Riverwood Golf Club

Course in excellent condition, greens fairly fast(not as fast as practice green) & true

Enjoyed the grass type., as compared to other courses in the area. Greens were in excellent condition. The entire course was well kept. Fairways, on most holes, were tight and challenging. Will definitely play it again.

Beautiful area and the course was in great condition. It had some challenging holes which kept the round interesting. Pace of play was perfect! No delays at all. Due to hurricane, clubhouse is being renovated but pro shop still open. Tent for food til 2:30 pm.

Would highly recommend!

Green fees are over priced. Club house damaged by hurricane so facilities were lacking, which should lower the price but didn't. Pace of play is very slow and the rangers are terrible and rude. Tee times are too close together so too many people are on the course, which makes it slow due to the difficulty. Even though we were ahead of pace the ranger kept harassing us, probably because we had 2 women in our group, who weren't slowing us down. He assumed the women were slow even though they weren't, and we were ahead of the pace shown on the scorecard. The ranger was totally rude to everyone in our group. Totally unprofessional jerk! Will never play there again because of him.

By far favorite spot in SWFL. Staff are great and the course is beautiful and always well kept!

This is an excellent challenging design. The fee is high compared to other excellent courses in the area. The course takes advantage of its positive reviews. Clubhouse under repair due to Ian. Cart path only not advertised. Watering of overseed made playing difficult and wet, also not advertised. Enjoyed the beauty of this course but would not return at $80 to $100. Better value elsewhere.

Still a great golf track. Overseeding was growing in nicely. Lots of scheduled watering and cart path only. Greens still fast and true. Temporary tent for beverage/food service (6 months expected) thanks to hurricane Ian. But servers were wonderful and happy to help us. Get on Riverwood anytime you can - it is a treat!

We were looking forward to playing Riverwood as we loved the course but we had not played it since COVID..

We arrived at 120 for our 1252 tee time. Surprising very few cars in parking lot. Thought that was a pleasant surprise. When checking in at pro shop we were told it was cart path only as they were overseeding the fairways. We had prepaid $180 for my wife and I so we decided to go ahead.

As it was not busy I asked if we could go early as no one was one the tee and we forego the wonderful practice facility they have. The staff were very accommodating. The starter told us, 1) cart path only, 2) the sprinkler may come on at anytime 3). Fairways has not been cut in several day and tone cautious if we heard them coming on.

To make a long story short. 1) course was a wetland, Basically a lot of casual water and some pooling in the fairways, 2) cart path only is also a hassle having to carry 3 of 4 clubs across a fairway only to discover you still have the wrong club. Was more difficult for my wife who just hit whatever club she had in her hand.

Greens are pretty good. Surprised to see clover on one very small patch on one green. 3) a lot of storm damage off the fairways. Use to be a very beautiful course but going to be year to clean it up. No one fault.nature happens.

Staff are wonderful. From the greeter, to the proshop, starter and of course the friendly beverage lady.

But overall. A big disappointment paying $180 to play this course. Heritage landing and Heron creek are a much better course for less money.

From the moment we stepped out of the car , until we left everything was outstanding.. everybody we came in contact with was super friendly, and the course is an absolute gem..if ever in the area it’s a must play.. Very challenging, but very fair..,
