Embarrassing
Gold course was very bad. Not one aspect of the course was even in fair condition. I am surprised anyone plays there. It appears they spent all their money on the club house. It's a shame because the course design isn't bad.
Play elsewhere
Terrible course conditioning. The course is over watered. There are more weeds than actual grass. I played here 2 years ago and hoped it would have improved. To make matters worse our cart died on 15 and not even an apology from the staff. Play Waterlefe or University Park for a little more $$$
Crazy conditions but nice experience anyway
Nice golf course . Pleasant and quiet. Well maintained fairways. Not much diversity between each hole but still somehow challenging.
Great bar and restaurant facilities. Free range balls which is a substantial plus.
River Wilderness Country Club
I played this about two years ago and it was terrible. Was told a new owner was putting money into the club. Well if they have I would get my money back. First of all my t time was not until 10:30. I could not get ANYTHING to eat not even a cup of coffee.
Then the course. DOG track. And they do not seem to care about the pace of play. I watched on every t box guys hunting for golf balls. I mean if you want to look for your ball that is one thing, within reason. But these people fished out a few balls each on almost every hole. They call this a country club. Absolutely terrible
Sorry
I originally played this course in 2016. At that time I thought I had found a jewel. By 2019 they had let everything go. Fairways, greens and traps. I said I would not play again. However, there was an opportunity to play for a reasonable amount of money considering the high cost of all courses in the Sarasota/Bradenton area. I was very disappointed again and for $83 I felt there was no worth in the play. Additionally, there was no way to get anything to eat either at the turn or cart. A terrible roundwhich found the area around the greens overwatered and very soggy. This course is not worth the ride or cost.
Subpar Golf Course in a Very Nice Neighborhood
The Club has a lovely clubhouse, very friendly staff, updated carts with GPS, paved cart path, and a very nice layout. Too bad, not a dime has been spent maintaining the actual course. Weeds, bare spots, wet spots on a very dry day, rocks in the sand traps and lousy greens. Yes, the price was reasonable but I would have preferred grass.
Nice course
There seems to be a big void in fundamental course maintenance. Seems like an easy fix with with a little funding and attention
Greens
Looked like greens were cut when they were wet, clumped grass littered the greens on front 9 making it impossible for ball to roll true.
