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.

Good course
Everything was excellent but course player very very slow.
Carts
Place claims to not have enough carts to accommodate a single golfer. What’s that smell?
Very friendly staff that makes an ok course lovely
It is a course I would go play by myself in the afternoon just because I feel like to or want to focus my game by being alone. Nothing fancy, but generally in good enough shape. The starter was very friendly and we love it!
Bring extra balls
Nice course- good location near downtown Bradenton. Friendly staff- the water and narrow fairways make you pay attention
River Run Is A Fun Track
First, this place has the best staff of any course on the Suncoast. Just all nice, helpful people who make your day better. Greens were pretty true, with lots of rough pin locations. Don't be surprised to get a GIR or close, then end up with a bogey or even double. Conditions were very good. Seemed like every par 4 was 350ish, so not the most fascinating layout, but it was cool to play without houses all over the course. I'll be back for sure.
Just okay
Great people, good prices, good greens, but layout is super quirky. Lots of blind shots. Tight course in spots. Greens rolled pretty good and fairways were decent, but pretty raggedy off fairways. Tee boxes were solid Bunkers were all playable. The course was just lacking character I guess. Small putting greens and only a few nets to hit into for practice.
Surprised
Play was extremely slow. Course in mediocre shape. Greens ???? Club house closed at half way point no bathrooms!!😢 hard for ladies to pee in woods. Did see one outhouse a bit late. Need a ranger to speed up play. Saw a few groups call it a day early. Disappointed played there several times. If you going to have tee times on Christmas Eve someone should be in club house.
Florida Golf
we play this course every year as we can walk. Never know what to expect in terms of pace of play as they do not tend to match us up and they send singles and twosomes. Course in best shape we've seen in years ; greens were fantastic. will play again and hope for good pace of play.
Slow but nice
One of our favorites in the area. Pretty good condition and an imaginative layout.
Course not in good shape. Why no coolers can’t bring food or pop must from them.
Nice layout good value
Played there a number of times. Staff friendly. Greens always good.. Fairways mostly good. Some tees are a bit scruffy but still very playable. If you want to play immaculate tees, greens and fairways then go and pay $150 to play a private course but if you want and enjoyable game of golf on a nice layout in reasonable condition then give River Run a try, you will not be disappointed.
