5/11/2013 - Beautiful course is well worth the price. Fairways, tee boxes and greens immaculate. Staff is polite and customer oriented. Posted by Thomas (Beaver Falls, PA)
4/11/2013 - Lush, beautiful scenery. Wish I could live there. Tough course Posted by Brent (Verona, OH)
3/22/2013 - Great golf course!! Posted by John (Valparaiso, IN)
1/14/2013 - Stunningly beautiful. A1 service. A must play again. Posted by Alex (Toronto, ON CANADA)
11/4/2012 - Probably the most popular with the group so far. We played off the members tees which was a mixture of the gold, blues and whites. Really good condition. Not overly quick but ran true. Long which allowed second shots with shorter irons and resulted in better scores. Water on every hole but not too severe that it effected the group to much. Posted by Steve (St. John'S, NL CANADA)
8/3/2012 - Booked a 12:30 pm tee time yesterday morning. When I arrived at the club I was greeted by friendly attendant. Signage reported greens are at 9.6 on the stimp. I was greeted by a smiling pro shop employee who asked if I wanted to hit balls. He said not to worry about missing tee time we will fit you in.
Range is a small lake, how do they retrieve those balls? Off we went to the Tributary and the Estuary.
What a jewel.... Greens have wide blade bermuda grass that are sneaky fast. Excellent condition all around the course
This is a course you want to play again. I enjoyed myself and would recommend this course to anyone who appreciates well kept conditions and intelligent design. Range staff was very helpful including showing us the sunscreen station. Posted by Paul Schmuck ()
4/1/2012 - Beautiful course, fastest greens we played. very well maintained. A little pricey but conditions worth it. Posted by Dennis (Penn, PA)
3/30/2012 - Good course. Posted by Frank (Grasonville, MD)
3/6/2012 - Course was in the best shape of all the courses we played. Fun, but very difficult layout. We will play it again !! Posted by Brad (Downers Grove, IL)
3/5/2012 - Fantastic course will play often when at my home in Treasure Island well maintained with good people. Posted by Doug (Waldorf, MD)
2/21/2012 - Play this course while they are still building.....the course is plush with 3 nines and since they are still building the upkeep is on the money. I liked this better than Waterlefe and Legacy. Posted by Mike from NYC (St. John'S, NL CANADA)
12/2/2011 - A great place to play golf, excellent course, facilities and staff. Exceptional value and beats much more expensive courses. Spotted two bald eagles which only added to the enjoyment. Will definitley return again. Handicap 11. Posted by Paul (Newport, NP10 9DY, UNITED KINGDOM)
11/18/2011 - Nice course and helpful staff. Course is well kept but the layout's not as interesting as some others. Nice 19th hole. Posted by Bill (Simsbury, CT)
4/7/2011 - Excellent in every way - treated very nice. Posted by Richard (Streator, IL)
3/11/2011 - Best of the bunch. Very nice layout, staff was outstanding, had a blast Posted by Doug (Lloydminster, AB CANADA)
2/3/2011 - A very good course with excellent fairways and greens. Some very long carries to reach the fairways from the "Mens "tees. Good and friendly staff, especially the marshalls Posted by John (47380 Ramar, FRANCE)
12/10/2010 - This was the first of 5 courses played and new to us. A really lovely course, lots of wildlife. Lots of Water! We played The Sanctuary and Tributary nine's. The 8 of us lost 49 balls, making it the 2nd easiest of the 5 rounds we played! Posted by Andy (St. John's, NL CANADA)
12/3/2010 - Super golf course and very reasonable for the type of course offered Posted by William (Washington Court House, OH)
5/23/2010 - Great course, played the twilight rate which is a good value for a championship course, ranked 2 out of 6 on our trip behind TPC. Take the drive to Bradenton and play Riverstrand and Waterlefe. Posted by Danny (St. John's, Canada)
2/13/2010 - Fun to play, good condition, scenic, nice facilities. The second year we have played here and we will return. Posted by Tom (Fuquay Varina, NC)
12/4/2009 - Much better than last year. Course was in excellent shape. Posted by Henry (Warwick, PA)
11/27/2009 - This was a great set up. We played the Tributary and Estuary nines (the Sanctuary was closed for the day). The Tributary was much shorter and therefore more manageable, but the Estuary course was long and difficult. You must choose the right tee to play from! However, it was in great condition all over and I would certainly play this course again and again. Posted by Gary (Birmingham, United Kingdom)
4/29/2009 - We're three Canadian golfers who come to Florida to
golf one week every year, in April, 2009. We played these
