Tough Greens

We played on a day when it hadn't rained for a few days. The course was in great shape, but the greens were very fast and difficult to read.
Overall, it is a nice course and very good value. We'll definitely go there again.

Playing at River Falls Course

Course is in great shape and excellent condition. Green will hold a shot into them. Lots of trees and nicely setup. Greens are running fast that day I played. Watch #3 elevated tee shot with heavy tree (woods) lined fairway, iron off the tee to get into the fairway then a blind shot at the green.
I will play River Falls Golf course again. I am coming back for revenge...lol

good value

this is a nice course. No houses on the course until you get to 16 which is nice.
Course is in great shape as they all are right now.
greens were lightening fast until it rained. when we were on 12 it rained about an inch in 1/2 hour. the course held up quite well to the rain and the greens slowed down obviously.

We will come back.

Good course, unpredictable

Fun course to play. Greens are unpredictable, some very fast some slow. Saw a big Tom turkey on the course, so that was a good time. All in all, good bang for your buck.

Great Value for the Money

Nice course with some quirky holes. Greens were good for May 1st - rolled true and had no winter burn. The course is shorter, medium tight with a number of hard doglegs. Position play is at a premium. Played carts were electric and moved right along. We will be back. Very scenic overlooks.

Course was in good condition

I payed for a cart but they didn't have any available at my tee time. They offered me a sleeve of balls as compensation. The course was in good condition, but there are many blind shots that require having played the course once or twice to know where to hit.

excellent venue, friendly staff

I enjoy the courses in western Wisconsin even though I live in the western suburbs of Minneapolis. The elevation changes and the geography create some interesting and challenging holes. River Falls Golf Course is enjoyable course offering a variety of challenges for all levels of golfers. Enjoy the late fall outing and would recommend it to anyone looking for an enjoyable course..

Nice older local course

I played this course with a friend on a weekday morning. The design was pretty dated, but several holes had a need of 'local knowledge' to prevent problems. Not a long course, but playable. Greens were average, but fairways were nice and rough did penalize you a bit.

River Falls

The fairways and rough were in good shape when I played. Greens were punched so I can't comment on them. Decent course but way to many blind shots for my liking. There are some tee box's pretty close to the greens which could be dangerous.
