This private course presents a balance of approachable fairways and strategically placed hazards, creating a rewarding experience for players across skill levels. The course's parkland style unfurls across gently rolling terrain, punctuated by mature trees and sparkling water features that come into play on several holes, particularly on the back nine.

River Hills welcomes players to test their precision and club selection amid fairways that reward thoughtful shot planning. The well-maintained bunkers and water hazards require cautious navigation, adding a layer of challenge while enhancing the course’s aesthetic.

Played this course in the afternoon with a group of four. Great welcoming feeling when entering the clubhouse. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the course. The Course was challenging and in excellent shape, tee boxes were excellent and greens were in very good shape, I thought a little slow fairways were great with no bare spots. Course seemed to be very well maintained, carts were electric and in very good condition and ran very smoothly. They had water at several locations around the course and also Restrooms out on the course that were clean and very nice. Had a great experience playing this course and look forward to coming back in the future.

For the price, this place is a steal. Parts of this course are pretty straightforward, where other parts are very unique and challenging. The only thing that stopped this from being 5 stars was the condition of the greens. It seemed like they hadn't been mowed in a while. Very soft. Didn't roll much and had a lot of stuff marks. Other than that, a great course!

Awesome golf course. Not easy to play. On the back nine there is a lot of water. But great layout. We had a lot of fun, playing this course on a tournament. Greens are great and fast. Fairway’s in good condition. Overall, great course to play! Everything on the tournament was good organized and staff is friendly and helpful.

I have been coming to the area for 35 years and now I live here. Driven by the River Hills sign a thousand times and never thought about playing but did so yesterday. What a gem. The staff was friendly and made you feel at home. More of a country club type feel. The course was in good shape and had some challenging holes. Look forward to coming back real soon.
