Nice mature golf course.

The course was in good condition. The practice area was great with no up charge. Challenging for all levels of golf. Typical Florida course....if you’re in the penalty area you are penalized. Definitely would recommend.

Always a Great Course

This is the third or fourth time I have played and each time it is a great experience. The course has a great layout with plenty of risk/ reward decisions challenging your confidence as well as your ability. Extremely well manicured and always a delight to play. This is the best course in the area and my favorite.

I don’t usually give reviews, I am down from nj and have played river wood three times in past four years, this course is a jem, it’s a bit pricey and I get the tee time from GolfNow, but I truly enjoy the layout

Top ranked?

After seeing great reviews and top ranked in the us and also in Florida, I drove an hour to play there. Bottom line is it's not top ranked at all, so ordinary, not so friendly staffs, maintenance guys don't care about players, course is old style, not impressive amenities. Most of everything, I didn't feel welcome at all.

Awesome Track

Great course and in great condition! This is a very playable course with a lot of water and some big decision making holes, risk/reward for extra yardage or lay up vs go for the gold. The course drains well with very little water pooling after a big rain. In my opinion this course is the best in the area. Most enjoyable day!
