The River Club
Played On 06/29/2017Best layout in Bradenton
Let's go over the basics .
1. The layout is atypical to every course you will play in the area. Couple of nice holes where you have to drive through a natural chute. The course is not flat like most Florida courses. Water comes into play a handful of times. There is a good mix of short 4's that require accurate tee and approach shots. But then some par 4's where with a good tee shot you will still have a 160-180 approach. For the most part the par 5 are gettable. Overall pretty fair. A lot of the courses in this area tend to meld together and get forgettable, but I remember quite a few of drives and approaches so that is good.
2. Staff. Was greeted at my car and had a quick convo about the local rules and conditions so that was good. My reservation had no issues and check in and out was seem less.
3. Concessions. The hole layout doesn't bring you back to the clubhouse so just load up at the beginning. The cart guy told me about it so it wasn't an issue at all.
4. Conditions. Easily in the best shape aside from maybe 1 other course in the area. Yeah a tee box or 2 had some bare spots but it wasn't where you were hitting from. The fairways where in nice shape and you could consistently hit from them and not worry about it. The greens were in fantastic shape. I've played around 10 courses in this area in the month of June. Sadly most of them were not up to par condition wise especially on the greens. Not here greens were consistent and rolled true.
Overall. Highly recommebd the course. The price has great value and the layout and conditions merit playing
Wilkes-Barre Golf Club
Played On 08/05/2014course is in total disrepair
Came in from out of town. Played 2 courses in 2 days. First was blue Ridge trail. It was beautiful and real tough. Second was this. Course is clearly hurting. Greens are dead with dirt patches. Fairways are the same. Hit a drive down the middle and you're sitting in a dirt patch with maybe a patch of grass. The facilities are outdated aND off nothing special. I've played 30 plus rounds this year and this course was in the worst shape by far. If you're coming in to go to Mohegan sun like we were, just skip this course.
Lido Golf Club
Played On 04/03/2014skip it
No carts available but that wasn't indicated on golf now. All the course had to do was call golf now to update their change for the day. More geese and standing puddles than there are people playing the course. Really needs a ton of work. Never a great course but it went from decent to deplorable. I understand we had a bad winter but I've gotten out to 4 other courses and lido was in the worst shape by a mile. Save your money and play somewhere else.
