Private Course Experience while Traveling

Beautiful semi-private club. Course was in fantastic shape, and the pace was excellent with how busy the course was on a Monday afternoon, 4 hours 10 minutes. I would recommend UPCC for anyone looking for a top notch public golf experience. This course should be on your list to play if traveling to Bradenton/Sarasota.

Favorite one played

Played many courses during our 6 week stay in Florida. I went back to play it again because I enjoyed it so much. Great experience all around!

Nice country club experience

Course is in very good condition and the greens are superb right now. One of my favorite pay-and-play courses in the area. Nice outdoor bar at the clubhouse, and the food is good. Let down only by the fact that on this occasion I paid full price but could only play 12 holes due to slow play and fading evening light.

Nice course, nice day.

Its a beautiful course with enough variety to make it interesting. The greens are in good shape and are not excessively difficult. It took almost 4 1/2 hours to play 18 holes. There is no additional charge for use of the driving range. Practice facilities are excellent.

Excellent Cours but very pricey

Enjoyed it but can't afford the rates. MIddle nine (of 3) is exceedingly difficult. 10th hole is a nightmare. Third nine is more open and playable. Good condition, enjoyed the challenge.

Course conditions were very good, especially considering the previous day's heavy rainstorms. Always enjoy playing here; it's a nice challenge, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The clubhouse outdoor bar is great - good club sandwich! Green fees during the season can be high, but this is one of the better pay-and-plays in the area.
