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.

Fine for a city course
Summer rates are reasonable
Winter rates and pace are horrendous
But for now, good

River Run
I always enjoy this course and yesterday was another gorgeous day. I had a good round for me (80). Greens were a little too slow but consistent & the course fairways and tee areas were in good shape. I look forward to playing again!

Very Enjoyable Experience
Teed off mid-week before 11 AM as a twosome. Had course to ourselves. Finished before 2 PM (three hour round!). Course in good shape. Greens not fast but consistent and well maintained. Sand traps wet due to heavy rains over the past few days. Lee in pro shop and Floyd handling carts & starting were both friendly and helpful. Enjoyed it so much we immediately booked another round here for next week.

Course is in decent condition, pace of play was horrendous was waiting behind an older group with two kids running around the front 9. There was two walkers that were catching up to us. Cart guy sends out people regardless of tee time. Otherwise, great course for the price.
Good Condition For Mid-Summer In S. Florida
Course in decent shape. Greens slow but true. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Excellent value for the money. Recommend and look forward to returning soon.

AMAZING
Golf course was AMAZING ! For 15$ the course & greens where nice & beautiful . One of the best courses in the area highly recommended!! You won’t be disappointed
Best Bang For The Buck
We play all the public courses within 20 miles of our home. Without exception, this is the best conditioned course that we play. The greens were a little slow, but in beautiful shape. Being a muni explains the unbelievable price.

Early bird
Fairway grass was longer, ruff very long to the point of cant find ball until your on top of it, greens were terrible. Should gave brought sand bucket and shovel. Greens also had chunks of grass standing up like someone with mower dragged something and tore up the greens. Probably wont go back for awhile.
