public course I better as good a shape as most private courses.
Arrive a hour before tee time. They do things a little differently but it works and keeps pace. Saw the cart girl three times. Well done Miss!!! My favorite track in the Tampa Bay right now.
Good Value. Pace of play could have been better (5 1/2 hrs!). Tee sheet was jammed and had a 2some in front of our group.Oh well! Course conditions were good. Will most likely return.
River Club
Play here regularly and it is a fun course to play.
Would have been better if it wasn’t a 5 plus hour round. Waited for the group in front alot and there was at least one open hole in front of them.
Dreadfully slow
Second time I had a tee time this week the first time only played nine as it was 3 hours for nine holes Friday it was 2 hours and 1/2 hour for the first nine. 8 minute separation between teen times is not enough for the level of play at this course it just backs everything up if you don't have a 7:00 time forget about it do not recommend you play here
Great conditions and challenging course
If you’re looking for a great albeit challenging course this is it! And while most of FL is suffering through historic drought conditions, the River Club is lush and green. The maintenance team should get a bonus for their good work.
slow!!!!!!
Courses in great shape with the overseeding that isn't the problem. The problem is overbooking in Marshall's not doing their job as it is a 5-hour plus round. This is always the problem with River Club
Difficult course
In very good condition all around...fairways, greens, bunkers, practice chipping, etc. The range is fine but the method of getting there is stupid. Diff carts to take to range make double work and confusion.
Their method is this. A bag guy loads ur bag based on tee time onto a players cart. You go downstairs, then they have to take off bag and put onto a green range cart...if one is available. Otherwise, you hafta walk to range. You come back--reload playing cart.
Apparently people aren't getting to their tee times when they should-im not sure why they do so much extra work and make it a pain.
Why not just load cart once, let players take it to range, then to course..if anything have a guy or loudspeaker by range calling out next tee time, if that's the issue?
I
It's not anything major, but I would probably play here more often if it was simpler.
Thanks for your review. Unfortunately your description is NOT our course policy. We have range carts at the front of the building for all of our awesome customers to use at no expense. The range is super busy with both range and full golfing customers. You load your bag on the range cart, drive to the range, then come back and our awesome employees load your bag to your on course carts with full gps. We send out 270 players per day. A loudspeaker isn’t going to get it done. What will get it done is a substantial investment in a wonderful cart fleet all in a grid by tee time so that we can get our amazing customers situated well in advance of their tee times. We need to stay organized to get everyone off on time. Far from stupid. Stupid is not our thing. Awesome service is. I will try to get some signage up front to reinforce this. Our hard working cart staff sometimes forget to ask customers if they are going to range first. No criticisms here, we have the best employees in the business. It’s just a very busy time of year for us as we are sold out daily due to great conditions, friendly amazing employees and excellent pricing.
Solid Day
We teed off at 7am, got paired with 2 local guys! They were great, cart guys were great, one group out in front of us that flew. We played in 3 hours. Tees and fairways were nice. Greens ran nice. Layout was fun, GPS helped us quite a bit. Would definitely recommend playing super early.
Slow play
Our GPS showed we were 30 minutes behind by the 6 hole, 3 complaints to the ranger was not effective able to get the play going faster. Suggested that some groups pick up their ball & move to the next hole. Won’t be playing here again.
Pace of play
Overall, good layout, some interesting holes, good conditions, staff was excellent.
5 hours 15 minutes is too much time on the golf course!
We waited on EVERY hole on the front, three hours. A little better on the back 2 hours 15 minutes, better but still too slow…

I am sorry you had a slow golfing experience. We do not over book the course, however, it is sold out daily. We get as many complaints about our rangers asking people to keep pace as we do for slow play. We are trying our hardest and monitor play constantly. Tony
