10 & 19 at University Park Country Club

Always a great challenge playing University Park. I highly recommend this course.

The course layout is excellent, and considering the hot/dry weather we've had, the fairways were in excellent shape. The only downer was that the greens had been recently punched, and putty was brutal.

I booked it through golf now and there was a course alert but when I called and asked if the course was in good condition. They said the course alert was because whole 19 through 28 were not available. Nobody said anything about the fact that they had just aerated and it was like putting on a plinko board. Most courses usually offer a discount when they're aerating, but it was still $125.

Also, there was a couple that was really slow in front of us. The Marshall came by and actually told us that it was a couple of members that they talked to all the time but apparently don't seem to speed them up.

I like this course. I think it's one of the best in Sarasota and I definitely recommend playing it. I just think at least in this instance they should have been more honest.

I was impressed with the facilities, the staff, the course, and even the members that they paired me up with.

The course is challenging but playable and the conditions exceeded expectations.

I think I paid about $125 for the round but it was worth it.

I will be back.
