Waterlefe Golf & River Club
About
Inspired by the backdrop of the Manatee River, Ted McAnlis has created the ultimate golf experience with the perfect combination of beauty and challenge. Waterlefe Golf & River Club is built along a particularly beautiful section of the Manatee River, complete with wide expanses of pristine marshes and pleasant coves. Don't be surprised if on the 15th tee you spot a family of manatees poking noses up for a breath of air. The golf course was designed with a great deal of time, effort and expense going toward protecting and resorting the natural environment that gives the course it unique character. The gently sloped greens with the newest Tifteagle Bermuda offer the ultimate in putting. From a lazy start on the par-5 first hole to the big finish on the 18th hole island green, golfers love Waterlefe Golf & River Club!

Excellent course somewhat challenging
The course was in excellent conditions, the layout is very nice and preserve the beautiful nature that surrounds it. There is water and many sand traps.
Enjoyable course
Good course, water adds a challenge to missed drives, but forgiving landing areas
A+++
Not only was the staff very friendly, they helped accommodate my request of playing as a single player with my wife riding along. Other courses in the area were requesting I pay for a foursome to play as a single (even when not busy). So on top of the quality staff service, the course was phenomenal condition and layout etc. Will 100% recommend and I'm picky
Awesome golf course, can't wait to play it again!
Awesome golf course, can't wait to play it again! Lots of water was a challenge, however the course layout and conditions were excellent and very playable! Staff were friendly and hole 19 bar and drinks were a lot of fun afterwards!
Nice course.
Getting pricey as the course edges out non-members. Still, a fine test of golf with nice staff and a challenging course.
Awesome course
First time at this course with three friends, on vacation, absolutely beautiful, sure we all lost a few balls because of all the water but that did not bother any of us because this course is really fantastic and was in great condition. The layout and scenery and also the staff was top notch although we tipped the older guys $10 who put our clubs on our carts and mine fell off after 4 holes but I keep head covers on all my clubs so no harm done.
A must play if your in the Bradenton area, we drove over from St. Pete Beach, worth the drive.
Always a great course
It's always a challenge and in great shape. Only complaint is for the last 6 months you get to #10 and it becomes a stand still.
Absolutely beautiful course and scenery. A fun course with challenging holes. Can’t wait to return and play again!
