Riverwood Golf Club

There is nothing like going to a golf course early and practicing prior to your round and this GC has a wonderful practice area, chipping, range and putting green. Range balls included with the round. Greens were great, course layout was open and forgiving. I really enjoyed myself.

I made a reservation on Golf Now to play with a 2 some since I didn’t want to play alone. I got to the course, checked in the pro shop, warmed up and heard the starter call my name. When I checked in with him, he told me I’d be starting on the back nine and playing alone. Needless to say, I wasn’t pleased and told him about it. Unbeknownst to me, the 2 some I had signed up with were members and apparently members aren’t too fond of playing with non-members; you know, the golfers who keep this club running otherwise they’d go bankrupt. I can understand members who can’t break 100 not wanting to play with low or mid handicappers but Riverwood should block off tee times that are used by members while retaining tee times for the general public so that we don’t run into these situations. Very poor management and communication on the part of the pro shop and starter.

As always a great course and in challenging at the same time. Green's rolled very true.

The course was in excellent condition especially considering the amount of rain we received lately. The greens rolled very true and were very plush.

No bad lies in the fairway either! The staff was very polite and professional.

This is the second time we have played here and will be back for more in the summer. However this is the second time getting stuck behind a VERY slow foursome, this time more interested in listening to music and socializing rather than playing.

I find it interesting that no one has commented on the noisy, dirty, smelly, gas golf carts used at Riverwood. You would think an 'award-winning' course would have the capacity to provide guests with quiet, clean, electric carts. Apparently, ownership will not invest in the comfort of guest's course transportation. Following one of those gas golf carts is like following a garbage truck, while following an electric cart is like following a Tesla. Needless to say, your game and comfort are improved with electric carts.

Not only does the noise contribute to players having to listen to that racket all day, but the exhaust harms the local environment, especially that of the adjacent river preserve. While you may enjoy playing the course, it is unlikely you will enjoy the loud, obnoxious, gas golf carts you will have to ride. It is unfortunate that guests must use substandard carts.

Great Layout. Can’t wait to tee it up again at this course.

First time playing Riverwood. Will definitely come back, and play again.

Always a pleasure playing this course. The greens run smooth and always in pristine condition.

The Riverwood course is nestled nicely in the Riverwood neighborhood and offers fairly wide fairways. A fair amount of water on the course and native Florida habitat. Hit your ball there and it's essentially gone. But the course certainly has wide enough fairways to make an enjoyable round. Plus, 5-6 tee box options to suit everyone. We played in mid August and the extreme heat didn't seem to have had any impact on the quality of the course.

Course was in excellent shape, Greens,fairways,bunkers were perfect! Staff was super friendly and helpful. Looking forward to next round there !!

Course in excellent condition. Staff was very friendly. Can be very challenging depending on ball placement. Greens in excellent condition and were very fast. Ranger was out and course saw him several times. My only issue was we didn’t see the beverage cart until we were playing our final hole.

Course is in pretty good condition some of the greens need a little work fun course to play

Would definitely go back and play again. Layout and design are great. Plays long but fair.

We got a really low price because they had recently punched the greens but you could hardley tell it. Great place to play. I live in Englewood during the winter and if they offered a seasonal membership I would probably join.

Course was in fantastic condition. The greens were punched a while back but they will be perfect in a couple weeks. A huge thanks to the group I was teamed up with, Joe, Brook and Joe. Joe was also a member and helped guide me to my first 72. Don’t hesitate to play this course.

Definitely top 5.a pleasure to have a top rated course in my backyard.. most play

This is a must play course. Very well kept conditions and friendly people working and playing there. Challenging but not too difficult if you play the correct tee's for your game.

Looked liked the greens were punched two weeks ago and cart only n three holes as the course was really wet. On of the best courses in this part of Florida!!!

Only played 3 holes but the course appears to be in good condition the greens were still recovering from recently being aerated
