Great layout
First time playing this course. Challenging layout. Pace of play was slow
River Club mid January
Do not book this through this website.
We had a 1.32 booking and it took nearly 3 hours to do 9 holes, they cram too many golfers in, and made us feel bad because we booked through an agent. We could not finish the course because it was too dark. Do nit play after 1pm at latest unless you only want to play 15/16 holes.
The course is in very good condition though, but wouldn’t play again because of the wait on each and every hole.
River Club is a beautiful Course at a great price
I recently had the pleasure to play at the River Club which is located off of Route 70 in Bradenton. I found the course to be very challenging and quite beautiful. The staff was very friendly and accommodating from the minute I dropped off my bag at the bag drop, till they greeted me at the end of the day to take my cart.
The course has a great driving range to warm up.
We played Our around in just about four hours and we were able to get some food at the halfway house. There was also a beverage cart that we saw several times while on the course.
After the round of golf we went into the restaurant and had some food and drinks. The staff iwas very friendly and attentive.
I highly recommend anyone in the area to give the River Club a try. It’s a great value for some really great golf.
Great track
Very pleased with the pace of play, the condition of the greens and fairways,. My new favorite course in the area. The layout has me using my full portfolio of clubs.
Thanks again to the staff for another fun round.
Enjoyable Afternoon
I thoroughly enjoyed playing the Preserve. The course was in good condition. Most importantly the staff was very professional and exceptionally friendly and helpful.
5 STARS
Terrible Service
Owner made it quite clear from the beginning that he did not care for Golf Now golfers. Would not let the Golf Now golfers Check in or put their bags on the golf carts until 5 minutes before their tee time. Then when I complained about the inconvenience, told me I had an attitude. He was just waiting for a reason to have me thrown off the golf course. Would not recommend this golf course to any Golf Now members. Also,I would recommend Golf Now to terminate their relationship with this owner. It's my understanding that he also owns Greenfield Plantation and i have no doubt the treatment would be the same there. I will not book a tee time there to find out.. This is the first and last time I will book a tee time at either of this owners golf courses.
Greens are rolling great and the staff was very friendly
Challenging course and fun to play I recommend this course and the 19rh hole has good drinks and food for after. Also picked up pro v’s in the pro shop for $15
Great track
Well run course with great layout. Staff was excellent, kept us moving.
Fun Course
The course seemed to be in fairy good shape. We played in the afternoon but was still pretty busy probably because of a holiday week. So they were short on carts. We were a threesome and the started wanted to add a solo player to our group, which makes sense. But the solo player started arguing with the starter that he wanted his own cart because of Covid! We tried to tell him that we are all vaccinated and outside, but then he started yelling at us that we can't prove we are safe. Finally, the started just gave him his own cart even though they were short of carts. So we got stuck playing with this person and it was very uncomfortable! If it wasn't for this incident I would rate 5 stars. Also, the bartender working did not know how to make a simple Martini. If you ordered anything other than beer or a shot, it was not happening.
Thanks for your comments, but it sounds like our staff did everything just perfectly. I understand you had issues with the playing partner, but perhaps you could give the course the 5 stars you said it deserved in your review. There is nothing we could have done about this player. He is not affiliated with our course. Come visit again! Tony
Player patience
Guests like myself should be more patient and Nader standing with staff. I witnessed a man treat the starters very badly. I would have denied him access. But the staff accommodated the jerk with great apple. Oh yeah, don’t forget to tip these guys.
Thanks for your thoughtful comments. We have over 200 players per day and 99% of them are WONDERFUL. It you can see from the reviews posted here from time to time, there is always 1 jerk per day. It’s part of life working at a golf course, as anyone in the industry will tell you! The good news is that we have THE BEST and friendliest staff in town, and they all take it in stride. As the owner, if I see anyone being disrespectful to my awesome team, I will remove them from the course. Thanks again. Tony
No excellence here. I would have settled for good, got less than fair.
Slow, crowded, odd layout, mediocre conditions.
Barely saw a river but that’s no biggie.
Sorry you did not enjoy the course. Surprised by your comments about the layout and conditions. People are complimenting me about it daily. Just bought the course 3 years ago, and the crew has done an amazing job getting it fixed back up while keeping prices super low. If there is anything I can do, please email me at Tony@greenfield.golf
The guy bought a hot deal at 1:30 PM and came 90 minutes before his tee time wanting to be sent out as a single. Classy. He was told to check in 15 minutes prior to his tee time PER GOLF NOW’s POLICY. He then tried to get a key from the starter, who referred him back to the pro shop as we had other customers with tee times that he needed to get out on the course. Then he came back in the pro shop, and started acting in a disrespectful manner because none of his well worn tricks were working. I asked him if he read his email confirmation from Golf Now that highlights all of their policies, and he told me” I’m done listening to you”. At this point he was advised to be polite, or he would be asked to leave. We have nothing to do with hot deals and we can’t send you off an hour and a half earlier than your tee time as a single in the middle of season when the course is sold out. It not shocking to me that this golfer couldn’t find anyone to play with him. Rude and disrespectful to hard working locals who are providing affordable golf and great conditions. Please, take your act elsewhere. You will be running out of courses soon due to the way you treat people.
