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, excellent course to support a Muni
Staff was very friendly
In hreat shoae considering all the loss of trees etc due to the huricane
Would definitely olay again
Good Value at a Nice Course
The greens are in excellent condition and the fairways were well manicured. The staff was friendly as well. Played the round in just over 3.5 hours.
Great Morning
We have been looking for a moderately challenging course to play 9-holes in the area and I think we found it. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The course was in good shape and challenging. We will come back to play this gem, again.
1st time playing River Run
Really enjoyed playing River Run for the first time. For the cost I was extremely pleased with the course. The staff were very friendly. We will definitely be playing there again when we travel to the area!
Awesome Experience
The staff were friendly and the course was excellent. Played with a gentleman from Scotland and he was a joy to play with. He had played the course before and was very helpful with details of the course. Will definitely play here again. Price was exceptionally good.
Fun Course To Play, Great Value
Pace of play was slower than usual and a few sand traps still need some work but otherwise this was an ‘as expected’ round at River Run. Course is drying out from recent hurricane and heavy rains. Greens holding and rolling true. Staff works hard to make it a pleasant experience. Good value. Recommend this course.
Fair play
Fairways are in decent shape. Greens in good condition. Traps have been raked. The course is in pretty good shape compared to other courses in the area. And for the price you can't go wrong.
Good test of golf
Thoroughly enjoyed the course and a massive improvement from the last time we played in 2019. Course in really good condition and greens very true. Play was quite slow 4 hours 40 mins for the round. Had a problem with credit/debit card transaction at booking in which delayed matters. Other guests had same problem. Will definitely return.
Good layout
Some really enjoyable holes with interesting doglegs. A few challenging drives with tree lined fairways requiring good positional play. Not always a driver required. An enjoyable round only slightly marred by slow play of those in front who wholly ignored the hole by hole instructions not to take buggies close to greens/tees.🙄
Greens In Good Condition
Played late morning weekend round which was booked on-line. We were met at bag drop by staff member Randy Palmer, who was friendly, helpful & accommodating (as was Eileen, who was working inside the clubhouse). Course was not crowded and in much better shape than in the recent past as a lack of daily rains has allowed it to dry out quite a bit. Tee boxes were in decent shape. Greens were in good shape, rolling true and holding incoming shots. Sand traps were not up to standards, with some being groomed and playable while others were almost hardpan. Overall this is a good and challenging course and a great value for the money. We look forward to returning soon.
Stay Away
They would not let me go off as a two-some and demanded I play with another couple. I am a female golfer and do not enjoy playing with others as I have had bad experiences. The starter was rude and yelled at me. I said I would be patient and go off at another time. He said no. The course would not refund my money and I ended up leaving and went and played another course which had friendly staff and were accommodating.
Asking to go off as a two-some is not a big deal and I was willing to wait.
