Atrocious conditions

The owners/management should be ashamed of taking your money with these atrocious course conditions. They have taken good money throughout the season and yet today we experienced

Terrible bunker conditions

Awful tee boxes

Bare patches on many fairways

Cart paths dangerous

Greens were reasonable

Where is the attempt to make a for a pleasant golfing experience?

Junk Golf Course

I’ve been playing this track for 16 years and it has got worse with each visit. It is by far the worse golf course in the Sarasota/ Bradenton area.

Good overall

Price was good with a lot of tee times available. Staff very friendly. Greens were in good shape despite the drought conditions here. Front nine fairways showed the drought conditions much more than the back nine with some bare areas and hard ground. Greens were quick and consistent. Traps were hard to judge (well packed). Slope ratings were on the higher side of what we normally play but seemed appropriate. We will play again for sure.

Course needs some TLC, but greens were decent along with the fairways. Tee boxes need some work. I like, and enjoy the course for what it offers.

I was a little disappointed what it cost my wife just to ride with me. She didn’t play. $25.00 was a little bit much
