Fan

The starter and rangers were rude and obnoxious.

They kept on pressuring us to play faster while we played the round in less than 4 hours.

Unacceptable

Great course, staff not so much

Played here and loved the course.

Played a few years ago and forgot how great this course is.

The staff however didn’t leave best impressions.

Proshop reception was “prickly” to say the least.

Starter reception same as above.

I work as a starter at my course back home ( in Toronto area) and I would never treat a customer the way u was treated. Just saying

Great Course

Went out at 8:00 on a Sunday, got paired up with another single, we played the first 9 (holes 10-18) in 1 hour 10 minutes, the second 9 (holes 19-27) were completed in 1 hour 20 minutes, greens were in great shape as was the course, they have an excellent practice area with free balls. Was a tad pricey at $140.00 dollars but could not beat the pace of play

Great course

Tee to green this is the best conditioned course I've postures in several years. Course is a bit long; long par 4s. Challenging but fair

Don’t Try To Rent Clubs

Visiting siesta key for a few days and wasn’t sure if I’d get a round in so I didn’t pack my own clubs so when I found out I could squeeze a round in I figured I just rent some. My mistake. I use stiff flex everything, was told they had them when I booked and they didn’t. The clubs they gave me were in horrendous condition. The putter didn’t even have a grip left on it, it was down to the foam. And the driver shaft felt like a senior flex with no markings to indicate what it actually was, all of the clubs had to be at least 5 years old and not taken care of in the slightest. And to top it off, it wasn’t even a full set of clubs, they’re were only 10 clubs in the bag. For a place that charges over $130 for just the round, you’d expect a full set and at least something from the last couple years and putter with a grip left. Do better.

Not worth the money

Our time got bumped back from 7;24 to 7:32. The guy inside told me “ I don’t care what your phone says”. They did this to let 2 out in front of our foursome. Then they put 2 behind us. Cart part only for 11 holes. They never told us that until we had paid. F this place.

Don't play if there is any chance of rain

Do not play if there is any chance of rain. Played 4 holes and pro shop would only give a rain check for 9 holes. 9 plus 4 equals 13? Won't be playing here for the price... $128 for 13 holes! Lot of golf courses to play for cheaper in better shape.
