- Waterlefe Golf & River Club – take what you’ve learned, and play the most challenging course in Manatee County. Waterlefe is built along a beautiful section of the Manatee River, complete with wide expanses of pristine marshes. Don't be surprised if on the 15th tee you spot a family of manatees poking noses up for a breath of air. The Tee boxes of the 17th, one of Waterlefe's signature holes, jut majestically into the Manatee River. Ted McAnlis designed this course with a great deal of time, effort and expense going toward protecting and restoring the natural environment that gives the course its unique character. The gently sloped greens with the newest TifEagle Bermuda offer the ultimate in putting. From a lazy start on the par-5 first hole to the big finish on the 18th hole island green Waterlefe Golf Course is a course to remember.
