This was my first time playing the river forest golf course. Very nice. The greens were very well maintained. We look forward to playing the course again.

This is a great course with a nice combination of elevation changes, creeks and lakes to navigate, strategically placed white sand bunkers, and large undulating greens. They take very good care of it and it always looks nice with smooth medium/fast greens, thick but closely cut fairways, and the . A nice driving range where it seems they are always hitting off grass and a huge practice green. There are several blind fairways and doglegs, so course knowledge is a huge help on those holes. It would be very helpful for a first timer to have either a member in their group, a yardage book, or an app with overhead views of the fairways and distances to hazards. Luckily all the members I have met are genuine and friendly. It is a neighborhood course with distance between some holes, but the houses generally sit a well away from the fairways/greens, and with very little if any OB coming into play. I would highly recommend playing this course if you are ever afforded the opportunity. The course is very woman friendly with a tee choices of under 4300 and under 4900, the nines both return to the clubhouse, and there are real restrooms after the 4th hole on both nines. Nice electric carts with coolers. There are 4 tee boxes with with the scorecard offering 6 yardage combinations to choose from (6735, 6280, 6063, 5489, 4893 4274). A big clubhouse with a large dining room that works great for hosting tournaments. Also a bar and dining room that is great for a drink/meal before or after your round.
