The Club at River Wilderness

Really liked the layout. Course conditions are understandable given the recent owner change. Can't wait to play next year after greens get a little tlc.

Played this course 20 years ago and really enjoyed it I was shocked at the course condition when I returned. Such a shame because it’s a great layout. Everything was tired, the facility, the course, even the staff. Greens were in horrendous condition. Hope they can raise some money and bring it back.

Greens are absolutely horrific, played a 7:40 tee time an had sprinklers going off in the middle of the fairways after our tee shots. A sprinkler ended up turning on as we were shooting our approach shots. Greens have holes, weeds, sand, and rocks all over them, impossible to truly putt there. Overpriced for the condition, the only thing good about this place was the fairways.

Absolutely the worst greens I’ve seen in Manatee County. Tee boxes and fairways we’re good. The layout is great. Really no excuse for the lack of maintenance. The lakes are full, so there’s plenty of water to make the course beautiful.

Bad course overall for the money. Greens are horrendous. New owner has raised price for a crappy course. Now also charging for range balls. It used to be priced low because of condition of course. Much better courses in the area for this price. Monday they didn't even have a snack bar open for water or anything.

Only thing good about this place is the range, the staff and the fairways. There is absolutely no grass around the greens so don’t even worry about trying to chip. The greens are completely dried out with sand and weeds growing all over them. Can’t believe they’re charging $75 to play here. Makes zero sense. I came here 6 months ago and the conditions were the exact same but decided to try it out again for a friends birthday. Place is on the ban list until further notice.

We have played here several times due to the layout and nice fairways. The greens need a little help but we always love the open layout ( except #2). The fairways are in great shape and it’s always nice to see the ospreys, gators and other critters on the course.

Great staff very helpful and great attitudes and course is kept

In good shape

Showed up early but no starter, did not know who I be playing with. Had to go around asking other golfers what their tee time was.Greens had no grass just weeds

This course was inexpensive so the " saying you get what you pay for" is true. I will not return. The greens were trash, horrible. It appeared that the course had not been watered in weeks. The back nine was better than the front but in general the course is not being maintained. Disappointed.

Would not play again until the greens are fixed. All 18 greens are basically unusable. Layout is fun but course needs work.

The course is super dry all around. I was there about a month ago and heard that they recently rolled the greens and they were super fast and inconsistent. Today I heard that the irrigation system is broken. The greens are impossible.

The course was in poor condition. Greens were unputtable with very hard surface as grass was cut down to a fraction of an inch with weeds throughout. Appeared that greens hadn't been watered in months. Fairways were mostly green and in average condition but the fairway roughs was totally browned out and full of weeds. Areas around sand traps were full of sand. Tee boxes were in average condition. Several single and double pairings slowed the pace of play.

The greens were destroyed. It was like putting and chipping on asphalt. They should have told us prior to paying.

Tee boxes and fairways were in good shape, but the greens were horrible. They were hard as a rock, with little tufts of grass growing up here and there. Any putts that had those tufts on your line made the putts bounce around and throw the ball off the line. I would NOT have paid $153 for me amd my buddy to play there had I known the greens were in that shape. I have no plans to play there again.
