A gathering place for homeowners and an inviting spot for culinary excellence, The River Club at Waterlefe has a menu that runs the gamut from ultra-casual fare to fine dining. To slake one’s hunger or thirst while enjoying a dip in the sprawling Junior Olympic Pool, The River Club offers up a poolside tiki bar with drinks and meals available to grab on the go.
 
Waterlefe’s Grille Room enables members to experience exceptional breakfast and lunch dining without ever having to leave the community, and even brags an impressive cocktail hour. The Grille Room is a facet of Waterlefe’s Golf Club, whose 18-hole championship course is often considered the crowning jewel of the community. Designed by famed architect Ted McAnlis, the golf course is a show-stopping delight that leans into the diverse landscape along the Manatee River.
 
Apart from its distinction in the world of golf, Waterlefe is also known for its spectacular Marina Club. As the only residential marina located on the Manatee River, this club gives members unique access to its waters, which trail out directly into the Gulf of Mexico. With 59-boat slips in a variety of sizes, the marina caters to a wide range of vessels, and the sunny Florida weather means that nearly every day is a chance to get out on the water to experience top-tier fishing, boating, and dining at plenty of waterfront restaurants.

Additionally, a spectacular raffle — the proceeds of which benefit visual arts programs at Freedom Elementary School and Haile Middle School — entices attendees with the chance to win one-of-a-kind art for themselves.
