Played on 3/12/25. Anytime you can play golf in mid March in western PA it is a good day. River Forest is an appropriate name for this course. While you can’t see the river from the course, you are very close, and there are more than a few trees on this course. If you try to cut a corner on the numerous par 4 dog leg rights or the one dog leg left you’re likely going to hit a tree or be behind one. Hit away from the corner. You will have a longer second shot, but at least you will have a shot. The course was definitely beat up and raw after the winter. Tee boxes were very chewed up per the pics attached. Even though the pics show standing water with no rain in several days this spot might be the low point on the course. This spot is always wet. Service in the pro shop was friendly and casual. If the club does a good job of cleaning up the course in the spring the rating could easily move to 4 Stars.

Had Thanksgiving dinner here on 11/27/2025, Adults were $38 per person, children were $12. Food was mediocre at best. Lukewarm, turkey and cornbread dressing were dry and tasteless. Beans and corn were overcooked. Portions were small. Food seemed to be prepared well ahead of time causing it to be dry and tasteless. Total bill was nearly $300 for 5 adults and 2 children. Banquet gratuity added in was $46, or 20% of table items. Credit card fee was $9, or 3% of subtotal and tax. Additional tip suggestions at bottom of bill for 20, 22, or 25%. The banquet gratuity went to our server. Save your money. You can do much better for the price.

Our dinner was average. Service was amazing and everybody was very friendly. The inside decor could definitely use a refresh. The table was wobbly and small. Drinks were reasonably priced, but the meals were just okay. The fish was a bit over fried, and the coleslaw seemed dry and just wasn’t fresh. The steak salad was good but the steak was a bit overcooked and it was somewhat small. I would come back and give this place another chance because the portions were adequate, and regular patrons seemed to be very happy. This just could have been an off day. The golf course is a beautiful atmosphere and there is very nice outdoor seating.

What was once a beautiful golf course has been reduced to little more than a dirt patch. The greens are pretty much ruined. There are so many dead and dry areas that it's impossible to putt. The tee boxes are overrun with crabgrass and the general maintenance has been neglected for quite some time. If you're looking for a decent course, look elsewhere.

Just had my daughter's baby shower here. It was wonderful! Such a beautiful place. Service was excellent. Great place for events!
