Serenoa Golf Club

Recommended by someone at our condo and it did not disappoint. Layout was great, greens were true, and even saw some wildlife. Staff was friendly and cart staff came by regularly.

Only issue was that it rained when we started #5, so we hid under a big tree after finishing. When the rain subsided as group of 3 caught up to us and one guy complained that we cut in front of them, which we didn’t. They rode us the rest of the way and hit up on us a few times the entire rest of the way. No marshals to report them.

Even with that one item, I would highly recommend this course for overall value, conditions, staff, and layout. There is meaningful water on every hole, so be straight or you will pay the price.

Course layout excellent. Some tee boxes need a little work but the fariwways and greens were in good condition. Typical Florida weather, hot and muggy. Very few people on the ccourse. Took two of us 3:35 to play.

Staff was excellent. From the Pro Shop to the resturant. An enjoyable golf outing.

I have played this course a couple of times over the last two years. The superintendent has done a great job in improving course conditions and your golfing experience. The extra rain we got, did help every golf course get green, but Serenoa is looking and playing pretty good.

Very nice course lots of water. GPS carts to navigate course through neighborhood. Cart girls are a plus. Bring extra balls

My first real round in a long time. I havent played this course in 20 years...

Sarasota had water challenges this week with a massive amount of rain, so the course was wet in spots but playable.

Layout was moderately interesting

Digital view on the cart didn't give yardage off the tee to mid-points and the course has a number of water hazards that cross the fairway.

They could have had more water coolers at more holes.

Im not a big fan of practice areas with mats vs real grass.

I live close, so will likely play again, but not a course I am "JONESING" to rush back to..

Course in good shape but there are a number of courses in better shape and more challenging at lesser cost

Played there for the first time on an extremely hot, humid day. I was glad they had water available throughout the course. The course is challenging but fair and the pace of play was just over 4 hours. Conditions were really good, especially considering the drought which has devastated many area courses. Not sure I'll pay the premium price in season, but the summer rate is fair and worth it.

We had a great time course was in great shape. Greens were fast with great cup placement.

The course sucked for the cost. Like a corn field compared to most affordable courses open to the public in SWFL. 50 dollars for this cornfield this time of year was ridiculous. Prior to the round I encountered the maintenance man leaf blowing the parking lot creating a massive cloud of dirt right by the range and putting green and I must have given him a look and he asked me if I had a problem. Very rude when it was he who apparently had the problem considering what he was doing and after the round as I was leaving a woman in a golf cart with a pull cart strapped to the back area with the wheels hanging off the side of the cart drove past me flying and the wheels of the pull cart hit my car putting a huge scratch it in. I turned around to find her but she was gone. I do not recommend this course considering the condition it was in. I golf 3 times a week in the Fort Myers area for the last 3 years and use Golfnow exclusively to book and review the courses I play almost always and this was my first negative review

The course was in pretty good shape. T box’s really needs some attention. The whole course needs water. Very dry.

fairways tee box great shape greens very good with a couple with bare spots all& ALL GOOD VALUE

I wish I could give this place anything but 1 star, but alas I cannot. Showed up for a Saturday tee time as a solo, nobody got paired with me. First thing starter says to me is “you can’t play through” to which I responded “not even if I get waved through?”, he said no.

Fast forward to hole 2, the group tries to wave me through and I inform them that I’m not allowed. They were nice, but their pace of play was horrid - the group ahead of them was at least 2 holes ahead by the time I got to the 5th hole (1 hour and 20 minutes later). As I was pacing for a near 6 hour round and still waiting to tee off on 5, I asked the Marshall again - no playing through? He said no, so I turned around and left.

If the tee sheet looks ok, then by all means go ahead. I’m sure the course isn’t always this backed up, and the course was in good shape for the price, but their ability to manage a weekend crowds pace is worse than I’ve ever experienced.

When we arrived at Pro Shop to check in the guy told us we paid double the price that we would have paid on their site.
