Waterlefe Golf & River Club

Let's start with the fact that I've been a member here for over 15 years, and have played the course over 1,500 times.

The greens were redone over the summer of 2023 and they are PERFECT, but very firm. Low flighted approach shots are not going to stick.

There is plenty of water and many approach shots require a forced carry. The fairways are generous off the tee, it's that second shot that will challenge you on almost every hole.

We played a lot of reciprocal golf over the summer, and universally couldn't wait to be able to return to play WG&R when it reopened at the beginning of October.

If you like very firm fast near perfect greens you are in luck.everything else is just as nice but the greens were like playing at home after rolling the greens for a tourney.

The other renewal is the clubhouse is nearly gutted and being updated

So after the round we sat outside under a canopy which was a just perfect solution to the remodel.

Unfortunately the noseeums won out last evening. By 530pm they were horrible. Literally ruined a great day there.

The course is challenging so bring your A game. The course conditions were excellent. My issue was we were directed to start on the 10th hole. This is a big issue, the back nine, starting with the 10th hole, is very difficult. If we started on the front 9 we would have been better prepared for the back 9. Bring plenty of golf balls, when the wind is up (like it was for us) the long Carrie’s over water are extremely demanding.

In summary, I enjoyed the challenge, I had sufficient quantity of balls but starting on the backside set us up for failure,

New greens since I last played this course, and I love them. Friendly staff and decent pace of play for a Saturday afternoon during season.

We really enjoyed the course, it was in great condition. The new greens were very fair and nice to putt on, much better than the last time we played. Experience was spoiled by finding that there are major changes being made to the club house. This meant that there was no pro shop, temporary toilets, food and drink was available from a temporary facility, the beer cart was poorly stocked and the payment was made in the buggy parking area. It would have been good to know this when booking as we would have been better prepared.

Waterlefe is a great golf course, fairways and greens were awesome. Clubhouse is being renovated but they have offered good accommodations. Bathroom facilities are in a trailer, food truck has wide variety of food, drinks, breakfast wraps, beer, and there is a covered sitting area for plenty of guests. Worth the wait….but until complete - the course is in great shape and fun layout!

Especially the back 9 are very challenging and pretty! Great course! We always come back!

180$ for the round (two people) + 100$ for 2 bags rental (mandatory). Food truck and no clubhouse. Not what we expected.

Beautiful course. Tee boxes and fairways in great shape. Clubhouse is closed during renovations. I didn't like starting on 10. Hated the rock hard greens. Impossible to hold. Ball bounces off into the woods.

I’m an average golfer but had a fun time, we only played 9 holes and that’s all I can handle lol I only lost 3 balls, I think we are going to play once a week , maybe even take a few lessons, then I will keep score !
