White/Blue at Myakka Pines Golf Club

5 hour 10 minute rounds are horrid golf. You need to do a better job managing the pace of play..

Friendly staff, pace of play was good. Definitely a good value

Keep up the great improvement remove the old stumps best greens around thanks to your staff on the great improvement

If you haven’t played Myacca you need to.

They have super customer service, include the range in your green fee and have three nines to stager starts to manage pace of play.

We neither had to wait or have anyone push. The Alligators were out sunning themselves on a half dozen holes.

They ask when you arrive if you’ve played it before and get special Attention if your new.

Course was very wet. Fairways were at best average and the greens were just OK. Knowing we have had a fair amount of rain it seems drainage is a problem.

I got a fairly good deal on GN so I gave rated the course 4 stars. If it was any more money to play, I would've lowered my rating. Staff is super nice...young man in the shop and the starter both were very nice. No cart girl which was OK but really wish they would offer something but we drove right by the restaurant after 9 so you can definitely pick something up at that point. Pace was surprisingly really good. Teed off around noon on a very nice day and finished in less than four hours. Now the foursome behind us did hit into us a few times even though we were waiting on the group ahead of us to clear...only happened a couple of times but aggravating part was they were members hitting into us so no excuse. Anyway, the course itself (Blue and Red nines) the layout is decent with some holes that move both ways and enough water/trees/hazards to keep you on your toes. The condition was not very good. Greens were a touch on the slow side and pretty grainy. It was a little odd that the greens felt really soft as you walked on them but weren't as receptive as they felt like they should be. They weren't firm by any stretch but just walking on the green they felt very soft so you'd fly it a little further than normal but then the ball would release. But other than the speed and grain, they were OK. The fairways and bunkers were not very good and course doesn't seem to drain well. Plus, they allow members to drive their own carts so there are a lot of spots that have no grass because the members exit in that spot (has to be members because they have GPS carts that will lock up if you get that close o the green). So since it doesn't drain well, those spots became mud. It hasn't rained in several days so I was surprised at how many mudballs there were. But again, for the price it wasn't a terrible deal. Seems very mom and popish which normally I like better than the uppity courses. But this almost seemed too much so...

If you can get a great deal on GN or somewhere, you won't be unhappy but if you pay a normal rate, you will probably leave unhappy.
