Waterlefe Golf & River Club

Welcoming staff, beautiful course.

Makes for a perfect day of golf

Fantastic surrounding landscape and buildings, had a real high end resort feel. Course was in mint condition, Unlike many soulless Florida courses where it feels you are playing in peoples backyards, this course was in a pristine preserve. Will play again when I grace Florida again next winter with my wonderful presence....

This course ranks in my top 3 easily. Half the price of Payne’s Valley and this one tops it. Very much a spot golf type course where you have to think your way around the track. Missing on the correct side and managing your distances through the wind.

My only knock would be the speed of the greens - they could add a couple on the stimp to make this course even better.

Pace of play was amazing - 2 groups let me go past them as I was a single on back nine - enjoyed the game..just over 3 hours amazing!!

First time here and was not disappointed! Great layout with lots of beautiful homes. Greens are in good shape as is the rest of the course. Friendly staff and starter and they actually had a ranger going around although the pace was good. Will come back when time permits!

Great course , was extremely windy which makes a hard course even harder. watch out for the back 9 being extra balls.

Waterlefe is a favorite of mine. Always in great shape when I've played there. It's gotten pricey over the past few years, but worth playing if you're looking for a good challenge, scenic views, and very good conditions.

Played Waterlefe today and all in all, it was a fantastic experience! Fair warning, the course is tight with water on nearly every hole. Definitely demands precision. The course was in impeccable shape with beautiful greens, pristine tee boxes, and stunning water features. Pro shop is very nice and the staff, including the starter and the ranger, were incredibly hospitable. Most impressive was the signs stating that golfers had to maintain a steady pace of play. Every course should have that. Great place to play!

Traveled north to Bradenton from out of town for a first time round at Waterlefe. Found a great afternoon deal on GN as obviously the prices for spring golf in Florida can lean towards the steep side. This is definitely one of those scenic and well put together courses worthy of paying that little extra for an enjoyable golf experience. We played 18 holes and were paired up with a sweetheart pharmacist/doctor 2some and actually finished in just over 4 hours. Our playing partners were delightful and made the golf day memorable and fun. Was quite pleasant riding around in some upscale Lambo quality golf carts with the ultra comfy plush seats, and also GPS tech including slope indication on screen for every green. The course itself, very properly named, was well kept and challenging with plenty of water danger decisions, and in overall great condition with mint greens that are fast and rolled true . The track was worth the drive and will certainly return for a second go soon.

Most scenic course I have played in Florida and have played both coasts and Orlando. Difficult but playable until you add a 15mph wind. Of all the overinflated prices for golf in Florida this one is worth it!
