Waterlefe Golf & River Club

Excellent course. Well groomed.. Beautiful views. Challenging.

If you’re going to spend the money to play a nice course, this is the course to do it at. Friendly staff, observant Rangers, beautiful course layout , and challenging, but fair.

Unfortunately, some bridges and holes were damaged in the last storm. This should have been made public knowledge prior to booking the round on Golfnow. There was one temporary green, the signature par 3 was closed, and a temporary tee area was being used on another hole. The conditions of the rest of the course were fabulous. I always enjoy playing Waterleaf, I just wish there was some transparency in the condition prior to arrival.

One of the best courses I've played in Florida this year. Everything was great about this course no complaints whatsoever.

Obviously it's the rainy season. Some of the holes were cart path only. To be expected. Difficulty level high.

Extremely challenging.

All on all, beautiful golf course.

Will be back

The staff is awesome at this course, the course is great, they’re renovating the club house but I don’t care much about that. Always a challenge

This course is beautiful. There were zero areas of concern. From tee boxes to fairways to greens...and even the rough and hazards (which apparently were my favorite areas)...all were exceptionally manicured. Carts were GPS-equiped with generous rough-area governors.

The pro shop and bar area were under massive renovation and expansion, so food was limited to a food truck and cart service.

As far as level of difficulty, the back 9 is unforgiving. If you hit straight (short or long) then you can really enjoy the course. If not, the cart does have Tito's among other libations.

Would love to play it again...and will.

I made 1 h 30 for playing a golf course with fast green and nobody telling me at the moment of my reservation

First time playing. Challenging course. Greens recently aerated but fairly puttable. Course conditions great. I lke the bathroom stations after every few holes for ice and water. Clubhouse\proshop doesn't really exist. Practice area off mats into water, fine. Decent pace, waited a few minutes on each tee box. No wow factor or anything with staff, just normal flow of golf process. $60-$80 for a round here is good value i think. Over $100 starts pushing it, maybe early AM tee times in peak seasons. Overall good course!

Almost perfect except for the three ball ahead of us who clearly had no idea about the meaning of golfing etiquette. Painfully slow, and at no time invited us to play through in spite of the numerous opportunities to do so. The Ranger, Tim Schmidt, is an exceptionally friendly guy, but he might perhaps have done more.

The course itself is near perfect and we always look forward to playing on our annual visit to Florida.

Slow play is the bane of every golfer’s life. These three guys were locals and quite frankly, a disgrace to the course and club.

First time playing this course. Loved the layout. Challenging tee shots over water/marsh. Greens very, very slow! The golfers I played with said the clubhouse has been under construction for 2 years. Saw the beverage cart 1 time in 4 hours (at the turn).

Excellent course staff very nice all around great experience! Will definitely play there again!
