River Place Country Club

I was not told course had Tee Boxes under construction as well as some cart paths. Staff were friendly and very accommodating. Difficult course for the average golfer. Well maintained and attractive.

Talk to the staff before playing...several holes have drastic elevation shifts that can result in a normally accurate drive/hit bouncing into the rough. Narrow fairways, lots of hazards - bring lots of balls! Very fun course, you haven't played until you have played River Place.

Upon arrival at the course, each of our players was told that the price we were charged was too low, but golf shop would bill GolfNow. We were charged more than indicated by GolfNow. Pro had ATTITUDE. We arrived an hour before our tee time and were told that we would follow 5 foursomes playing a best ball scramble. We asked to go ahead but were told no. There were no immediate players ahead of the scramble but we were told we still have to follow them. After 4 hours we had completed 11 holes. No Marshall, no fast play. We left. Now pro shop can rejoice in that we got what we paid for. Too many other great Austin courses available at good values with friendly atmospheres.

Excellent course....tough, fair. I wouldn't pay over 50 bucks to play there though. Pace of play was a little slow, found over 30 golf balls waiting to hit next shot.

If you get a chance to play this course, do it!!! You shouldn't be disappointed. We played here on Sunday 05/26 and had an awesome time. The area had recvd lots of rain the past several days which helped with the speed of the greens and caused us to be cart path only. The only issue we had on the course was some of the bunkers needed attention and there were some areas that needed to be mowed, both probably due to recent rain. However, there was very little standing water on the course itself. This course is truly in pristine condition; kudos to the grounds keepers. If you like drastic elevation changes, scenic views, and have a "go for it" type attitude you have to play this course.....it is fun to say the least. I was kind of nervous playing this course only because I had read some reviews about a rude employee in the pro shop, luckily we didn't encounter anyone like that. The staff we met were pretty nice, but it is a country club after all.

Course was in excellent shape, especially greens and fairways. Would rate it prestine, but alternate/forward tees were used on many holes to help with tee maintenance. Very tricky course and tight on many holes. Need to know where to miss. Not long, but challenging with many uphill shots to greens making it play much longer than marked. Great staff offering earlier tee time when available and facilitating fast play. Bring plenty of balls and check score card for each hole to see challenge of every shot.

Played this course on a visit to Austin and it was well worth hauling my clubs through the airport. The fairways were in great shape, like rolling green carpet. The greens were technically under an aeration warning but the ball rolled true, although slowly. The course is really a country club but allows non-members to play once a month through Golfnow. The staff was super friendly and range balls were free as was coffee.

Awesome course I would not the recommend to a high handicap but a fifteen or lower a great and challenging course staff was great !!!!club and shot selection very very important .

Fun and very beautiful views. Challenging course, will play again

The course was excellent! Had a blast playing it. The only thing that needs attention are the bunks. The traps that I managed to get into weren't so much sand as they were dirt.... The traps I managed to stay out of looked a lot better so it was probably isolated issues that they are currently dealing with.

I'd give the place a solid 8.9 and well worth the $69 golfnow deal that I purchased through.

Everything about this place is great. It's a private club, which allows a bit of public play. There were free range balls on the range. The course is very challenging, even though it is a bit short on the card. There are a lot of elevation changes, and great views. The landing areas are very firm, and your ball may bounce into one of the many canyons if you aren't careful. Repeated playing of this course is necessary to figure it out and shoot a decent score. It was a lot of fun. The drink cart was always around, with more cold Shiner. They had Pilsner Urquell on draft at the 19th hole, which was an amazing bonus. Can't wait to play it again soon.

This course was in a beautiful location looking over all of Austin. It was not too difficult but some fairways were pretty narrow at times. Other than that, I had a perfect day of golf and would go back there anytime!

Plan and simple.....this is one of the best courses in Austin, in
Texas and the entire southwest. Reminds me of Apple Roock and
Ram Rock in Horse Shoe Bay. Fun to play with majestic views.
This is a second shot golf course with a premium on distance
control. Super nice people are anxious to attend to your every
need. Tom Kite did a superb job!

Played by myself. You need someone who has played the course to help out on many holes. Course is beautiful and tough. I will play again.

Course was in great shape and very challenging. A shot makers course. Would definetly play it again. Play was a little slow due to being behind 2 very slow players but the views were so incredible, I didn't mind.

There are too many severe slopes and drop offs due to not enough space. They did a good job with what they had but I would refer to the course as "tricked up" and would not likely play it again.

Excellent facilities with above average difficulty from the back tees. Beautiful course and very good conditioning

The course was very challenging with several different depths. Nestled in a mountain like area with great views of Austin. The greens and fairways were kept up very well. Lots of strategy in play due to blind spots. If it were my choice, I wouldn't golf anywhere else within the area... best kept secret!

I've played here many times and I can't remember the fairways being so hard. This course can be very difficult but when the fairways allow the ball to rollllllllll, who knows where your ball will end up. A shot dead solid perfect will end up in a creek or worse because of it. The greens were fine, and the view is spectacular, but I'd wait a while to play here.

great course! challenging, but not unfair. lots of undulation in the fairways and pretty small greens. course is in great shape.

everyone there is very friendly. just make sure you are on time, cause they do a great job of making sure pace of play stays reasonable.
