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.

River Run is in no hurry
Decent track and good value but they continue to use alternate 7 and 8 minute tee time intervals and that can only work if you have marshals on the course to ensure pace of play. Nothing ruins the experience more than not being able to complete a round because of slow play.

Frostproof?
I really like this course and I've played it when everything was perfect, including the greens. Yesterday the greens appeared like they were camoed. I guess the frost killed the tops? They were pretty fast and bumpy as the underlying new grass was emerging. All in all, this is a great course and hopefully, the greens come back sooner with the warmer weather.

Great Value for High Quality Golf Course in Peak Season
My wife and I (75 yrs) played River Run for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed the course. Friendly welcome by Pro Shop and Starter. Yamaha gas carts were in great condition. Practice putting area and hitting cage prior to first hole. The Starter tells you which cart you are playing with and which carts you are to follow. The Starter is not at the first tee but rather stationed where carts are loaded.
We teed off 10 minutes late at 12:30 p.m. as it was a busy day. It took us 4 hrs 50 minutes to play and on one hole there were 4-5 groups on that hole. No Ranger to be seen and I asked afterwards and they advised it was a very busy day and it seems they do not use a Ranger.
The course was in superb condition, tees, rough, fairway, bunkers and Green’s were a 10 for sure. There are no houses on the course and each hole is well separated from the others. The yardage markers are not easily visible as they are flat in the fairways, no stakes. The holes are colour coded by location. No GPS in carts. There are numerous ponds but they are not really in play unreasonably. There are a couple of tight driving holes off the tee.The course is very scenic with beautiful trees throughout.
I played the whites and my wife the reds as did the other couple from Switzerland. In my opinion the reds were not sufficiently far enough forward on several holes but my wife certainly enjoyed the course and we have booked additional tee times over the next few weeks while we are in Florida.I had a tough time putting and I am normally a very good putter but the quick speed and slope got the best of me on too many of the greens.
This is a Manatee County municipal course and it is certainly a high quality golf course and well run. I strongly recommend playing here for the great $$ value in peak season.
