Beautiful course
One of the best I’ve played this season. Very nice layout and is in great shape. I just wish I could hit my irons 🥴
Course and how we see it!
Played first thing this morning and it was great! The staff at the bag drop and the carts I will give a big thumbs up. The course is in great condition and the greens are fast and true. The front shop and the restaurant staff were very friendly and accommodating! Thanks for a great day!
Bad experience
Our experience was not good. It started with being informed our tee time had been pushed back 16 minutes without giving us any notice. Their excuse was that more than expected members had scheduled to play. Worse yet was the process of dropping bags off. They were taken and placed in a waiting queue to be loaded on carts. No explanation for how the process worked. When we tried to load our golf bags on unused carts we were rudely chastised for jumping the gun and told to wait out turn.
It got worse. The course used tee times 8 minutes apart. The result was waiting on every tee, sometimes for 2 or 3 groups. Result was over a 5 hour round.
We will not be back.
So many rules I felt like I was back in grade school
Starter was not friendly. Too many rules. No you can’t have a cart. Put your clubs over there. I’ll put them on the cart when I’m ready. No you can’t have a key to the cart to go get your clubs. No you can’t drive to the first hole until the people have tee’d off. New carts with gps are a pain in the you know what. Constantly shutting off due to you driving to your ball. Pace of play was ridiculous. Waited on every hole. Would have been a 5 hr round if we could have finished before dark. They have a ranger but never saw him until dark seeing if everyone was finishing up. I will not go back.
Of course we do not allow people to drive up to first tee while others are teeing off. And like many courses, we do have cart controls in place to prevent people driving too close to greens. Our entire staff is extremely friendly and professional. For anyone else reading this, please see other current reviews about our great prices, great conditions and friendly staff. Thanks.
Great course
Everything was great we had perfect weather good company greens where quickest and most undulating I have played yet here in Florida
Overbooked
Course is in reasonable condition and staff friendly. Problem is - like many of these Florida courses-
they pack people in. 8 minute tee intervals combined with the normal lost balls in the Florida water hazards and you have yourself a 5 hour round. Not a marshall in sight.
Sorry you had a bad experience. 8 minute tee times is certainly not “overbooked”. If golf courses move to 10 or more minute intervals cost will increase for our awesome customers. Trying to find balance and doing the best we can. 4 hour rounds this time of year is our goal.
Rude staff
I've played here a couple times and the staff was incredible rude each time. The cheese is in decent condition. B greens need a little work with some dead spots and invasive grass growing in. The electric dyed twice fire the group in front of me. I actually had to their one guys bags on to my cart and I joined their threesome. If you like being treated like crap then please go here
Anyone who golfs at The River Club knows our staff is the friendliest in town. We treat everyone like a member. Our customer base is fiercely loyal, and we love all of them. Not sure what the issue was here, but I get compliments on or amazing employees daily. please see other recent reviews for a better understanding of our employees commitment to the customer.
Sarasota snowbird
Way too slow play. I think too many foursomes scheduled per hour. Painful, had to quit after 9 could not stand the slow pace. Would not come back unless I read better things in the future.
All carts on lined up in tee time order. When you go to a golf course, speak to the staff starting a the bag drop. they can explain everything to you. Same in the pro shop. Not all courses have the same policy, and many do not allow carts in parking lots anymore. For anyone else reading this, we have great rates, great conditions and the friendliest staff in town. We just need to stay organized this time of year to make sure we get everyone off on time.
