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.

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.
