River Wilderness Country Club

Overview: River Wilderness Country Club, the Parrish course, covers 18 holes and reaches 7,072 yards at the longest setting; the course is par 72. Ted McAnlis's parkland design combines lakes, wooded areas and the North Shore of the Manatee River, creating a course that is scenic but still demands decisions from the tee.

History: Independent course records date River Wilderness to 1985 and credit Ted McAnlis. The club is described in different records as private or semi-private with limited guest play, so the access label is kept cautious while the course identity and design facts remain clear.

Did You Know? The course is close to the Manatee River but is described as hidden in woodland, a setting that explains why the course can feel secluded despite its proximity to the Tampa Bay and Sarasota corridors.
