What an amazing staff and all around great experience! Came here a couple of Saturdays ago and had…read morea wonderful time playing golf with my father. I was greeted by the two gentlemen inside as I smelled the wonderful aroma of sausage being cooked on the stove. The guys behind the counter were polite and wished us a great round. We went over to the snack area and had very attentive service. The woman behind the counter was so pleasant and told us to make sure to get a "world-famous" BLT at the turn. All the carts were really nice and super clean with scorecards and pencils in them. The two marshalls were really welcoming and pleasant to talk with. They let us know on the putting green our tee time was next. We got a little practice in on the putting green which is in great condition. We really enjoyed listening to the relaxing music on the overhead speakers as we were putting. My father even recognized some of the soft jazz songs being played (let me say jazz is his thing, not mine). We were told that they recently had a new irrigation system put in the golf course and it really shows. The maintenance staff really does an excellent job. The course is in top notch condition and some of the crew we saw were very kind. They even waved and complemented our drives. I had a much better time at Galloway than any other course in Memphis. This place is first class all the way. The only thing I wish was better was my score! Ha! Oh, and we did come in at the turn to get a BLT and it wasn't just good, it was amazing! It was packed with bacon and the lettuce and tomatoes were super fresh. We sat around like two of the guys watching ESPN's College Game Day. Hey, and I forgot to add, they put on grips for your clubs here. I mean, this is pretty much a country club without all the expensive fees and snobby people. Look, if you're gonna play golf in Memphis, you have got to come to Galloway. It's such a great atmosphere to be surrounded by. Our round was 4 hours on a Saturday morning. The starter was efficient with getting players out on time, even the ones who showed up late. Like I said, from the employees inside, to the grounds staff, and the employees outside in this heat, Galloway is first class all the way.

Great greenery on the golf course with a decent amount of holes to play. Although the golf course…read moreis quite beautiful, the inside restaurant, restrooms, and clubhouse area could use some new renovations. Previous Memphis Mayor W.

Some of the greens are nearly dead. Bare dirt instead of a nice grass surface on many greens. Several tee boxes were in bad shape as well. Fairways were good. A few bunkers were needing attention. I always gave this course 5 stars but due to the poor greens conditions I had to go lower. I do hope they are able to recover the greens soon. Until then I'll be looking for another place to play.

To add to Tony's comments from 10 years ago, I have played Riverside since I was a kid and sadly it…read morehasn't improved. While the clubhouse is nice, the burgers good, and the staff friendly, the course itself is at best a raggedy, neglected goat ranch. So it's a 'good value' only in the sense that you're not paying much for a crummy course. Fairways are mainly low-cut weeds and crabgrass, while the greens are low-cut dead weeds and lumpy, hardpacked dirt and sand. The course is in the hood, and the sound of not-too-distant gunfire not uncommon. If you're intent on going, watch yourself and don't leave valuables in your car. If you have a carry permit, carry. Riverside is bordered on the east by a noisy expressway, on the north by a gravel pit, and the water Tony mentions to the west is not the Mississippi River, but McKellar Lake - the smelly, highly polluted, garbage-filled Memphis industrial harbor. There are prehistoric remnants of cart paths between #1 and #2, between #4 and #5, and between #5 and #6. The actual course layout, while short, makes a primitive but fun track with many deep ravines, hills, thick woods, overgrown areas, and OB to the right on 7 of the 9 holes. Most holes are par 4, with one par 3 and one par 5. Also, plenty (as in plenty) of snakes, so don't go poking around in the rough or down in the ravines - even though you see brand new golf balls down there. Insects of every description (mainly mosquitos, flies, gnats, ticks) are plentiful. In short, this course and it's ancient layout could be a gem if the city spent some money on it, maintained it, and improved security. Don't mean to be overly-critical, but out-of-towners and other neophytes need to know what they're getting into. If you're looking for a decent municipal course in Memphis, go to Overton Park GC on Poplar Ave or Galloway GC on Walnut Grove Rd. And watch yourself.

Really a great value. It only has nine holes. But for $14 with cart. Wow. It's close to Downtown…read moreand pretty well maintained. Plus you can actually see the river. A quick review of the course is it's a little hilly. There is no sand or water. The first 6 greens seem to be a Bermuda hybrid which makes it a little difficult to putt. And there isn't a cart path. So don't let these things surprise you. Another neat feature of this course is they have foot golf. Three days a week they close the golf course for soccer golf. It's 18 holes and you actually kick soccer balls from a tee box into 50 gallon cans they have sunk into the ground. Nice alternative for the younger crowd who don't want to play golf. This really is a great option for a quick round of golf. Make sure you check with the course for tee times before you go. It's regular golf 4 days and foot golf the other three. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did. Have fun and hit them straight.

My husband is quite the avid golfer, and decided to give this course a whirl. It's 9 holes, and it…read morecost him a mere $8 green fee ($7 on weekdays) and $6 bucks for a golf cart. He and his buddies had fun simply because it is cheap and a pretty simple course. He said he will go back just to improve upon his golf skills. It is by no means an excellent course, nor should it be looked to as such. He claims that its a great way to get practice, and much more fun than the driving range. It's clean, but does need some work. There are a lot of patches that are shaded and have no grass, which from what I understand is a big no no when it comes to the rule book of golf- but what are you expecting? No, Tiger Woods prolly wouldn't be caught dead here- but it seems like a cheap, fun and close way to get your golf on in Memphis.

We drove 40 minutes in the afternoon and arrived to the course at 5:40pm and was told by two separate employees that they were "no longer giving out carts after 5:30" even though the course closes at 8pm. While walking isn't the issue, it would take longer to walk the 9 hole course versus using a cart. They also pull the pins of the holes at 7:30 so it makes it impossible to finish your round. While we understand wanting to go home after a work day, it has felt as of lately that the employees prioritize leaving on time rather than the customer experience.

Whoever the Marshall that was on duty needs to be spoken to, and maybe even terminated. We started our round with four walkers in front of us and two walkers behind us and I had purchased two teetimes because I had five people. At at the turn, we stopped at the clubhouse to get some lunch and had to wait for our food to be cooked. While we were eating, the Marshal came in and told us we needed to get back out on the course immediately that this was not a sit down and eat facility, it was a grab and go. We left without arguing, but when I looked at my watch, I realized we had only been on the course for two hours, and when we got to the 10th T box, the walkers were still in the middle of the fairway. We ended up finishing our 18 hole round exactly at the four hour mark while following two sets of walkers. His attitude during the turn set a very poor example for my two boys that were golfing with me. If you're going to serve cook to order food, then the Marshall needs to take a chill pill. That is the only reason for the two star review today. The course is beautiful, the facilities are great, and normally I have an exceptional experience with all of the staff, but whoever was working today was horrible.
