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.

Golfer Reviews
Worth all 18
I loved the course because...tee boxes had grass and level, grass in fairways, well groomed, drinking water, ball washers, smooth cart paths and my favorite....its quiet!
Good Course
The workers are great, I have to start with that. The course is challenging, but the rain causes it to have some wet areas that cannot be mowed. Not a problem if you hit the ball where it should go.
Wait
I play this course because of its proximity to me and cost. This course is my hidden gem, just not right now. We've had a lot of rain lately and it was like playing in a swamp. Won't be back for a few weeks.
River Run
The rough has tall grass and easy to lose balls. The balls have a tendency to drop down in tall grass making it difficult to hit out of the grass... would like to see grass cut closer to ground.
Great Value
Course was in great shape especially considering the price to play. The staff was excellent and I definitely plan to play this course again!
The grass in the rough is very problematic. It's very easy to lose your ball because the type of grass there is much too high.
Mow the grass around the fairways lower ... A LOT
Good course for the money
Fun course to play, not too long not executive course. Greens consistent and in pretty good shape as are fairways and tee boxes. I recommend this course to many golfers!

Course is good condition but slow round. 4 plus hours.
Great Experience
What a great public golf course! Conditions were fantastic, greens rolled nice, not fast, not slow. Fairways and rough both as nice as the weather allows. Their bunkers are manicured and fluffy, by far the best I’ve played down in this area. Interesting holes, some very scenic. I will play here any chance I get. Keep it up.
It's time to smarten up the young ones...
The course is in great shape. The problem I have is with slow not caring what's behind them older players who just wander off the green, knowing there are people waiting and not caring. And then behind us we had a threesome who kept sending balls our way on the fairway until we corrected them on the 18th. One ball came extremely close to us and because of that I sent to drive midfairway not knowing that the ball came from them and almost hit my partner. Dangerous games these fools play. They need to be corralled
Nice Course
Nice enjoyable golf course, but not perfect. Great value.
