The Club at River Wilderness

Course layout is great. However, the course is in dire need of water. Tees and fairways are poor condition and grass is sparse. Green were fair at best. Bunkers were in good condition. No plans to play it again.

Absolutely the worst conditions I have ever had to play
Fairways has minimal to no grass
Greens were slow bumpy and non growing areas were sanded to fill in

Used to be a nice course it has gone down hill the last 2 years hard to find grass anywhere on the course

Was hoping for improved conditions from a few weeks ago when played here last, unfortunately, it appears to have worsened, mainly with the fairways. Very thin & in many places just sand & bare spots. Thought the recent rains would green it up a bit, but not the case. Greens are still rolling good, but once again, not a single bunker has been turned over & raked out. A shame, because they appear to have adequate sand, just not properly maintained. Why this course doesn't rope off fairway areas that sorely need to grow out boggles my mind, and they continue to cut fairways really tight, instead of letting them grow in a bit, which is sorely needed. It's a shame, because the course is one of the nicest layouts around, and I keep hoping that it will some day return to it's once meticulous conditions.....just doesn't seem to get the proper fertilizer & seed when needed. As usual, a very slow round ( 4 1/2 hours+), and several tee boxes had more than 1 group waiting. Hard to avoid with 7 minute tee times, but a ranger pushing SLOW groups would help a lot!!! Still, with the crazy prices now prevalent in the SRQ area, still a good value for the money.

We were disappointed with River Wilderness course. We had 3 foursomes and had booked on TeeOff at $48 plus tax. The proshop wanted to have only one foursome at that price and charge $65 for the other 2 foursomes. They finally agreed to give the correctly booked price. Fairways were extremely short grass and sparse grass in areas. Hard to hit approach shots off of tight lies in the middle of the fairways. Greens were really fast. It was decent but the group doesn’t want to return till improvements are made.

If you like to give away money and play on garbage, this is your place!!! They should just take your money and send you home. Too bad, it's a nice layout but your playing on garbage and dirt!!! No grass per se on fairways. Don't waste your money. Greens are ok, staff is friendly, but was most frustrated round. Can't hit on garbage!
I wouldn't even spend $10 on this cr.p.

Bunkers better place to put you ball than on the approach. Best to putt of of the approach, approach bone dry.
Course could be a jem if they watered more frequently.
Staff was very accommodating.

It’s like a cow pasture there is no grass anywhere on the fairways

Good course. Nice setup and layout. You can make it as tough as you want it to be.

Fairways have very little grass but greens are good

Slowest round I have ever experienced at a golf course, you couldn’t pay me to go back and play another round.
