Golf
Considering the lack of rain this course is in great shape fairways were good bit of a role 90% of the greens are in great shape t boxes could use some reshaping the layout a lot of fun workable. Clubhouse staff is very good kudos to our waitstaff I believe her name is Michelle will go back
Good test
Played the Blues at 6300+. Course was in good condition. Greens and tee boxes were in very good shape.. Pace was great. Water and OB narrowe the landing zones a bit so it’s not wide open for beginners. Fun course.
Golf
I do recommend this course it was in great shape considering we hadn't had any rain in two months. The layout has just enough difficulty for all levels of play. The bar restaurant has a good selection of foods and good cocktails. Greens and fairways are in very good shape most tea boxes the same enjoy your round have a cocktail afterwards.
River club
Local player, but haven’t been here since April. Course was in good shape, went out early Sunday, pace was fine as well.
Great course
They did a great job getting course back in shape after winter crush, greens are in good condition fairways are in good condition tight course challenging
Nice layout
Greens are nice, fairways good overall the course is back in fine shape after winter crush, everybody is super nice
Nice course
Good course, an interesting layout, would definitely play here again.
Good Day For Golf
Started off with excellent customer service from the bag drop to the greeting at the cashier. Well-maintained practice facility. Pace of play was great. everything was well-maintained from tees to green will definitely be back.
Summer Golf
Course was in very good condition. Recently punched greens were somewhat troubling but, playable. San traps were inconsistent. Overall good condition considering the lack of rain!
This course is just okay
The layout is okay. The course was not in very good shape. Greens were recovering from being punched. The fairways were average at best. The rough and fringe were thin and hard. The tees need plenty of help as well. The club house is in need of a facelift. The staff that I interacted with was friendly. Overall This felt like it should be 20 bucks for unlimited golf type of course.
River club bradenton
Nice conditions both greens and fairways. Holes all a very similar look, nothing really that stands out as far as layout.
Needs major upgrade
Greens had bare spots and were recently punched. Many brown spots in fairways that were sprayed for weeds. Course needs major overhall to improve conditions.
We do have to do our summer maintenance to keep the greens healthy. The course has received a major upgrade in the last three years and is not known to be one of the best vale’s in town. Wonderful layout, great conditions, and the best staff in Bradenton. We have completed our last aerification for the year. Come out and enjoy the wonderful conditions.
I will Go Back!
The tee boxes and fairways (and rough) were in very good condition. Same with the MAJORITY of the greens (even though they had aerated about a week ago). First time playing, but I Will Go Back and play again and again.
Love this course
There have been many upgrades to this course. It has always been one of my favorite over the years.
For anyone else reading this review, it is necessary this time of year to aerate greens to keep them healthy. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we want everyone to have excellent experiences throughout the year. We are getting compliments daily from the customers on the greens, fairways and the restaurant. Friendliest staff in town, and great prices. Thanks.
