FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing River Hills Golf & Country Club and what to expect.
Players often find River Hills Golf & Country Club technically exacting. A slope rating of 136.0 suggests a moderately demanding round. The course rating of 73.5 reflects on scoring relative to par 72.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 5046 yards. The back tees extend to 5719.0 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 73.5 and par 72, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 72 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.
Measuring 5719.0 yards at maximum length, strategy outweighs power in most scoring situations.
River Hills Golf & Country Club is designed as a Parkland layout. Overall, the setup will reward players who place the ball in safe positions far from hazards. Also, type of shot is more crucial rather than just trying to gain distance.
