Tatum Ridge Golf Links

I played this course a few years back after the big hurricanes. The course now has several less trees than it did before, and has seen big changes. This now makes the course layout more challenging because it is hard to see the fairway layouts, but less “tree trouble” for slicers. The pace of play was slower than expected- 5+ hour round on a busy Thursday. The layout is good, with lots of variety in length, doglegs, etc. There are also several tee boxes for several skill levels. The greens are fast and challenging (but fun). The biggest negative is the starter, John, he is a jerk. I’m also not a fan of the “pre-pay online only” process for tee times - there is a lack of customer service when you call for questions. But once you’re on course playing, and don’t have to talk to staff, the course is fun.

No water on course

Tee boxes in bad shape

Bathroom in need of TLC

Best and most important aspect of any course are the greens. They were in great shape and consusrsnt and rolled true. Tee boxes need work and fairways were ok.

Enjoyed the course and staff was excellent.

Course condition was typical of Florida, sandy and a little rough, especially this year with the drought. There were just enough obstacles to keep it interesting but overall was a pretty relaxing course.

driving range so so. nice short game area. greens were very fair and quick. not sure why the 16th hole had a fantastic fairway and rest of course was just okay. played with a great group. i will give the course another try. hopefully they will water fairways and tee boxes

Staff wasn’t very nice and the course is/was in terrible shape.

The round took us close to 5 hrs exstreamly slow pace of play.

I have been playing this course for the last several years that I've lived in the Bradenton Area and this is my first time this year. The tees for the White were pathetic. The fairways were poorly watered, dry and sparse, except where drainage was poor. Those sections were waterlogged and muddy. Some of the greens appeared to be constructed of artificial turf. Sorry to say, I won't be back.

This is a fun course to play. Fair mix of Challenging holes and laid back greens. Course could use some water but that is not unusual with these drought conditions. Round moved right along and finished 18 in 4 hours. Fun course!

We chose this course based on the 4 star rating on GolfNow. I can only remember one other course we’ve played in such poor condition. I did think the back 9 was in much better shape than the front and the greens were in good condition. The course had a lot of play so the pace was a little slow, but bearable. I doubt we would play here again because the conditions do not justify the cost to play.

Nice course but due to previous cold and dry conditions, course was average. T boxes, fairway and greens have been watered but back areas looks rough.

Staff was Great!!

Will try again in March or April.
