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.

Excellent value. Greens in mostly excellent condition. Would like the mowers to be a little more aware and move to the side with people on tee.

Excellent Conditions, Friendly Staff, Fun Track To Play
Played mid-week early afternoon round using GolfNow ‘Hot Deal’.. Bought round as a single & was put in group with a threesome. Have played this course before I was pleased to find it in better than expected condition with all greens rolling fast and true. George in the Pro Shop was especially accommodating. Pace of play not good but only because the guys I played with were very slow and we fell behind pace early in the round. (This is not unusual this time of year here in SW Florida. You learn to live with it.) I would recommend this course and look forward to playing there again soon.

Unwelcomed
Get ready to be mocked for showing up early. PSA: theres no driving range: they will also make fun of you for assuming this. Sad bc course is okay, but pace of play bad and staff worse. Avoid solely bc staff makes it not welcoming for price

Great, challenging course
Have played this season from November. Great fairway conditions, but starting to show signs of lack of rain, watering and lots of play. Overall, a great value , challenging, good layout.
jrmoosecrossing1, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing River Run Golf Links.
The course was a good value
The greens were in good shape. Many of the tee boxes were basically dirt, little or no grass. For being March in Florida, the cost for playing was good value.

Enjoyed Playing this Course
My playing partner and I both enjoyed playing River Run..The Course is in good condition and attractive. Even though the carts do not have GPS, the provision of fairway yardage markers helps make up for no GPS. Staff at the course are friendly and helpful., and the fees are a good value. I look forward to playing the course again.
