Nice place, friendly staff
Had a great day, soon as I pulled in the parking lot an attendant was there with a cart. Pro shop staff was very friendly. Nice practice areas - range, chipping, sand trap & putting green, balls included. Greens were fast, would hold shots that came in high, run a lot if came in low. First time in Florida so not sure of comparing grass conditions - spring like for those of us from up north. I was paired with a nice couple, non members also. Enjoyed the wildlife.
All round good course
Excellent friendly. Didn’t play at this course last year wish we had.
Great day
Very nice golf course and the staff is very friendly. It was a little slow on the front side but picked up nicely on the back. Holed out a six iron on the first hole for an eagle and the weather was perfect.
very good golf course!!!
great staff, no complaints , will play regularily!!
It only takes one.
This is a neat course. Full practice area: chip, sand, putt and range. Range balls included! Greens were in great shape and running FAST - 12ish stimpy. Fairways were also in great shape. Layout is creative. Driver can reach trouble so a three wood is best choice for a number of holes. It's almost 7000 from the tips.
Pace was marred by one group. And actually probable just one player in that group. He took so much time on the greens. Looked like they (he) were playing $500 a hole. Could of really used some ranger prodding.
But I do like this course and worth playing if you get the chance. Wait until the snowbirds have gone and play when it's really hot so the older members won't be out there.
Satisfied
Enjoyed another day at River Wilderness. The course is in great shape. Greens are fast, but put true. Staff is always wonderful. A nice touch, they have ice and water throughout the course.
Worth another shot
Friendly staff. Greens were fast and tricky on some holes. Fairways generally good. Some doglegs and rolling fairways could produce unexpected results, More plays would be a benefit and I plan on returning.
3* is enough ! Overating course
This course is over rating and to expensive fot the value...3 * is OK...If you want to give your money, please play anither place...No reqlly that I expect...Close to the Airbnb that I stay but that it
Crispy
One of the best layouts in Sarasota area. Course in great condition......EXCEPT....needs water bad, and all the fairways & fringes are cut way too tight!! Why do all these courses here "shave" their grass so short, it all burns out?? Greens, as always, were fast & true.
Not on tee sheet
All went well but realized upon arrival from starter that Golf Now partipants are worked into course play upon arrival——members move ahead of you despite being booked for a specific time.
Fast Greens
What a true challenge to putt these greens!! Loved the layout and fun, challenging day of golf with an inviting staff greeting!
Very nice golf course in the ountry
Very nice golf course out in the country. Has a nice mix of easy holes and challenging holes. the course was in good condition with fast greens.
Great layout
Very playable with room off the tee friendly staff
Great Fun Layout
We play this course regularly this Winter season as the HotDeals have been great value for the product. The Staff is friendly, accommodating and kind. ProShop Scott and Mark have been so kind. The greens are in great shape and are fast. Don't be above the hole!! Bunkers need some TLC however, manageable. When it's windy the course plays quite long. The biggest "beef"; they lock up the clubhouse and Proshop at 5 pm even with lots of groups still out, so there is no place to use the restrooms. This is unacceptable and management should correct this ASAP.
