The new 27-hole championship golf course at River Strand, designed by world-renowned architect Arthur Hills, offers a first class golf experience that will be challenging for the low handicap golfer yet fair and fun for the high handicap player. The golf course fits harmoniously with the environment featuring holes intertwined with tributaries and estuaries. The Manatee River and its tidal water areas are incorporated into several holes making the course a remarkable and memorable experience. River Strand is meticulously maintained from lush fairways to tour quality TifEagle greens. The practice facility provides the opportunity to practice all aspects of your game. The large driving range, the multi-faceted short game area and putting greens complement the golf course, creating a first class golf facility. Designed with a Tuscan flair, the new 30,000 sq. ft. clubhouse is open from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day, and features a full liquor license. The clubhouse also features a pool, fitness center, card rooms, billiard room and much more. Experience the oustanding conditions and superior service of River Strand for yourself.

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

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).
