Just taking up golf but had a really great time here.
The country club could do much better with providing wait staff for the jazz concerts.
Beautiful Scenic River Course And You Can Get Local Residents Rate AND A Free Drink After Your Round In The 19th Hole With A Space Coast Coupon:)
Great views and occasional gators. Always a great place to play a round. It is bright though.
Best greens I have ever putted on in Florida. Shot a 74 on River-Dolphin, Shot a 73 on River and Lakes, then shot a 39 on the River on my 3 trips there. Saw Big alligators, dolphins, raccoon and all kinds of birds. So far one of my best golf experiences in Florida. Loved it.
I've played this course (all three 9's) several times, but have never written a review of it. So I felt it was time. A few things
First, don't let the name fool you - this isn't some ritzy country club, it's a public golf course. The staff is friendly, but won't go out of their way to accommodate you. Then again, you're not really paying for the staff courtesy.
The course has looked better, it had evidently rained pretty hard, so it was 90 degree rule, though some of the fairways were pretty beat up. The greens looked good, though I agree with another reviewer that the bunkers were pretty packed down so I treated all of my sand shots as simple pitch shots.
Pace of play was goodto a point. We got behind a pretty slow foursome and my Dad and I (my playing partner) finally just decided to pass them. As it turns out, they were all four employees of the course and never made any effort to let us play through. Way to lead by example, guysfortunately after that, we had no problems not having ever seen another golfer on the Dolphin course.
Living in Maryland, I'm used to paying a lot more for a round of golf, so for the price - this is a pretty good deal. It's 27 holes as opposed to 18 most other places, so the players are a bit more diffused. I wouldn't expect a tournament-quality course, but I doubt most who play this course would. For the money, you can't really go wrong, but if you want manicured fairways and greens - look elsewhere.
