Excellent but costly

$95 with a Golf Now hot deal which is by far the best rate I’ve seen.

Rack rate was $161.in the afternoon

It’s $ 175 otherwise.

Course is great.. practice area is terrific.

GPS on the carts

First time playing the course in a couple of years. It’s as good as I remember it.

Great value, nice track

We very much enjoyed this course, reasonable rates, nice layout and well kept. The staff (aside from the on-course staff) were reasonably unfriendly and stand-offish, especially the starter, his first name begins with an "A". We played 1-9 & 10-18, I am told the 3rd nine is the best nine. I would go back and play it again.

Best Greens

The greens fee is on the high end for Sarasota, but you do get a private course experience with some of the best greens in the area. We played early morning on a cooler day, which probably helped keep our pace of play under 4-hours. I've played all 27 holes over the years, but this year we played 19-27, followed by 1-9. Plenty of water hazards, but I find the course to be enjoyable and fair at about 6,200 yards and around 125 slope from the Platinum tees. Staff was helpful and carts were in great shape. The outdoor bar area was very nice.
