The Club at River Wilderness

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.

Greens are dog 💩

Wish I was exaggerating. For the condition, the course is a $40 round MAX. No foundation under the ball, not even on the tee box. It’s like putting a tee into sand. Patchy fairways, greens covered in sand traps too. If you work there and are reading this please get in touch about refunding my $65.

Last minute find for an early tee time. Should have known for $50 at 7:24 am something was wrong. 2nd group out so we played in little over 3 hours so pace was not an issue. However, tee boxes had weeds and greens were not in just as poor.

For the money, ok

The greens are poor

There’s several areas on most green that are sand & unplayable in these areas

If the greens were better I’d definitely play it again!

Course was in such bad shape that I considered asking for my money back. Greens were spotty, punched and a mixture of matted down dirt and grass. T boxes were in good shape mostly but the fairways were in sorry shape with spots of grass. If it were a perfect weather day I would still have the same thoughts. Finally we traveled just shy of 70 miles to play this course. Never again.

Terrible conditions, tee boxes, fairway edges, around the greens and the greens. All patchy, dry, rough unkempt.

Greens are in bad shape. The rough around the greens is nonexistence course needs a lot of work.

What happened? Played here two years ago on this course. A good layout that NOW is so poorly conditioned and managed that it will get a no return on this end. A group of four teeing off ahead of us that was giving lessons on the course to two first time persons that had never played before. No course ranger or starter.

After 6 holes and 2 1/2 hours we had to skip ahead a hole to get relief of waiting on every shot and playing at 20 minutes per hole. No cart concession person or ranger. Greens absolutely terrible, knobs of grass and bare spots on every hole. Good luck.

Course in terrible condition. Will not go back. Paid for 18 but only played 9

The course is a cow pasture and the greens are unfit for putting. It’s awful and a waste of time and money, this course should not be listed on golf now.

It was the worst course I have ever played in my entire

Play it and see if you feel the same way, wait let me save you some money, don’t waste hard earned money.

This course looks like they are trying to let it go to sell it to developers.
