About

River Run Golf Links is a municipal course owned by the city of Bradenton. Unlike many others in the area, golfers won't have to worry about hitting homes on this non-residential course. The layout is player friendly enough for all skill levels to enjoy but it's also a fair test that is anything but boring. The two nines are referred to as the River Nine, the front, and the Pirate nine. The golf course is mostly straightforward and a pleasure to walk, although there are carts available. Ancient oak trees draped with Spanish moss provide shade and scenery throughout the course. Water has a prominent presence, coming into play on almost every hole. Some of the holes are tight and can be quite challenging but beginners can still approach River Run Golf Links with confidence.

Course In Excellent Condition (Especially The Greens)

Played mid-week, mid-day round as a threesome. Never held up or pushed, we finished in four hours. Greens and sand traps in excellent condition. Fairways and rough in “OK” shape. Staff members Lee (inside/register), Phil (carts) & Brett (starter) went “above & beyond” to help make our round a pleasant experience. Recommend this course and look forward to returning to River Run in the near future.

No time limit on 9 holers

They need to stop 9 holers after 8am.

They slow the pace after the turn. All the groups that teed off at 7 to 8 am will get bunched up at the 10th. Now your Saturday round of golf just turned into a 5 hour round. Plus there's NO ranger to speed up the play.

Decent course, decent price

Played here many times over the years and a I would say that it's in decent condition and a bit dryer than usual with no wet soggy patches on some fairways. Greens and tees are decent condition. It's no Augusta but it's a decent public course with a good layout at a decent price.
