Top 3 Things We Like About Rivercut:
It’s a challenging course at a great value. Not your typical muni.
Holes 4-6 run along the beautiful James River.
Very different from the front 9 to the back 9. The front is in the valley along the river. The back introduces interesting elevation changes.
Our Best Advice:
Pay attention to your short game. The fairways are generous; however, there’s usually a price to pay for missing a green.
Holes 8-10 present the toughest stretch on the course. Avoiding double bogeys here is an accomplishment.
Buy a Rivercut shirt in the pro shop. They’ve got a great logo.
Our Favorite Hole:
#15 Par 3. Short shot over a pond from an elevated tee, so the wind can cause problems here. This hole can make or break a round.
