River Strand Golf and Country Club is golf at its finest. This new course has been opening in stages and only recently opened its final set of nine holes – making a total of 27 gorgeous holes of golf in Bradenton, Florida. Designed by legendary golf course architect, Arthur Hills, this course is sure to delight golfers of all levels. Merely to be able to play this course before it is closed to the public is a reward in itself.

As visitors enter the grounds to River Strand, they are greeted by a waterfall that tumbles over a stunning display of rocks and an equally dynamic gatehouse. Playing the course is a real treat. It has tropical palm trees, stately oaks, and a fair amount of water throughout the 27 holes. The course backs up to the Manatee River and the tidal area is often built-into its holes. In addition, golfers will find wide fairways and lush greens. The greens are seeded with Tif-eagle and they are maintained with a walker mower to insure a precise cut. This is going to be a gated golfing community, open only to property owners – however, it was designed so that houses would never be in the way of the golfers and visa versa.

The 27-holes are divided into three sets of nine. The Estuary is 3,640 yards, the Tributary is 3,214 yards and the newly opened Sanctuary is 3,473 yards. Golfers can pick and choose which two sets of nine they would like to play, if only 18-holes are in the cards. The golf course at River Strand was designed to bring enjoyment to golfers of all abilities – and with a broad spectrum of holes – everyone will find their favorite nine.

Bradenton is located between Tampa and Sarasota. As a result of its prime location, golfers range from local residents to those wanting to escape the city for a day to tourists looking for a fun outing away from the beach. In addition, River Strand will be home to many local golfers, as it is a gated, golfing community. For those visiting the area, the restaurants are exquisite, the shops are chic, and the water is inviting. However, the must-see aspects of the community include the practice facility with an aqua driving range, practice greens, short game area and bunkers, the pro shop, the snack bar on the course, the 30,000 square foot clubhouse with tennis and multiple pools, the golf instruction area, the marina, and the casual and fine dining restaurants. Hurry, before this amazing club turns “members only”.
