Had the chance to play one of my bucket list courses today thanks to Alex326. We took off for the most fun I have had golfing in a long time at 900. What is there to say but everything was perfect. Weather was awesome, views were amazing and the course is totally fun.

As you would expect conditions were excellent. Everything from tee to green was amazing. I was even able to get the traveling birdie chain with a birdie on #6.

If you get the chance to play I would do it as soon as possible.

A huge thank you to Alex for taking care of my and providing me a great day on the links.

Played on Monday in the morning. Course is in above average shape. Most fairways are lush and have a good roll to them. Not much in terms of rough to speak of maybe 1-2 inches. Sand was ok. Greens were good but a little to bumpy for me. I would say course is in better shape then it has been in the last few months. They are a GK supporter but I will be honest at $46 to walk I will not be playing that often.

Played a couple times last week and course is in great shape again. Fairways are lush green and have good roll. Bunkers are great with rakes. Greens in good overall shape. Conditions have gotten a lot better in the last few months.

Played the south course on Friday afternoon. Best part was the pace, about 3 1/2 hours on a Friday afternoon was great. Course was in average to a little above average shape.

Tee boxes were level and easy to play from. Fairways were mostly green with many brown spots but generally very playable. There is not much rough to speak of and wasn’t much of an issue. Sand was well manicured and playable. Greens looked great with almost no ball marks and lush. But unfortunately they were pretty bumpy and medium to slow speed.

The pace of play saved the day. It was pretty busy but we played fast. Cost was a little more then what I’m used to but I guess since it was a Friday they charge weekend rates. The course is not super challenging but fun. If you can get a tee time I would say go ahead and play!

I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to play this course today with some friends (one is a vet). I haven’t played here in about 10 years and I didn’t realize what I was missing. To get to the point, if you have the opportunity to play here you must!

Tee boxes were lush and level with almost no divot damage. Everything was level and easily playable. The fairways were mostly lush and great to play from. It was a little wet(early morning round). There was a brown spot here or there but I would say 95% of the fairways were green and great to hit from. Didn’t get much roll but I’m sure later in the day they would dry up and be even better.

Sand was well groomed and easy to hit from, a little firm but still good. Greens were amazing. Almost no ball marks and ball rolled very smoothly. They were soft but held shots. Also much faster then they looked.

Course butts up to the ocean on the back nine and seeing some of the military aircraft fly through is pretty cool. The best part is the price $33 to walk for non military is great. If you have a friend that has access to the base I strongly recommend you give it a try, you won’t be disappointed!

Played Riverwalk today early in the morning. Course was punched end of September and I was surprised to see no signs of it on the greens. Almost all tee boxes were moved up to the green tees. Those were a little beat up and looks like they were getting ready to move the white and blue tees back.

Fairways were typical Riverwalk, lots of fresh sod areas and most of the back nine was roped off, so not carts on those fairways. Never really had a bad spot on the fairways but nothing to special about them either. Course was a little wet in areas so be careful.

Sand looked good but didn’t play out of it so nothing I can add.

Greens were in really good shape, played at a decent speed and no signs of recent punching. Most rolled well, some were a little bumpy but ok.

If you were waiting to play because of the maintenance don’t wait any longer. Course was in pretty playable shape.

Got the chance to be a fill in at the guru round today at legends course. Overall course is in great shape! Very happy with everything from tee to green.

Tee boxes were level and easy to hit from, some damage but nothing crazy. Fairways were like carpet, good roll and good lies with little divot damage. Bunkers were good and recently raked. Rough was good, didn’t see much of it as I was in a lot of bunkers, but it wasn’t crazy tall. Greens were great in my opinion. I felt they rolled well and was very impressed with the lack of ball marks.

Got the chance to play for the “birdie chain”! I would like to suggest a bogey or double bogey or even triple bogey chain. I received the chain or now what I call “curse” after the first hole and played like s**t after. I think I will stay away from it.

Thanks Johnny for a great day!

Played Monday morning in a annoying drizzle for most of the round. Course is still in good shape. Tee boxes were a little beat up and they had closed some boxes and combo the white and blue. Fairways were good some brown spots but mostly green. Still have a few fairways closed to carts. Rough wasn’t really an issue maybe 1-2 inches and you could find your ball. Sand was good. You could tell they were maintaining the sand well throughout the course.

Greens were good. A little shaggy but rolled well at a good pace. They have inserted a ball remover tool. This way the ball goes to the bottom of the cup and you lift up the lip with your putter/foot and it pulls out the ball. It’s a nice change to the pool noodles and I can easily see it coming commonplace for golf courses.

Used the golf moose deal and it was a good price. Speed of play was great at 3:45. Would definitely play it again, hopefully without any stupid drizzle!

Played yesterday after a long week of work. Not much to add to my previous review. Course is still in really good shape. The only difference is the price. Price for locals is $65 which is a little high but they now have new carts with GPS and the "Shark Experience". It is a nice touch. Course was green everywhere and we played in under 4 hours with some waiting. I posted a pic on the app. If you get a chance I would suggest giving the course a try.

Played Monday in the morning, check in was easy and got out a few minutes early. Played in about 3:45. Course is in better condition than last time I played. Not as lush as I thought it might be but good overall conditions. Greens have healed nicely, a little bumpy but good speed.

Tee boxes were good and easy to hit from. Fairways were green for the most part. Still a few of them roped off but not an issue if you walk. Sand was great and in good shape. Greens had a lot of ball marks and were bumpy but rolled well at a medium pace.

The only thing I didn’t like were the pool noodles were a little to big. They need to be cut about 1/2 inch so the ball falls a little. Some were too high and would just push the ball out.

$41 to walk was a little high but I would play again at the rate.

Played yesterday in the AM. Course has gotten even better since my last review. IT IS GREEN. I don't think I saw one brown spot on the course. Tees were level and good to hit from. They are adding 5-6 new tee boxes throughout the course. Should make the course a little longer.

Fairways were lush green. They probably need a trim but with the recent rain they may be waiting. No brown spots and easy to hit from. The rough is getting tough. Not unfair tough but enough where you have to think about what you are doing. This is a nice change from most SD courses where you would be lucky to see grass taller than 1-inch.

Sand was great. Nice white sand has finally settled in. Not to fluffy but enough sand to take a good swing and not worry about breaking your wrist.

Greens had fully recovered and were nice and smooth. They are on the fast side and you need to pay attention.

The biggest issue I hear is the course is surrounded by houses, which is true but the conditions make up for it. I have been hearing the new owners are not worried about money and are trying hard to make it one of the nicest courses in SD. If you are in SD it is worth giving it a try.

Played Riverwalk today using the coupon. Thanks to greenskeeper for getting these deals for us!

Course is in good shape. Looks like they are doing some serious work to make the course better. Tee boxes were in good shape and easy to hit from and level. Fairways were the weakest part but much better than last time I played. I was in a couple of fairway bunkers and they were in great shape. Easy to get the club on the ball. Greens were in good shape, a little bumpy for my taste but looked good and rolled faster than you thought. Looks like they have added some new sand to some of the green side bunkers. Nice white sand looked good and played well.

I enjoyed my round and was happy to see the course in good shape. If you can use the coupon it is a great deal. Even without the couple I would play again. Hope they continue with the improvements!
