5:20 mins

The Good: The layout was fun with tees for all levels. Fair mix, well bunkered and good variety of shapes.

The greens ranges from good shape to in desperate need of repair.

Beverage cart and halfway house available!

But this round took FIVE Hours and 20 mins. Our foursome included 2 w average golfers so we weren’t quick. We waited on 17/18 tees and every fairway.

Wildlife made the wait a little entertaining.

Sadly- I’m unlikely to return. SJW

Dry conditions, great layout

Really liked the layout of this course with some interesting holes. The pace was super slow at first but after two holes opened up. Greens rolled better than most I’ve played in area. The lakes on course need water bad. Overall good experience, still a bit pricey, but everywhere is way too much.

5+ hours. No thanks.

Been here in the past, won't be back in the future. First the starter made our 2-some wait for the 2-some he chose to pair us with to finish at the driving range for 15 minutes. Then we continued along a 5+ hour round being held up by a foursome a hole ahead of us. No rangers on the course to ask for assistance. Then when we did finish, and sunset, the staff tried to hurry us out to get the carts in.

Canadian snowbirds who been coming down to the Bradenton area for several years. Have played the course in the past but were never overwhelmed. It’s been 3 years since we last played. Have to say the new ownership has done a tremendous job. We were pleasantly surprise. The course is in great shape. The staff very friendly. We have friends coming down in April can’t wait to take them out on this course.
