Nice Track

Use to be private but now open to the public during snowbird season. Course has been in good shape all season. Plenty of room off the tee despite it being more treed than most FL. courses. Greens r always in good shape albeit a bit smaller than most. Great value during snowbird season. Par threes r tough from the blue tees. A must try.

Always Good

This was 4th time playing the course. Solid layout. Fair test of golf. Medium fast greens with subtle breaks. Not punishing, but good mix of water and sand strategically placed. Great pace of play. Today 3:45. Welcoming staff at desk and friendly starter.

Hope to play it again.

Quality

I spent a little extra to play this course because a friend told me it was worth it. He was right . Probability the nicest course I have played. I was teamed up with some players who were very familiar with the course and they were extremely helpful with shot direction and hidden hazards. I loved this course and will keep my eyes open for another opportunity to play it again.

Great layout, great staff, course conditions......

Loved the layout. The mature trees, uniqueness of each hole; but the course conditions were not up to standard. Still an enjoyable day. And the restaurant after the round was very goof

Great course in great condition

The course is in excellent condition. Greens were fast but fair and fairways were well maintained. Tee box’s were level and grass covered. The bathrooms on the course were as nice as my house. Hole 2 and 16 are challenging tee shots. I plan to replay River Wilderness soon.

Wonderful course!

We so enjoyed our round! First of all, staff is fabulous and so professional. From front desk who offered great information and was so welcoming, to starter who was so helpful and gracious- seriously, best start to a round. Both men were so very accommodating (wish I’d caught their names). Very efficient and organized and very professional. We were impressed.

Only problem was pace got a bit slow - or so we thought. We actually completed our round in 3.5 hours!

It’s a really nice course, surrounded by beautiful homes and lots of trees with Spanish moss. Picturesque. Back nine was especially fun. Interesting and challenging holes and greens.

We will most definitely play this again. Highly recommended.

Have you finished exercising.

Had a great time on the golf course today. There was nothing wrong with the over all pace of play. However it was a little start and stop. 7 times my Apple Watch asked me if I had finished exercising,

Golf Day of Fun and Challenge

I try to play this course at least once a month if rates drop to make it affordable! Love the layout and friendly atmosphere! It’s great to warm up with hitting range balls beforehand and practice putting before actual tee time.
