Riverwood best around

Hey it’s not cheap and I’ve never spent $150 for a tee time but this course was well worth this one time play! Beautifully green challenging fast greens that break. One of the nicest layouts I’ve every been on. Will play again when back in area

One of the best courses in SWFL

Speechless, nothing to complain.
Every Dollar worth to play, guess Riverwood and old Corkscrew are the best places to play.

Never miss this Golf Course

For me, Riverwood is the #1 golf course in Florida. No question. Everyone enjoys playing on such a well-kept course. That's why appropriate maintenance is needed. This means that there are times when the golf course needs to be over-seeded. Then it says “Cart Path Only!” That was the case. The pace of play is then much slower, because you're not allowed to drive the cart on the fairways. Everyone knows and sticks to it.

The fact that the Marshall reacted very exaggeratedly, when I was standing on the grass next to the restrooms at tee #5 with two wheels, so that other carts could pass, is absolutely unacceptable. Especially since the grass there wasn't newly sown. This guy was already pretty unfriendly at the Starter house. It is not appropriate to talk to guests in such a tone.

The staff from the pro shop, restaurant and bag drop was very friendly and accommodating as always.
