Riverview Country Club

Staff was exceptionally friendly from bag drop, club house and starter. Course is in excellent condition, especially considering the amout of rain lately. 11:00am tee time on a Saturday and round took 4 hours and 25 minutes, which I felt was reasonable. This course is a challenge and makes you think, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I went on June 19th while in a wicked dry spell for rain. Surprisingly the course was great in all the right places, fairways greens and rough that outlined the fairways. There we’re some dead spots but if you’re hitting your ball over there you shouldn’t have good grass to hit off of. Must have been an aeration that happened as you could see a glimpse of it on some greens. All things considered course was in great shape and is a gem in the Lehigh valley. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great course with beautiful views, friendly staff and an overall well rounded value.

We thought we were paying $50 and got sticker shock when they told us it was $76. It's early April, and the course is in MEH condition, to be generous and they get you for $76?? No cart person, the tee boxes were poorly maintained and the bunkers were wet cement. I understand it's early Northeast golf, so those are the conditions you get but don't rip your customer off with that kind of price tag. Riverview has been eliminated as an option moving forward.

The course was in great shape. Very friendly staff. Thoroughly enjoyed the day. The back nine plays tougher than the front, at least for me.

5.5 hours for a round. We almost walked off at the turn, but because the course conditions were good we stuck it out. Boy, what a bad decision that was.

At around hole 11, it became pure chaos. The two groups in front of us got into an actual fight, with one guy yelling racist remarks and threatening another guy with his iron. I have never seen an actual assault on a golf course before!

At this point, thankfully someone called the ranger out about the slow play and the fight. Well, the ranger did nothing. Both groups who got into the fight (and subsequently slowed play even more) were both allowed to continue playing. The pace of play didn't remotely speed up what so ever.

The explanation we received from the front desk after the round was "there was a frost delay this morning and there was a mini outing in front of you." Um what!? It was 68 degrees and sunny and our tee time was 11:45. How a frost delay would affect our tee time is beyond me. And if you have a "mini outing" out there, either you make sure their pace of play is at least somewhat acceptable, which it certainly was not, or you block off/discount tee times behind those groups.

Even so with all of that, if the course management had the courtesy to tell my group all of that BEFORE the round, we wouldn't have had such a poor experience. Most respectable courses would at least enforce pace of play. Not Riverview apparently.

This is a popular course that others recommend. I found the pace of play great as it was low volume afternoon. But I can believe it’s busy on non Labor Day weekend evenings. Greens had been aerated recently but was done well and putting wasn’t adversely affected. Tee boxes average or slightly better. Fairways In Really good shape,.

The holes varied a lot. Made it very interesting. It wasn’t real long but you needed to play strategically to score. Sand traps were numerous and nearly all were pure white and fluffy. They define the course and it was a good change from other courses.

Water in play a few times, nothing notable.

I’ll play again.

After playing 9 holes of golf, my wife and I stopped at the turn and went into the Sand Trap Pub. The personal went out of their way to help my wife who has food allergies finding something on the menu she could eat. Thanks again for the wonderful experience we received. The course itself I thought was very interesting with different elevations and you will use every club in your bag. Looking forward to playing again.

Stopped playing there last year after asking for a ranger as pace of play had we not quit after 14 been over 6 hours. They only say ranger there and do nothing Won’t play it again

Three of us played Riverview CC on Saturday, June 30. We aren't from the area and got a great deal on GroupGolfer for $25. Some of the bunkers were being redone and others had huge puddle in them from drenching rain a day or two earlier. Nothing we or they can do about that.

Something they can do however is make sure the water coolers are filled on the course. It was about 95 degrees and when we got to the first water cooler on hole 4 it was empty. I understand this isn't a private club with enough staff to be able to ensure sure everyone is accommodated, but water coolers being empty on a day like that is unacceptable to me. That is the only gripe I have. Other than that, great experience and I would definitely drive an hour again to play Riverview CC.

...or so for aeration holes to heal. But it was $33 to ride, which was a discount for aeration. The players there are not good on raking traps or fixing ball marks.

Layout of the course is wide open, which being on top of a mountain relies on the wind to make it interesting. Course is in emaculate condition. My only complaint would be golfers not repairing their ball marks on the green. Pro shop and restraunt are excellent

This was our 2nd round on this track, the first having been an outing earlier this year. The impression made at that time demanded we try the course "for real". The conditions were excellent, with only some issues in the sand traps due to heavy rains over the past several days. Fairways are gorgeous, staying out of the rough is important, and the greens roll true and fast.

Some course knowledge is important off the tes as the landing zones are not always obvious. Cutting the corner here usually ends up costing a stroke by having to chisel out of the rough. A fair number of bunkers to deal with, and some ponds on the course. Sprinkler heads are marked to center and accurate when checked against range finders. Elevation changes, while not drastic, do demand shot placement. Some forced carries into greens.

An all around great experience and our group committed to return again soon!

FYI - they run a special Monday - Wednesday that includes lunch in the green fee if you tee off before noon - a great deal made even better.

What a great find! We were on our way to US Women's Open and wanted to try a place on the way. Glad we went!! Great layout, tremendous conditions, great staff.. We will definitely be back!
