Perfect example of Florida golf.

I had a friend visiting from New York and wanted him to play an impressive course. Riverwood was the perfect choice.

Course condition was poor

Disappointed and surprised in the course condition! We have played this course many times over the years and always look forward to it. Given the price we certainly expected better. Fairways were fair to terrible with groves/rutts and tire marks, or bare spots. We have never seen that before at Riverwood. Even greens were fair but slow.

Course was in very good condition. Nice greens

A very good experience for the most part. Enjoy the course layout. Well manicure fairways and greens. Very nice practice layout.
As far as staff went, the golf cart attendant was very nice and helpful, The waiter in Bar was very nice. The only complaint was the person in the pro shop; not very welcoming and kind of gruff exterior.

A Gem

I play alot if golf and this course is a real great teat no matter what decks u play from
In the SW Fla area - you will not find a better course that u can book online
The only drawback are the starters are very unfriendly but that only last for a bit

great condition- RIVERWOOD should be proud 👏👏👏

Beautiful Course

Beautiful course in Great Shape. Unbelievable practice facilities. Friendly employees and starter. BUT NO RANGER. Pacce of play was VERY SLOW. We had a twilight tee time, but struggled to get 9 in 3hrs !
The foursome in front of us would wait till the green cleared from 200 yards, and than hit it 50.
Also never heard of ready golf.
Very frustrating

Slow play unfortunately

Course was in Great condition, best we've seen in Florida. Unfortunately the group in front of us thought Tiger was with them and waited for the green to clear, and the only hit it 50 to 75 yards.
No ranger but we had the last twilight tee time at 4pm.
Only could play 10 holes till 715, you do yge math.

Better Than Most

Second time at RW... Played once last season. A nice track, busy so pace of play was off a bit. Course suggests a 4 hour round, took us 4:30. Great condition and with a GN 'hot deal' and a coupon, about $120 pp all in. About the same as other local tracks of less quality than RW. Good value if u can find the discounts, tough for me to justify at their full rack rate... but it is FL in March. Supply and demand... at full price they still sell out or come close.