Bradenton area courses: River Club - a disappointment, not as
good as the last time we played there. Stoneybrook - great course
for our average skill level. Legacy - terrific course and
experience. Waterlefe - great course - maybe a bit too difficult
for our average ability level. River Strand- great course and
experience. University - terrific course and experience. Posted
by Dan (Cambridge, ON CANADA)
4/3/2009 - Great Track! Beautiful course! Played first day of trip but could have used a couple of practice rounds first. Tough but fair and in nice shape. Well worth the play! Posted by Clay
4/2/2009 - For a new course it was in great condition. The beautiful club house just opened in March. Food, beer and wine were available but they had not received their full liquor license. I didn't care for blocking the parking lot so that you couldn't drive to and put your clubs in your after completing your round. Posted by Carl (Westford, MA)
3/20/2009 - Awesome!! Would recommend this course. Will play there again next year. Posted by Jon (Elgin, IL)
3/20/2009 - Some in our group loved this course, and some thought the tributary 9 was just too difficult. Posted by Jerry (Pittsburgh, PA)
2/10/2009 - Course was fun to play. One nine was very short and the course was not well marked with hole layouts on the tees. Many fairway traps and water that you may not see from the tee. The course was in good condition and the personnel were very friendly. Being a new course I am sure tee layout markers will be forthcoming. Probably will return. Posted by Tom (Fuquay Varina, NC)
1/27/2009 - Superb new course, great condition and reasonable rates given. Greens are tricky but excellent, plenty of water so take enough balls!! Posted by DJM (Manchester UK).
12/3/2008 - Good layout & good conditions. Great value. Posted by Jp (Sarasota, FL).
12/1/2008 - The setting is beautiful. It's a new course and basically in the wilderness because the houses are not yet built all around it. Probably the most enjoyable course played that weekend. Although there is water on most (all?) holes, there are many sets of tees and you can bite off as much as you want to chew. Posted by WK.
11/13/2008 - I liked this course very much. I highly recommend this course. I would play it again. Posted by John (Philadelphia, PA).
5/9/2008 - Nice course. Lots of challenges. I'll be back. Posted by Stephen (Burlington, Canada).
4/12/2008 - A good new track, but tough to play the first time. Need more info on tees about carries, traps, etc., and more sand in traps. A good challenge and will be top-notch when clubhouse is finished. Posted by Stan (Sussex, WI).
4/3/2008 - Newly opened and it shows. Posted by Ron.
3/21/2008 - Played it for the first time. I thought the design of the course was tricked up/ Mickey Mouse. Instead of playing this go play Stoneybrook next door which has a fair challenging layout and great greens. Posted by ML.
3/7/2008 - Nice course; only two nines of the three open when we played. Could tell the course was fairly new, not quite grown in. Could be very good in a few years. Posted by Robert (St Joseph, MI).
3/6/2008 - A new golf course. Fairways were quite firm so that we played preferred lies. Not especially long but with fairways slopping towards water and environmentally friendly areas, a very difficult course. Greens were in good shape. Posted by Mike (Dartmouth, Canada).
2/28/2008 - New course that had tough landing areas almost like target golf. This is not a course you can miss the fairway. Bring lots of balls ton of water. Posted by Kurt (Collingswood, NJ).
2/1/2008 - Even though a newer course, not one of our favorites. Would not play this course again. Staff was friendly enough, not just a golf course we enjoyed playing. Posted by Jack (Maumee, OH).
1/25/2008 - Great value...water on 17 of 18 holes....not to be played on an extremely windy day! Posted by Timothy (Palos park, IL).
10/22/07 - Great layout, challenging with undulating greens. Risk/rewards options on several holes. One of the top course in the area. Posted by J.P. (Sarasota, FL).
5/11/2013 - Beautiful course is well worth the price. Fairways, tee boxes and greens immaculate. Staff is polite and customer oriented. Posted by Thomas (Beaver Falls, PA)

River Strand Golf & Country Club Reviews (44)
Range is a small lake, how do they retrieve those balls? Off we went to the Tributary and the Estuary.
What a jewel.... Greens have wide blade bermuda grass that are sneaky fast. Excellent condition all around the course
This is a course you want to play again. I enjoyed myself and would recommend this course to anyone who appreciates well kept conditions and intelligent design. Range staff was very helpful including showing us the sunscreen station. Posted by Paul Schmuck ()
