Waterlefe Golf & River Club

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!

Greens were nice and fast. Excellent facilities, driving range, bathrooms, water stations. Started a little slow in the front 9 but the back 9 pace picked up well and finished at 4 hours.

Great course with really unique layout. Challenging with water on every hole. Really beautiful holes with some small undulation which is unique to Florida. Brand new club house that had great food.

Only complaint is the bugs were terrible. The course is on a river which makes for the beautiful layouts but recommend bringing bugs spray and wearing pants and sleeves.

The course conditions were absolutely pure. The scenery was incredible especially on the back 9. The course is difficult. On the back 9 there is a par 3 that if you don’t hit the green your basically OB. The staff was incredibly friendly and pleasant. Cart beverage service was good. Practice range and green area is nice. Great course will be playing again soon.

We were referred here from a friend. It was a well maintained course with very friendly staff. Pace of play was excellent. Don’t get comfortable with the front 9. The back 9 is a killer. Really enjoyed it, however.

I liked the front 9 and loved the back 9. The back 9 has water on both sides of most of the holes, however there is plenty playable room. I thought it was fun challenge.
