The River Club

The river club was in surprisingly great shape. The only downside was the pace of play did not allow us to finish by dark. The price was reasonable for this time of year.

Staff could be more friendly. Ridiculous situation with the driving range and not being able to drive your cart over but having to take a separate cart or walk. For $60 it’s fine but wouldn’t play this again. Better choices in Sarasota.

Course in good shape. Greens are running true and fast with just 1-2 having a small blemish. Great course for the money Is now on my play list.

Quality check in and help with bags to cart. Started on time and finished in under four hours! Fairways and greens were excellent. Sand bunkers were inconsistent. Round was comfortable and enjoyable!

Fantastic condition. A year or so ago the course was struggling with conditions but good lord did they turn it around! Played Thursday at 9:08. Got around in 4 hours. Saw ranger at least 5 times and cart girl 4 times.

Played from the tips - tough lines off the tee. Can’t hit a stock fade every hole which is a nice challenge. They definitely cut some trees down because course felt more open than it had in the past. Fairways lush even without any rain for months. Greens soft but ran moderately fast and true.

Can’t wait to come back again. Left myself short sided a few times - course knowledge helps especially on approach shots.

Highly recommend - put the conditions up against Calusa, Azario and Rosedale. It’s on that level right now.

The course is great to practice strategy, some of the holes makes you think about every single shot before you even tee off. The couse is always in great conditions and well taken care of

This course was in such great condition, hard course but it’s so fun to just play with your friends. The greens were really nice, so were the fairways.

The staff here are amazing — super friendly, helpful, and always make you feel welcome. The course itself is beautiful and really kept. It’s always a great experience thanks to the awesome team and the great atmosphere!

This course is a fantastic ! The layout is amazing the course conditions are fantastic. The staff is outstanding. The driving range is grass and big and lots of targets. The putting green is great as well. They do a great deal on Mondays with the pro Tim and I would give it a try. Overall it is a 10 out of 10

I’m having a hard time rating this course overall because there were both positives and negatives. On the positive side, the course has great character and was in decent shape. However, the pace of play was extremely slow — our round took nearly 4.5 hours, and at several holes, multiple groups were waiting on the tee boxes. The biggest disappointment, though, was our interaction with the GM at the front desk. He was very rude and unwelcoming, which left a poor first impression. Someone with that attitude should not be the first person a paying customer encounters.

First, the price. For $35 or so for a noon tee time, I was skeptical on quality of course. Ive played dog tracks that charge $40+. This course was largely superb all around. The Eagles up in Odessa charges more than this course(I think double) and is, in my opinion, half the quality. The greens were tricky to figure out on the front, but likely because im bad and they offer a challenge, which is fun. Everyone that worked here that we interacted with was super friendly and super helpful. Water coolers throughout the course, cart service, and a "half way" snack shack with burgers/dogs/beverages. I can see why this course stays busy. If they keep providing this level of value and customer service, I will gladly drive the hour and 20 minutes to come back regularly. The layout is tight and challenging, but feels very rewarding when you play smart shots. Well done, keep up the good work

Everyone we encounter could not have been nicer. The course was fun to play and was in very good condition. Excellent value. We had lunch afterwards and I would also highly recommend. Great day
