River Strand Golf and Country Club

Best New Place in Bradenton

WOW, What a course. Very scenic. Every hole is thought out. There is water on one side or another. Hardly comes into play. Wastelands and natural areas are all around but again do not come into play. Everything is large and some holes it looks deceiving from the tee box, but read the yardage markers and hit the right club and you’re on. While you are playing for the first time there will be some good and bad surprises like… I’m glad that was a dry bunker with a downhill slope was there and I didn’t know that sand trap was behind the green. BUT after you played a round, you will completely enjoy the course. There are 3 - 9’s to choose from. Definitely a must play while you are staying on the west coast of Florida. The new clubhouse is under construction and they are working out of a trailer BUT, they have food and drinks and a place to sit before or after the game and relax. Should be finished by summer 09.
