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.

Great Value
Always a good value. Greens were a little beat up and a couple of tee boxes were rough, but I've never been disappointed.

Great for early morning 9 holes of quality golf
This is one of the few courses that allow for 9 holes. Course is solid and everyone is courteous. Only downside is there are no practice facilities other than a putting green and nets

Fun Course, Would Play There Again
Greens were in nice shape, even though they had been punched and sanded less than two weeks prior. All rolled true and there were very few bare spots. Sand traps were in very poor condition, bordering on unplayable. Fairway grass was sparse but a few days of summer Florida rains will take care of this situation. Tee boxes were in OK Condition. It did appear that there is still debris from Hurricane Ian piled up in some areas on the course (between fairways), and one of the cart paths (leading from the 8th green to the 9th tee) is still closed and overgrown from hurricane damage. Staff could not have been friendlier or accommodationg. For the price this is a good course and I look forward to playing it again..

For a public course, the condition was mediocre at best. Upon arrival, there was no assistance with our clubs, which not a big deal for us but may be for others.
The pace of play was horrendous. Took two of us to play 18 holes, 4.5 hrs.
I definitely would not give this course a 4.0 rating.

Good Conditions, Great Value
Played early afternoon weekend round as a twosome. Were paired with a single. Finished in less than four hours. Friendly and accommodating staff (especially Doug in the clubhouse). Several greens had a few dead patches but overall conditions were acceptable. Recent changes to dry out the problematic wet areas in several fairways appear to be working. Can recommend this course and hope to play here again soon.
