Riley's Conference Center

Pros:This is a good course the with alot of distance. Some of the holes require some skill to work through threw the trees. There is also old golf cart paths that are OB so you got to be acurate with your drives on some holes. Cons: There are stakes in the ground that mark the tee pads that you can very easily cut yourself on if you get to close to them. Some of the tee pads are really spread apart so you have to walk to find the next hole.Some of the holes are wide open that dont need to be th ...

I wanted to put off my review of this course until I got a little more experience under my belt. While I've got some, I've still got a ways to go. But after playing more than a fair share of courses I realize what we have here at Riley. We've put a lot of work into new pin placements, and realizing different lines and routes available on the course. Considering it used to be a 9 hole ball golf course (explaining the wide open fairways), I think we've maximized the usage of trees/elevation on the ...

I wanted to put off my review of this course until I got a little more experience under my belt. While I've got some, I've still got a ways to go. But after playing more than a fair share of courses I realize what we have here at Riley. We've put a lot of work into new pin placements, and realizing different lines and routes available on the course. Considering it used to be a 9 hole ball golf course (explaining the wide open fairways), I think we've maximized the usage of trees/elevation on the course. I'd love to have more tunnel/technical shots, but unless we get a huge effort going and make a subterranean front/back nine, I don't think it's going to happen. So I've come to enjoy what this course is. Almost every hole requires a drive, upshot, and a putt. Some holes requiring a little more "airing it out" than others, so if you're driving in the 350-400 range accurately you can shoot under par pretty easy. This course has some awesome holes, my favorites being: #11 - Where hitting a monster flex shot just right can land you a massive birdie, #13 - Looooong and downhill, makes you want to empty your bag, #14 - Shooting from hilltop to hilltop around a very unforgiving tree that seems to reach out and grab discs, #16 - As much as I hate it, I love going for the death putt, and finally #17 - Shooting down from a hilltop down an S curve valley lined with trees. So in closing, with what we have to work with, I think it's a great course. For me especially, living 5 minutes away. Thanks to everyone who's helped with the development so far.
