Pretty Good
Overall pleasant round. Carts wouldn’t let you go to the range before the round from the geofencing which seems like an oversight. Very friendly staff, course wasn’t immaculate, but was generally happy with it. A few challenging holes and fewer easier ones. Lots of tee boxes, I think the fronts were juniors, but maybe pack em up til they’re on course. Either way, would recommend and will be back.
Good, could be MUCH BETTER
Staff was extremely friendly, beverage cart service was excellent, Half way house attendant very friendly. 2nd hole par 3 SLOWS play immediately…. Course needs a little TLC. Paid $86… AM TEE TIME
Ranger issue
We waited on nearly every hole and were ahead of our pace the entire round according to our cart. We started out 9 minutes ahead but with the constant waiting got to 1-2 minutes ahead. Then the ranger tells us we were behind. Where were we supposed to go?! There was no place for us to go, so we just continued the “hurry up and wait” golf round. All other staff were very nice, but that left a bad impression. I won’t go back.
River Club
The owners have worked hard at improving the course. With mature trees, lots of water and sand, it is a course that requires accurate drives and a good short game.
OK course
Lots of play because of the price, means a lot of damage on tee boxes and greens. Pretty short with smaller greens. Amenities are pretty good, no cart out in the later afternoon.
For the first 9 holes had a 5 some in front of us.
River Club
Booked a tee time for 1:16 and arrived early to go to the driving range.
Upon arrival, we learned our tee time had been changed to 1:32 without any advance notice.
Had to wait a good 15 minutes for someone to take us to the range as no carts available.
Nice layout but the greens were slow and somewhat bumpy.
5 on the tee box
For starters the round took 5 hours & 20 minutes, second I’ve played for 40 plus years and have never been told not even asked that we are going to stick a fifth player with you from the start totally unacceptable worst round that I have ever had to play will never go back 👎👎👎👎👎
Predictable
It’s nice to have a course where you almost always know what you are going to get in all these categories.
River Club at Lakewood Ranch
Local public course with a forgiving amount of room on most holes. Fair to Good condition but improving recently especially on the greens. Good Value but slow play resulting in a 5:30 round. Tough to get a rhythm going due to the long waits on most holes. Overall, I liked the layout and enjoyed the course.
Good public course and reasonable
A little confusion at the starter, then slow play.
I’d go back but it’s a busy place
