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.

Fairways were in perfect shape.Greens were just growing back from being punched. Great price for a decent course. Best County ran.
Golf
The fairways were in very good shape greens seemed a little slow little patchy but in good shape some of the tee boxes could use some work overall love this class play there a lot they've torn down a lot of the bushes and trees made it easier recommend this to anybody mostly intermediate to beginners the staff is always accommodating
Thank you for taking the time to review us, u688351455. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate your business. River Run Golf Links thanks you!
Always A Pleasant Experience At This Course
Played a late morning, mid-week round. Greens rolled true but were slower than you usually find at River Run. Very friendly staff. Bunkers need a bit of work but overall conditions were acceptable, especially for the price. Will return soon and can recommend this course.
Hello, u000005220313. Thank you for visiting us at River Run Golf Links. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
We’ll worth it
This is my favorite course. Narrow fairways and the back 9 i feel is more challenging than the front. Best value around in my eyes. Staff is friendly and has what you need but lacks high end touches which I like better.

Great course / Everything is kept up real nice well-maintained
Hi, melsack115. We appreciate you leaving a review and rating us. We will inform the entire team, so they know their hard work is paying off. We look forward to having you back at River Run Golf Links!
Best Bang for your Buck
Course is in good condition considering how much you are paying. It’s definitely the best bang for your buck in the area. The course is on the shorter side, but can be fairly narrow which evens out the difficulty. I play here regularly and will continue.
Good Conditions, Nice Greens After Recent Aeration
Played mid-week, late morning round. Had not played River Run in a few weeks as greens had been ‘punched’’ a few weeks back. Pleasantly surprised to find they have almost fully recovered and rolled true. Some tee boxes are not in great shape, and sand trap conditions vary widely (some filled with fresh sand and groomed to perfection, while others are just mud and dirt). Overall this is a very nice course and a great value. Staff (both clubhouse and cart attendants) is friendly and helpful. I look forward to playing River Run again soon.
Hi, u000005220313. Thank you so much for your feedback. We are glad you had enjoyed your time at River Run Golf Links, and pride ourselves on delivering the best experience possible.

Good value
Given the amount of play the course gets and the greens recently punched, conditions warranted a 3.5 stars. Staff was friendly too. Great value for your dollar
