Waterlefe Golf & River Club

Waterlefe is always in great shape and was very challenging with gusty winds but it was a Blast! We’ll definitely be back!!

This was my first time playing Waterlefe. I would love to play it again now thst I have seen it. There is plenty of water everywhere to cause trouble. However with better course knowledge its definitely fair and playable. The greens were in excellent condition. They rolled true and were extremely fast! Its definitely a course I would recommend playing.

Great shape, great layout, great pace of play. Nothing but great things to say about it.

The course was playing about as good as it can with all of the rain we’ve had these past few weeks. The greens rolled true and fast, fairways were in good shape, and the rough was penalizing = we will Most Definitely be back!!

Easily one of the hardest course I’ve ever played and I loved every minute of it. It was a very wet round but generally speaking the course took the water very well — and several of my balls found all the water that didn’t come from the sky.

I got a great deal but would happily come back and lay full rack rate.

Love this course, wry challenging but well worth playing. I would highly recommend this course.

Everyone was friendly and made you feel welcomed. Great customer service and beautiful course but a lot of water

The greens have been aerified recently. This was not mentioned when I booked the round. Greens were very bumpy and unpredictable. I like this course in general, but I will wait a month before returning. GolfNow gets one star rating for lack of reporting the condition of the greens at the time of booking. The value of this round,in my opinion, was less than half the rate at the time of booking.

I teed off late yesterday for a solo round. The facilities were beautiful and modern, staff was friendly, and for the price, the course was truly a steal. Many holes wind in and out of the canals of Bradenton with beautiful homes and boats almost everywhere. I played from the tips, and it’s definitely a shot makers course, with lots of marshland, forests and waterways around, but still open enough to be very fair from the closer tee boxes. The greens were hilly with loads of subtle breaks- I learned I needed to spend a lot of time reading them before putting. Definitely an enjoyable challenge.

I walked away thinking over and over- what an interesting, interesting course- and I mean that in the most complimentary way. Definitely recommend.

Played a late morning weekend round. We hadn’t played here in several years and were pleased to find it as enjoyable as we remembered. Were greeted warmly, and taken good care of, upon arrival by Will & Curry (carts). Course was mostly cart path only due to ongoing rains throughout the week before so pace of play was very slow. However, it was truly worth the waits as Waterlefe is one of the more scenic and interesting courses you will ever play. Bring your ‘A’ game plus extra balls. Highly recommend this course and hope to be able to play there again soon.

First time playing the course and we have nothing bad to say about it. Course is in excellent condition. Back 9 have some challenging holes where course management is critical. We’re average golfers but the tee options fit all levels. Highly recommend
