River Lakes Golf Course

Great little course, had some challenging water holes, only lost 2 balls 😀 Reasonably priced $15 riding for 9 holes. The man working the counter was super friendly. Even the other golfers were nice! Another reason I liked it was because it wasn't super crowded and we weren't rushed with our game. This course actually sits behind the JB Driving range that can be seen from I-255. Pretty easy to find when you exit I-255 coming from Missouri it's all right hand turns. Make sure you take a right at the 4 way stop and another right at the little bridge. If you end up in the industrial area ya went to far. Enjoy!

Very affordable. Course itself is in decent shape, not a very tough one. Very straight. No sand traps, and only a couple water hazards. Small snack bar located where you pay your golf fee. 5 bucks for all you can hit at the driving range is really unbeatable. Greens weren't the most forgiving but made for a nice short game challenge after fairly easy drives. Well worth it if you want to play 18 for 20 bucks!

The course itself is in rough shape. The tee boxes and fairways are beat up pretty badly and the greens are either super slick or have no roll to them whatsoever. The course itself is fairly flat which is common for the area that it's in. The price to play is a bit high. Fair warning as I honestly haven't experienced this anywhere else, but if you're paying with a card, they will charge you more so make sure to bring cash. The yardage markers on the scorecard are not accurate across the course so check your yardage as mentioned in previous review and do not go strictly off that. My second biggest complaint next to the condition of the course honestly is the pace. This is a busy course which would be fine if they implemented tee times. We had a ranger come over to our group of 4 who were playing scramble mode and ask us to pick up the pace several times, yet we were constantly waiting behind 3 groups of 4 playing their own respective shots. Now I'm not going to say that's wrong because they paid just as much as I did to play the course, but kind of odd that we were asked to pick it up whilst every hole once we'd finish, we'd wait a solid 15 minutes again before being able to tee off. I asked the ranger why they don't implement tee times and he said it's not how they want to do business. So I'm assuming having people angrily wait 15 minutes to tee off every hole is better than implementing tee times to these people. Will not be back unfortunately because I was looking forward to playing based off some of the reviews I had read elsewhere.
