I Recommend This Course
Decent course and friendly staff
Played 18 on Saturday and had a good experience. Course needed a little work, but was in overall good condition. No beverage cart which was a little strange since I felt it was a nicer course. There are a lot of houses close to the fairways, so hit em straight!! I’ll definitely play this course again in the future.

Great pace of play and good course
I played at Waterford on Saturday, and we enjoyed the experience. The course was in good shape, and we finished the round in under four hours. The staff was friendly and there are nice facilities at the course. It's an easy drive from Sarasota and we'll definitely go back. It is a great value.

Open fairways make round enjoyable
Nice track. Friendly people except for guy taking balls and bags from range. He must get laid by the number of balls he recovers. If anyone’s balls left over, he won’t let you hit them and instead picks them up for resell. Funny. First time I ever saw this.
Pace of play great for popular track with many golfers. Thank you.
