Been a couple of months since I visited one of my favorite layouts. Course in very good shape but wet. CPO. Fairways and tees are good, roughs not over seeded. Greens hadn't been mowed in a couple of days due to frost and were choppy. Speed was fine at 9. Good staff, updated clubhouse, and a very challenging course - put RH on your to play list.

Thanks for the pic's UGP, we always try to play River Hills at least once while were down here,a good mid tier course with some challenging and tight driving holes. Conditions have been excellent the times I've played and the greens were always running 10+, passport price is very reasonable also...
Thanks UGP!
River Hills is absolutely what you can call a "Best bang for the buck" kind a of course!

Good update on River Hills could be our Friday course if things turn around weather wise.
UCP this is another course I know nothing about may have to on the list.

I haven't played there in years. Sounds like it's time to go back!
Great course, thanks for the update and photos. One of the more underrated courses in MB. Couldn't believe it took us 9 years to play it. Won't take 9 to return, more like regular rotation course for our group (every 3/4 years for our favorites).
thanks for the update!
Let the Big Dawg Bark!!!
Thanks UGP

I will always remember this course. I made a hole-in-one there some years ago.
So no wall-to-wall overseed for this course. But some very good holes on this golf course.
Thanks for the update and the very nice pics UGP.
''It's just golf, let's have fun''
I made my first ever hole-in-one on a course I wish I could forget. There was an 18-hole executive course in Virginia Beach called Owl's Creek that when it opened in the late '80s and for many years thereafter, was an excellent layout for what it was, always kept in good condition. That changed, and conditions seriously deteriorated. I heard it was on the chopping block back in 2014 and decided to play there one last time for old times' sake. It was in such horrendous condition (for instance, the bunkers were completely weeded over with some plants as high as three feet) that I'd already decided to cut short the round at the turn--I couldn't stand even thinking what the back nine would have been like.
So, of course, I get my first career ace on the ninth, a par-3 of about 165 yards. I couldn't believe it: a course I wanted to put out of my mind is now one that I'll never forget.
By the way, the course closed by the end of the summer.
Great story!
