About River Strand Golf & Country Club (Bradenton, FL)
Open since late summer 2006, River Strand is a 27-hole championship golf course by the Arthur Hills/Steve Forrest and Associates design team. Hills is one architect who lives up to the adage of creating a course that is challenging for the scratch player and fun for the high handicapper. He's done it again here with a course that fits harmoniously with the environment as holes winds through tributaries and tidal areas of the Manatee River. The facility also features a terrific practice facility and a brand new 39,000 square-foot state of the art clubhouse.

Strother (Gainesville, GA) says:
Starter was very helpful in getting us off in a way taht we were not backed up behind a # of 4-somes. we actually felt like we had the course to ouirselves, but taht was only because of the efforts of the starter.

William (Fitchburg, WI) says:
Slight delay since they had us paired with another couple who were late. Pace of play was fine however. They did a nice job of accomodating a late tee time when I called and asked for a lat minute change. Nice course. Nice variety of tees.
Commented on 12/16/2008
Tom (Bull Valley, IL) says:
The course is relatively new and the density of the turf and quickness of the greens illustrated that situation. The course was way more difficult play because of its lack of maturity.

Robert (Pittsburgh, PA) says:
Fairly new track, but very good and challenging course. wind is diefinately a factor here. not many trees or buildings to block wind.
