University Park

Nice course Little pricey Conditions were excellent Got a hot deal so we made out OK Pace of play sucked on the back 9 we got to like the 14th hole And came to grinding halt. The practice range was great with a chipping area, bunker area and huge putting green. One of our favorites down here in South Florida. When we finished the help mauled us in the parking lot and I left my phone in the cart. No worries though they found it and I was able to pick it up in the morning. Check your valuables before they drive off with the cart. Will definitely put this on the preferred list.

Course is very nice.

Pace of play was very slow. Tee off at 1:20 on Sunday and no ranger. Only one group in front of us and they played so slow and they never let us go through. Finally we made 18 holes at 5:50pm!

Best course in Sarasota area

This course really is a gem! Everything about it is perfect. There’s an excellent practice area, driving range-included-, pitching area etc. course design, fairway and green condition are excellent. They provide ice and water at several different locations…. The water is filtered. Last year I played with some people (regulars/members) that were a little pretentious…. That must have been an anomaly because today everyone was cool.

Classic Course

Well maintained classic course that is tighter than a lot of newer options but still has the length to make you to hit the driver. Greens are in good shape and run at a fair speed. Beware some of the grainy slopes! Look forward to returning some day.

Popular for good reason

On the expensive side for the area, but worth the price for a quality golf experience. Interesting and challenging layouts, great conditions on the greens, and a very nice practice area and range. The only real downside was that, because the course is so popular and gets so much traffic, the heavy traffic areas on course are a little beat up - at least for us in late December. We'll definitely play here again at least once to try the last 9 we haven't seen

Awesome experience

Played 19-1 courses and it is a long 6770 yards from the emerald tees. May want to consider moving up unless you can bomb 270 plus drives consistently or you're in for a long day. Fairways are tight and greens are tricky. We shot 77 for a 1.6 hdcp and an 82 for a 6.2 hdp players. Tough track but very enjoyable. The cart guys are fantastic people as was the pro shop staff. Everyone was really nice and welcoming. I will be playing regularly here since I live in the area. I'm just moving up a tee next time since my average drive is 240 yds. The par 3's were long from where we played 3 of the 4 over 190 yds. Both of us are over 50 and I am knocking on the door to be 60 in 2 years. Had a blast, shot okay lesson learned.
