Riverwood Golf

Riverwood Golf course is a superb facility from beginning to end. Driving range, chipping and putting areas abound. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The fairways and greens are beautiful and challenging and herein lies the rub. One downside to our round was that the entire course had been overseeded and it was cart path ONLY. This is a long course If you couldn't hit every shot alongside the cart paths, you really didn't use the cart. After your tee shot, drove on path to alongside your ball for your 1st fairway shot then carrying the clubs you needed and walked toward the hole as you advanced the ball. Back and forth to the cart was a waste of time. Lot of walking on a long course. For me, this was a downside of what I expected to be an enjoyable round. I'll play this course again, but not until the grass is established. Very pricey course 'in season'.

Hard to see landing areas from Blue tees

I liked the course, but one area of concern is the inability to see the landing area from the blue tees on 4-5 holes. Over the years vegetation that is in environmentally sensitive areas has grown to either partially or completely block the view of the fairway from the tee. This is not a problem from the white tees, but sure is from the Blues or Blacks. Not sure these areas can be trimmed back. Could be a real problem down the road.

Best in the area

First time playing Riverwood and I will be back. Great condition and a fun layout. Shorter holes were protected and had small difficult greens. Took a couple holes to figure the greens out, but they were fantastic. Pro shop, clubhouse, and staff were also great.

Beautiful and challenging!

We have golfed many courses from Port Charlotte to the Rotonda. All the courses we have played play slower this time of year and are in average condition due to players on the field. We tried Riverwood and had nothing but a great experience. From the staff upon checking in to the beautiful fairways and quick greens it was beyond what we expected! Thank you Riverway we will be back.

Price gouging

Nice course but 175 dollars ? Not worth the money. Price gouging in Florida for golf has gotten way out of hand.
