Typical Jack layout. Not enough land so use what you have to make a very very short very wide golf course and confuse everyone by having 4 different tee boxes. Your choice of tee box wont make any difference on your score since the greens are where the challenges sometime lie. This keeps it one step above an executive course by making unfair roller coaster greens. The greens by the way are hard to hold but need a good mow and roll because there just too slow.
The traps really need a deep machine raking because they are hard as a rock on the bottom where the night water sits. This makes it very easy to get the club on the ball when you land in a fairway bunker.
The tee boxes are loaded with divots. The grass seems dry on top but is muddy underneath the surface making it easy to hit fat shots. After waiting three years to play this course I was really dissapointent by the layout. You could play the course with about 7 clubs in your bag. From the back tees I only hit driver on 4 holes. The rolling terain adds to the difficulty but if you hit the right IRON off the tees you can eat this course up. I was shocked that there is still temporary clubhouse and pro shops. This must be due to the fact that they can't get enough people to pay the incredibly high green fees. What a shame.

I’ve been playing this course almost as long as I’ve been playing golf (1973). I like to go back at least 6 times a year to relive the days my father, brothers and I had the first tee time every Friday. I’m sorry to say 6/27/03 was the last time I’ll play this cow pasture. I’ll put up with the poorly maintained, over ball marked and diseased ridden greens. I’ll put up with the slow play and the afternoon wind but there are two things at Greenriver I won’t put up with any longer. First there are the bunkers. They are the worst I have ever seen. Half of them are hard as concrete and the other half are filled with “sand” that contains rocks. Actually, you should say it’s rocks that contains some sand. They must just be getting sand from the local river bed to save some bucks. The problem with that is my wedges are not from the local river bed and actually cost me some money. I’d rather not get dings on them hitting a simple sand shot. Our foursome decided to play the bunkers as “Ground under Repair”.
The second and biggest reason I won’t set foot on this place again is because of the deteriorating customer service. From the ‘clerks’ (calling them pro’s would be unjust to the real golf pros out there) in the pro shop who have so many stupid little rules that by the time you get to the first tee your blood pressure is through the roof. My favorite is if you want to hit a warm up bucket you have to pay for the bucket then go back when you’re ready to tee off before paying for your green fees. They really don’t want anyone hitting warm up balls. A couple of months ago we had over forty minutes until our tee time so we went to the range (which is irons only by the way)and they kept calling us and calling us to come to the pro shop. We got sick of being called so one member of our group went up to pay and was told to come back and pay “when you’re ready to hit the tee”. Hey, there’s a nice relaxing way to warm up before a round. Plus three trips to the pro shop before paying for your round is a very efficient use of the clerks time. No wonder the phone rings so much when you call.
Add to that the fact that your tee time is only an estimate. If you’re early they try to rush you to the tee. If somebody is late they still let them play. All of this still adds up to rounds that are over 5 hours long.
On top of that the employees I’ve encountered lately are just plain rude. Here’s a tip. If you hate your job that much find something else to do.
Since Greenriver’s green fees are no bargain unless you’re under a court order I suggest you play anywhere else.
I could go on and on about this toilet but I’ll save it for the radio show
