Is playing The River Course worth the green fee, and what's the typical cost?

Yes, it's absolutely worth it - expect green fees to be in the $250-$350 range, depending on the season and time of day. That price includes top-tier course conditions, exceptional service, and a truly memorable layout you won't soon forget.

Do I need a caddie at The River Course, and how's the pace of play?

While not mandatory, we strongly recommend taking a caddie; their local knowledge on the subtle breaks and river-influenced winds is invaluable. Pace of play is generally excellent, usually around four hours, thanks to well-managed tee times.
