The Club at River Wilderness

Nice course layout. Hard to play the fairways due to drought conditions. The course needs to have a Ranger for the weekend to manage the pace of slow players.

Course has a nice layout, but the grass everywhere is horrible, the greens have weeds / bumps / sand pockets / ant holes / dirt. Course needs serious attention

Normally I only write positive reviews, however this was a clear case of money grab.

- the greens are unplayable, not seeding, not dry, simply unplayable. Think pot holes…

- course is unattended which leads to piling up. There was a four group wait on hole 5.

- yes dry conditions, but they simply have given up hope to keep it playable, fairways have weeds and dirt, etc.

- other annoying items: no carts in parking lot, “don’t steal range balls signage in cart”

Very poor overall course conditions. Red tee boxes don’t exist, greens are all sanded up and with lots of holes. Most holes are missing signs with yardage, number, par etc. Not a good experience.

We have played this course many times.It used to be one of our favourites but it has gone down hill over the last couple of years.The tee boxes were very poor the greens and fairways were not very good.We always looked forward to playing here but will not return until there’s a great improvement.

Ponds have all the water the course needs, should be fine when the weather gives the course water, $30 round at best for the next few months unless the course puts money into watering it.

The layout is great unfortunately the conditions were like playing a farm course. I played here in December and they had reseeded the fairways and were watering all day. I figured with what they were doing that the course would be in great shape, boy was I wrong

This course has so much promise and I can tell it used to be an awesome place. The biggest problem is that the greens are some of the roughest I’ve ever seen. Weeds and patches of sand are the norm. It seems awesome each time I go, they’re getting worse, not better. I keep swearing, I won’t come back. But there is something about the course and teetimes are always open because of the conditions.

The layout of the course is nice and the staff is very pleasant and helpful. However, most of the tee boxes need work and the greens were worst. Played here about a month ago and conditions were much better. Do not understand how the course could have fell on such hard times so quickly. I would not recommend playing there until conditions improve.

This golf course is in completely disrepair!. From the practice range, to the greens. Every green are bold, no GRASS. Tee boxes are burn, I mean,!Burn.! Never played a course in such conditions.Such beautiful area with beautiful homes and lakes,it's a shame this course is in.Fairways are nothing but sand and weeds. Hope someone gets the message.

A number of friends and I used to play this course a number of winters (10 years?) ago. The layout was nice and the it was in great shape. It’s 45 minutes away from St. Pete Beach and eventually we started playing at courses closer to our winter homes.

I saw River Wilderness on Golf Now the other day and said why not?

Unfortunately it was the worst course I have ever played in Florida. The fairways were rock hard to the point of dead turf throughout. Sand trips were properly maintained. The greens were essentially dead. I doubt any greens had been irrigated and / cut in a month!

It is beyond sad to see such a nice course being allowed to deteriorate to this extent!!! I cannot envision ever being back.

The greens could be better. I wish they had water throughout the course.(coolers) or snack cart to come out.
