Blue/Red at Myakka Pines Golf Club

I brought a foursome to the course that I booked on golf now and when we showed up we wanted 3 carts so that 2 of the wives who are handicapped and never play golf wanted to ride along with their spouse and enjoy the nice weather and see the birds and such on the course and we were prepared to pay for the third cart that was not offered on Golf Now and did not state thier policy . The course msnsgrmted started that we would have to pay the 77 dollar fee for the extra cart for the wives to ride along and we asked to speak to a manager who was very rude and unwilling to make any exceptions as they were not busy at all on Super Bowl afternoon. We explained that we would not be coming back to this course if this is the way they treat our wives who are handicapped and just wanting to ride along. I will be sure to let all who will listen about the way we were treated. Bad management decision on her part. We would not have objected to paying a cart fee and we told her that and she refused. She had an opportunity to take care of a good customer who would have brought many people to this course but we will go to Heron Creek or other courses in the area were they value customers and treat them with the respect deserved.

Course condition, pace of play and enjoyment factors were all great. Aprés golf sadly let down by lack of somewhere to eat and enjoy good company.

It was great to see a driving range that you can test any club in your bag including driver. The starter was quite efficient and very organized.

I've never seen that many alligators on one course (none were too scary) but it kinda took my mind off some poor shots by me.

We had lunch afterwards where we enjoyed a couple of sandwiches but the Caesar salad with chicken was very underwhelming and small.

There is some construction adjacent from the course which gave our group a bit of sadness as it removes some of the 'wilderness' aspect of this course.

Too much construction creating poor atmosphere

Starter had no idea what he was doing as I showed up 40 minutes early, hit some balls and returned 10 minutes before tee time. He then went to see with other starter and didn’t return. I chased him down after waiting 8 minutes to only find out the group I was with was already on tee box

No ball washers on cart

No beverage cart for all 18 holes was to be seen

Pace was super slow

GPS does not allow cart into lo to unload clubs. Family members have worked at various courses in VA and Nj..

A scam to try for a second "tip" after tipping ar the bag drop. 50 years of golf....never seen this before

P.s. "members" are allowed to drive into lot. Much safer drivers, i presume. Smells like a scam.

Played 1/28/2026. Pulled up to bag drop. Staffer says “what’s your tee time, last name?” Told him my teetime and last name and he said.” whoa, you guys are way too early. We don’t have any carts for you.”

I said. “ no worries, we’ll just chip and putt and hit a few balls.”

His response “you guys are not going to bang balls for an hour.”

If he worked at the course where I work in Michigan, he’d be a one shift wonder.

Tone of voice, facial expression, not a thing friendly about the guy.

There’s a small bathroom on the course. Water/ice machine fill of sand. The water/ice machines at clubhouse work, but no cups. No towels in bathroom.

For $103 cash for 18 holes, I’d rate as a 1 star.

Besides it being 38 degrees when I tee’d off, course was great. Played here a number of times and the staff is always very friendly and accommodating.

My go to course fr price (Jan - Mar) and pace of play. Usually 4 hr round.

Need to play referred lies in few fairways. Greens are quick.

Great range

Course has gone through some major improvements since playing it a year ago. Look forward to playing it again!

Plenty of time to admire every blade of grass on the course. Sprinkle in some forced small talk with the multiple groups ahead of you and you'll leave with new friendships bonded in social suffering.

Tee boxes in good shape. Losing a couple of greens on blue coarse.
