About The River Club (Bradenton, FL)
There are very few semi-private clubs in the Sarasota area as challenging as River Club. The club is in Bradenton, convenient for visitors to both Tampa and Sarasota. Architect Ron Garl incorporated extensive mounding with rolling fairways, undulating greens, and numerous grass and pot bunkers. Although water comes into play on 16 holes, the front side is actually fairly open off the tee. However, the back meanders through dense woodlands so you'd better be hitting it straight by the turn.

Matt (Molene, IL) says:
I was expecting this to be the lowest quality of the three courses I set out to play (Oak Ford and University Park), but was pleasantly surprised by the course conditions and challenge despite it being a public course for quite some time. If you go in a twosome, expect to be paired with others. It's very busy and the pace of play was pretty slow because of that (over 5 hours for 18). The fairways are open and forgiving. There are a few water hazards and protected wetlands as hazards. A neat, near-island green greets you on a par four. You will play with homes in view for the majority of the course. Didn't bother me, but if you don't hit it straight, you might bother them.
