Hard to see landing areas from Blue tees

I liked the course, but one area of concern is the inability to see the landing area from the blue tees on 4-5 holes. Over the years vegetation that is in environmentally sensitive areas has grown to either partially or completely block the view of the fairway from the tee. This is not a problem from the white tees, but sure is from the Blues or Blacks. Not sure these areas can be trimmed back. Could be a real problem down the road.

Best in the area

First time playing Riverwood and I will be back. Great condition and a fun layout. Shorter holes were protected and had small difficult greens. Took a couple holes to figure the greens out, but they were fantastic. Pro shop, clubhouse, and staff were also great.

Price gouging

Nice course but 175 dollars ? Not worth the money. Price gouging in Florida for golf has gotten way out of hand.

Beautiful and challenging!

We have golfed many courses from Port Charlotte to the Rotonda. All the courses we have played play slower this time of year and are in average condition due to players on the field. We tried Riverwood and had nothing but a great experience. From the staff upon checking in to the beautiful fairways and quick greens it was beyond what we expected! Thank you Riverway we will be back.

Riverwood best around

Hey it’s not cheap and I’ve never spent $150 for a tee time but this course was well worth this one time play! Beautifully green challenging fast greens that break. One of the nicest layouts I’ve every been on. Will play again when back in area
