Waterlefe Golf & River Club
Rating Snapshot
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!

Awesome track!
Waterlefe lived up to its name with water as the main trouble on the course. But the course layout is fair and all the trouble is right in front of you- no surprises. The course was in phenomenal shape with lush fairways and speedy greens. A must play!
Awesome
First time playing here and was very impressed. Extremely tough course and in very good condition. Employee said they had recently renovated the bar/dining area and I was very impressed. Will play again
This course is in great condition
This course is one of the very best golf courses in Bradenton, it may even be the best. Excellently maintained and perfect fairways and greens. It's fun to play in the immediate vicinity of the Manatee River with many great water hazards. The service staff, starting with the bag drop on arrival, through the very friendly and professional starter to the courteous people when returning the cart. Not to forget the perfectly renovated clubhouse. You feel like you're at home. Thank you for this fantastic round? I will come back as soon I can!
SLOW Greens
The greens at this course are easily the slowest in the entire area. Ridiculously slow. Greens collars are not able to be putted from. They used to be very fast and awesome, but no longer. Fairways should be mowed much tighter than they are...you sometimes don't know if you're in the rough or the fairway.
Really enjoyed my round
Staff was very friendly and attentive. Course was in good shape. I did like the layout and felt it was a somewhat tough but a very fair course. The 18th hole is a nice finish to this course. Greens rolled true. It wasn't as busy during the time I played so the pace of play was good. I would definitely play again at this course.
Very nice club house , new
Course was beautiful. The new clubhouse was very attractive, and the people were fantastic to deal with.
Waterlefe!!!
Great course. Played the round with a couple of members so they giving me some good advice being it was my first time playing the course. Greens were great , the entire course was great. They have soda machines along with an ice and water machine in a few spots around the course. Found out during the round that the course was once a PGA qualifier. Great round of golf I will definitely be back
Nice Layout good pace of play
The course may have been renovating so the pro shop was a little garage. Food was out of a small food truck. The fairways and tees were nice no bald spots. Greens were slow, but in good condition. Carts were comfortable w GPS. Pace of play was strictly enforced and we kept moving did about a 4.5 hour round no delays.
Nicely surprised and will play again
It was our first time and were very happy with
everything, Staff, course condition and pace of
play and the price also. Looking forward to getting back there to play again
Great course
Excellent course, well groomed, tough layout with plenty of water but super fun!
