Confirmed from River City Nature Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Popular option featuring 2 courses over 100 acres and including open holes.
What runners say about River City Nature Park
“Little bit wet and swampy but a really nice and well kept course!”
“So many options on tee pads and where to stand It was beautiful!”
This is a great course. It is actually two courses, with two baskets and two pads for each hole. It is a great mix of open and wooded shots. It is cart friendly and there are restrooms available. This is one of the best courses in central Florida, in my opinion.
