1 & 10 at University Park Country Club

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.

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.

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.

The staff at this course are some of the best I’ve encountered in the country. The course is always in great condition and the amenities are excellent.

This 5.5 hour round was compounded by no marshals. The folks I played with wanted to speak to starter at turn but they had shut down when we came at 2PM.

Wish I knew there was so much renovations going on causing the practice area to be limited and loud.

Unsure why the pro shop and starter were rude and curt, but possibly because I was not a member. The bag and parking attendants were outstanding.

This is a beautiful course under the right conditions it was cart path only and I didn’t know that until just before I started my round.For that reason I was not thrilled with course Tues.I would hope there was a way to notify players beforehand at course conditions.

I hadn't played at University Park in many years. The course was awesome, actually my favorite in Sarasota Florida.

4h45min is unacceptable to let happen in the middle of the day and the group ahead is clearly 3-4 holes behind and not a group in sight. Especially when there’s a Marshall monitoring the course.

Course is in decent shape, greens a little rough and not University Park standards but I get it they’re the backup 9 so it is what it is. Around the course in great shape.

Just work on your pace of play monitoring, and cartpath only is not a valid reason for slow play if that’s the response.

I’m trying to get in touch with a Golf Now representative. We enjoyed a great front 9 golf experience today at Univ Park in Sarasota. At the start of our back 9 the weather set in. Lightning made it unsafe to play and it carried thru until dark. Bob in the Pro Shop was very nice but said unless “Golf Now” called him he couldn’t give my Boss and or I any sort of “Raincheck.” I’ve been searching the website and calling listed numbers that aren’t valid trying to seek help.

If I’m not contacted w resolution for my 9/18 hole golf experience soon I guess I’ll just start calling the courses directly.

Ty,
