River Run Golf Links

Great cart guys and the whole staff ! Prices are very reasonable will be back !

The coach

I’ve criticized this course previously for not managing or even monitoring their pace of play but my last round tee’d off slightly ahead of schedule and the pace was good throughout. The course manager continues to make improvements to the layout that will allow a little more forgiveness and improve the experience. Great value proposition. I shall return.

Arrived early 2:45pm for a 3:30pm start. Lady at the sign in register would not give me a receipt until 3;15pm. The starter was going to start us a little early because we were a foursome, paying for 18 holes.We we would not get 18 holes in when they started a threesome, a twosome 3:22 ahead of us playing 9 holes. Then being told to have carts back by 6:30.WE did. ENough dayligh to play two more holes. Ended up only playing 12 holes. GOLF NOW players are second class citizens at River Run Golf Links

Played here about 3 times now very well maintained and also very busy! Just make sure for your tee time that you are there 15-20 min early especially in the morning I would recommend 30 min prior to tee time

Course was in very good shape. The greens were very good for rolling putts and they held very well. Would come back to this course in the future.,

Had a really good day with nice weather and good friends

Pace is always a problem this time of year. Higher price to wait around. Nature of beast I guess but sucks some of fun out the round and can’t really get a rhythm so scores suffer.

This is the third time we’ve played this course, we like the layout and staff, pace of play remains an issue, getting a little better.

The greens were super fast. Tough to get any workable backspin. They need to" lush" them up, for sure.. like putting on a driveway

Fast, hard greens. Slow seasonal play. If you prefer playing faster more affordable rounds just wait till April. River Run is fun to play off season but too crowded at this time of year when you have to wait before every shot. Leave the driver at home and just keep it in play on this hazard filled layout. Bunkers are consistent.

Tee areas in good shape. The course has practice nets and balls for pre-round warm up and a practice green that is faithful to course conditions.

River Run was playing fast and hard. The greens were very hard and consequently quick. The green surface was so hard that it was even difficult to repair ball marks with a digit tool. Consequently, many of the greens had a plethora of ball marks that had not been repaired thus causing the ball to occaisionally roll off line. The fairways were also running fast due to dry winter conditions which made the course shorter. Bunkers had consistent sand conditions although some could stand to use a little deeper sand. The tees were in pretty good conditions. Pace of play was pretty slow (as expected) with seasonably crowded conditions filled with winter rusty golfers.😊

River Run is fun to play & during the winter season they occaisionally offer affordable prices through GolfNow as opposed to most sky-high rates in and around the Bradenton/Sarasota area at this time of year.

I booked my T time throught GolfNow. I arrived ~30 before my scheduled T time. When I checked I was rushed to th 1st tee to join a twosome on the tee box. I didn't realize until the 6 hole that they were only playing 9 holes. I get to the 10th T box and there's nothing but foresomes as far as I can see. I was a single being sandwiched between foresomes? I elected to quit and not wait on every hole. If the starter had just left me in the foresome I was scheduled with all would have been good. I know they're over booking but taking my money and leaving a bad taste in the customers mouth will come back to bite you...eventually. I'll sped my money elsewhere.
