. No ranger to monitor slow play. Took 5 hrs.

Good course, well maintained, fun challenge

Good layout, very good greens, well maintained. Classic older style parkland course. Pretty flat, but nice trees and well placed creeks, water hazards, grass bunkers and rough around the greens make it interesting. I'd recommend this a good value for a fun round of golf. Played on July 3rd, so play was a bit slow because of the holiday. I'll play again. This course was recently changed from private to semi private and is reportedly closing at the end of 2014. I hope they decide to keep it open. It's definitely one of the best conditioned public access courses around.

Straight foward course, in great condition

No tricked up holes, it's all right in front of you. Course played longer than stated yardage. Greens have some slopes but no goofy tiers and dead elephants. Beautiful club house, didn't check it out thought.

Late Afternoon Golf

The course, as always, was in great condition. These greens are some of the best around. On this afternoon we played the front nine twice, we were a twosome, so when we caught up to the groups in front of us we decided to play the front again. Pace of play was good, overall a great afternoon of golf.

Great layout and nothing cookie-cutter about this course

First time playing and I will definitely be back. Course requires you keep it in the fairway as both the rough and the accompanying trees can really make things difficult to make par. Worth the extra $10-15 bucks over other courses in the area that are more "affordable".

Rivera is a well maintained course. Greens are fast and sloped. Brings out every club in the bag.

Fast Greens but That's it!

Arrived a the course early only to wonder around trying to find the pro shop due a lack of signs. Once checked in I was rushed off the tee. The course itself was fairly vanilla however the greens are quite fast. This is due to all the greens sloping down to the fairways, if you are above the pin forget about par. Overall a decent day but there are better courses in the area.

Great golf course!!

Probably the best greens I have ever played on, and the whole course is in fantastic shape!
Its a shame this course is going away, its a challenging old-style country club, youre penalized by heavy rough for shots that miss the fairway, and rewarded by receptive greens that putt fast but true.
The staff is very friendly and helpful, we will definitely be back as much as we can.
Great value for the money!!!

Course conditions was immaculate!

Upon arrival, the course was not that inviting to new guests. The curb appeal was absolutely terrible. The staff(Pro Shop Attendant) was rude and disrespectful to non-members. Acted like there was a chip on his shoulder to the unfamiliar guests. Even though we reserved a tee time through Golfnow.com, he was unwilling to let us tee off at that time because there was a group of gentlemen(20 or so) about to tee off. We threathened to leave and ask for a full refund, so we was able to tee off.

Once on the course, our experience was 10x better. Absolutely perfectly maintained fairways and beautiful challenging greens. This course gives you the pro feeling without the cost. Would recommend this course with a different staff of course.

Challenging and well maintained

Very well maintained and challenging course with very fast greens. Was hoping for more overall character from this course but overall the layout was pretty good and would definitely play again. Make sure you bring your putting game because the the speed of the greens will test your putter.

A local private courese for many years that usually doesn't except public play and we were very glad we got the opportunity to play

The course was in excellent conditon and a great value on Golf Now. A private course for many years in central ohio that even though I usually like more elevation changes was a very enjoyable and challenging course to play. We were very pleased that the club house and staff were welcoming and we felt like members as we prepared to tee off. A great experience and we have played dozens of courses over the past 30 years.
