Not in great condition

The Fairways were weedy and not well cared for. The tee boxes were in disrepair and the greens need a little more maintenance.

Needs work

The course is laid out well but the fairways are in bad shape. I didn’t enjoy hitting off dirt rather than grass

Slow play is an issue.

For the price, can't complain about the course. Not in good shape but playable. Enjoyed the actual layout though the pace of play was slow - only got 17 holes in due to slow play in front of us. Get a ranger out there wishing people along and please either have drinkable water on the course or a beverage cart available.

Stay away brutal

They should give me back my money. Fairways are brutal. Tee boxes are worse, greens are fair. Waste of money.

Wasted money

If you like to give away money and play on garbage, this is your place!!! They should just take your money and send you home. Too bad, it's a nice layout but your playing on garbage and dirt!!! No grass per se on fairways. Don't waste your money. Greens are ok, staff is friendly, but was most frustrated round. Can't hit on garbage!

I wouldn't even spend $10 on this cr.p.

The Club at River Wilderness Disappoints

Years ago we used to enjoy playing The Club at River Wilderness. The course used to be in pretty good shape. Yesterday, February 19th, we played the course again and came away very disappointed. Notwithstanding the fact it had rained a lot the day before the course is in poor condition. There is hardly any grass in the fairways and so the course is mostly MUD. The grass is too short to cut. It does not look like fertilizing and over-seeding are even occurring. Now money has been spent upgrading the buildings. The new patio and furniture look fine. Sadly, the course conditions are in decline. Our rating for the course itself Is a generous 3.9 out of 5.. We sincerely hope there will be action to save and preserve what used to be a better quality golf facility.

NO GRASS!!!

I have played nearly 100 rounds of golf in FL and this is BY FAR, the worst conditioned course tee to green. The greens were slow, but rolled ok
