One of the best tracks in south florida

I am a 7 handicap. I played Streamsong Red two weeks ago, and honestly I think Riverwood’s tee boxes, fairways, and general turf conditions were better than Streamsong. The greens were also fast (not too fast), receptive to approach shots and rolled true. This place is a gem, best in the area for sure and the price was very reasonable I thought. I’ve played courses down in the Naples area in Jan/Feb that were not nearly as nice and cost 50-70% more then what you pay at Riverwood. I will definitely be back next time I am in the area.

Never Disappoints

As a prevous member who moved away, I couldn't wait to get my new husband on this course. It didn't disappoint!! Riverwood is as gorgeous as ever. Lush, green fairways - overseeded completely. Greens are beautiful and fast - a real challenge! This is definitely #1 in Florida and a must play for anyone that loves great golf courses! Just bring lots of balls if you aren't used to placement golf. Even with that, I guarantee you'll love this course!

Great Course

This was our first time playing here. It was a great course and very pretty. We played with other 1st time players`.It would have helped if we played with someone who knew the course. Carts don't have GPS and there are some blind shots and it would have helped if we knew where we were hitting.

WOW! What a beautiful layout and condition.

This was such a great course. Greens were fast and true to read. Great fairways. A real challenge if you don't hit straight. Definitely recommend for everyone.

Course is always virtually perfect

I'm not going to leave a lengthy review. No need. Course is always outstanding. Considering the class of the facilities, I find the prices to be fair. And they don't oversubscribe the course with players.
