Riverwood Golf Club

They had recently aerated the greens but otherwise the course was in terrific shape. A couple holes are quite narrow but great design nonetheless. No two holes alike. They must have a (praiseworthy) culture of fast playing. Our foursome played in 3.5 hours, and we had trouble keeping up with the guys in front of us, and they were falling behind the guys in front of them.

Course conditions were good however the green were recently aerated. Recommend playing

This is a true country club. Greens were rolling like silk. Tee boxes were in great shape as well as the fairways.

Riverwood GC is a beautiful course. It is in excellent condition overall; the fairways were pristine and the greens rolled smooth and true. All the staff were terrific. This was my first time playing Riverwood but I am really looking forward to my next round there....soon.

It was in really good shape. Well maintained. Great bounces in the fairways. The only compliant I can have is that the greens were inconsistent. Some were fast others really slow.

Course is in great condition recommend playing . They said greens will be aerated next week

Played in a light rain most of the day but you can't blame the course for that. Course was in great shape, staff was friendly and other than the weather I've not one complaint. Excellent.

One of the areas top courses. Beer is expensive and the bar closes early so if your a twilight player purchase for the back nine. Rye grass fairways still good now, beats the Bermuda in my book....understanding I played my golf in the Midwest.

Beautiful course, manicured. Really busy, par 3’s seem to clog up pace of play. I will return.

Heard good reviews so when a time popped up end of season at half the usual hundred bucks, jumped on it. Bag guy was great and helpful for our first time there. The starter was a little grumpy but came around when we chatted it up about being from Boston. Members’s were very nice. Seems like a vibrant club. Nice practice areas. Tee boxes had just been aerated so they were a little rough but flat. Many are elevated. Fairways, greens, bunkers were excellent and pace was good at under 4 hours. The course has a lot of character for Florida with hills, woods, water, and sand, making holes as challenging as you want depending on tees, risk and reward. Played with a nice couple members who showed us the ropes. Overall one of the nicer courses in the area. I’d recommend playing there.

My whole 4some agreed that this is the best course that we’ve played in the past 6 months.

The condition of the fairways and the greens were pristine. Many of the greens are quite small but the immediate area around the greens, the apron or 1st cut, are well manicured and very consistent.

We will definitely return for another round ASAP.

First time playing Riverwood - great reviews on golf now and we decided to make the 45 minute drive from Sarasota . Not disappointed at all,

Definitely be back to play again , course unfamiliarity cost a couple strokes at least so next time I will

Know - friendly staff , nice range as well - gave 4 star for most because it’s tough to get 5 stars , kinda buggy and no gps on carts —but we had rangefinder - we willl be back !

During the Covaid 19 crisis some courses have closed to public play. A friend told me to try Riverwood. While it’s an hour drive for me it’s well worth it. Got a decent golfnow hotdeal.

The course was in great shape with a great layout. The facilities were excellent and the range was open. Balls r left there so u only touch the balls with ur club head. What could be easier and safer?

Staff was friendly and everyone kept their social distance. If it wasn’t so far away I would consider a membership.

All the other recommended precautions were taken. A must try if u r anywhere near this golf course

One warning... Waze GPS wants to take u to the private homeowners entrance. U can’t get it. U have to navigate to Riverwood Road gated entry.

Have fun. Stay Safe

Very nice coarse. With all the rain we got on Friday I thought the coarse might be very wet but only had to stay on cart path for 2 holes. It lived up to the good reputation that I’d heard about. I’ll be back

My golf mates and myself have played Riverwood many times. As season is winding down in Florida we were able to afford playing recently. The course is totally perfect in every way. You could actually tee off and use your putter the rest of the way if you wanted to. Perfection is an understatement. The staff is as friendly as family. I will always come back all summer and recommend this course to anyone who asks. I would put it in my top 3 course.

Have always had a good experience playing here. Nicely manicured course. We played in a timely manner. Course maintained all the virus precautions. Everything was fine.
