Frequently Asked Questions
How challenging is The River Course, really, and what should I watch out for?

When is the absolute best time of year to play The River Course for ideal conditions and fewer crowds?
We always recommend visiting in late spring or early fall; the weather is perfect, and the course conditions are at their peak. You'll avoid the summer humidity and the larger crowds that flock here during peak vacation weeks.

The stretch from the 14th to the 16th is truly unforgettable, with the dramatic par-3 15th playing directly over a river inlet. It's a photo-op and a gut-check all in one, a true highlight of the round.
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.
