Loved the layout

The course is in amazing condition, you wouldn’t even think we’ve gone through season down here in SWFL. Loved the layout, the course is tough yet fair. Practice facility is top notch. Lots of routine maintenance being performed during our tee time, great to see and didn't interrupt our pace of play. Our threesome got around in 3:15.

Food and beverage were not available due to COVID-19.

Starter was great, very nice guy and cared about your experience.

Staff in the clubhouse could be more approachable, very transactional and stand offish.

Will definitely be coming back. It’s worth the trip!

A Five Star experience

This course was a joy to play, a great layout playing thru a beautiful water and trees-filled environment. Riverwoods is a semi-private course with a staff that was very hospitable to newcomers (such as my foursome). From the very first tee the course presented itself as a fair but solid challenge to our group of 5-10 handicappers -- lakes and ponds were everywhere one looked yet the holes were never too "tight" and were deceptively roomy (especially from the tee). The greens were not large and generally presented tough targets to hit.

The course itself was in excellent condition for mid-April. Take care when choosing what tees to play from -- lower handicappers may wish to select the Blue tees, or a combo of the Blue-White tees, for a better challenge.

I drove 60 minutes from Lee County to play at Riverwoods, but I was very satisfied with my choice -- I could play this course every day and be quite happy.

Paul

Excellent course, restaurant was closed due to the virus so could not judge, I am sure it would be rated highly.

Employees were very friendly , informative and the pace of play was well above average given the fact they had a full course of players .i would rate this course one of the best in Southwest Florida.

Riverwood!

This golf course has everything .. driving range, chipping area, putting area, ice & water. The staff were friendly & helpful. Unfortunately we didn’t get to enjoy the restaurant due to the virus shutdown. Everything was clean & I felt comfortable being socially distant from all. The layout is challenging yet friendly to the average golfer. There is less break on the greens than you think. The course was in outstanding shape. Will definitely return.

First Time @ Course

I have mixed feelings about my experience at this course. As I checked in the man sent me walking (with my clubs) to find my partner who checked in just seconds before. After introducing myself and placing my bag in his cart I later found out he was not my partner. After I found out we were not paired I had to walk back (with my clubs) to grab a cart. This ended up being a 10 minute delay which did not leave me enough time to warm up. Another issue I had to deal with was the course did not have drinkable water - due to water pipe contamination. With this setback the facility did not provide any water to accommodate for this issue (luckily I brought my own water). The practice facility was large and looked very nice, but I could not hit any balls due to only having 5 minutes to chip and put. When I finally got to the course and meet the members I was paired up with is when my day began to turn around. The course was in amazing shape, with fairways and rough well taken care of. The, greens were nice and firm running ~11. The members were very helpful providing insight on where to and not to hit shots. Which was very important because there was A LOT of blind shots (playing from the blue’s). If it wasn’t for this helpful insight I would have shot in the upper 80’s. Overall I give this course a 5 star rating. I refuse to let the service and water contamination plague my day on the golf course. I recommend this course to all who has a handicap of 10 or better.
