This course has no water hazards, but all its holes are well bunkered. Locals say this is a difficult course because most of the fairways are doglegs and lined by mature trees. In addition, the course has four extremely difficult par 3's.

A True Classic, May 18, 2007

reviewer: DM from The Woodlands, TX

While I have not played River Forest in many years, it is one of the courses around Freeport where I learned to play and improve my game as a youngster and young man. The layout and characteristics force a player to use strategy, finesse, and decision-making to score well. It truly taught me to develop a superior short game. This course can humble a player who is too agressive or who lacks a good short game. After I moved away from the area, I always look forward to playing River Forest when I visited family. Definately play this course if you have the opportunity. And remember, everything breaks toward the Allegheny!

River Forest, Jul 29, 2004

reviewer: Jamison from Gibsonia

This course is beautifully landscaped and the holes are well placed. This is somewhat a difficult course, so if you are a beginner I wouldn't recommend this. Otherwise, it is an awesome course.

Fun Course, Apr 02, 2004

reviewer: Dave Sandstrom from Glenshaw PA

I've been a member of the club for about 5 years and played the course often prior to that. The improvements made over the last few years add challenge and interest. The par 5 #3 is very tough, but fun. I've birdied it and tripled it. You never know what will happen. The signature of the course is its trees. If you don't hit the ball straight, you'll be adding strokes to your score.
