Overpriced

The course greens were irritated and a number of ongoing repair work. Not advised

of the conditions - very poor considering what

they charge for green fees.

Fabulous Trek and great shape!

Beautiful course that presents a challenge from whatever tee you choose. The course in fantastic shape and the pace of play was great. Coming from the east coast of Canada, this course was a treat for this time of year. Recommend any golfer and there are tees that accommodate for any handicap.

Good course, poor service

I know this is an upscale private course, but if you don’t appreciate outside play then don’t offer it. Bag drop people not welcoming or friendly. I asked for directions to the starter and he pointed down there. I said this is our first time here and he said ‘I figured that out”. No “welcome, how can I help you”.Pro shop no friendller. Starter too buy complaining about everything that was going on and how he had to work yesterday on his day off. It’s a beautiful course, great putting green and driving range, but we won;t be back. Not worth the money to be treated like that.

Best course in the Sarasota area

University Park is my absolute favourite course to play in the Sarasota area. The fairways, greens, tee boxes are pristine and magical to play. We played a round in under four hours and enjoyed lunch at the outdoor bar afterwards. A wonderful day!
