Absolute rubbish!
Avoid this place at all costs! Zero customer service and the course is basically a goat pasture.
Great to practice your short game!
The course is undergoing major reconfiguration, so only 6 of the 9 holes were playable. However, to compensate, we were invited to play the six as many times as we wished that day. We played it 3 times.
It was terrific value for money, and very good short game practice. Katie, who runs the Gillespie course (as part of the Bobby Jones complex) was welcoming, helpful and all round nice! Thank you Katie.
Quick. Nice greens.
Walked the 9 hole par 3 course playing 2 balls at each hole in 50 min. Great after work spot to work on wedges and putting. Greens are in great shape with challenging pin locations. Got the lighting deal and played for $15. Worth every penny at that price.
Refresh your golf
Nice extremely friendly golf experience!! Better than spending time on the golfing range across the street at Bobby Jones Range!!so grateful to have this nearby—- wish someone would return my sandwedge left on the 9th green! ! I will need it in Michigan!!
Local Course
Good value to just get acquainted with golf play and easy variety of use of club selection during play. Rough conditions of sand traps and little grassy areas of ball landings.Very friendly, caring staff!! Sarasota is a pricey area of golf play—- not sure of high this course got such a high star rating—- more like a rating for the neighborhood 18 hole course across the street.
Affordable Golf
This course is nice for beginner's golf practice! Or simply fun golfing with family golf of all ages!! Lots of opportunities to practice different shots! Golf is very pricey in Sarasota so grateful this course is available. No soft sands in the traps or grassy areas near the greens and various parts of the fairways for balls to be on top of grassy landings. For the price, this is nicer than hitting balls on a driving range— very affordable golf!. How this course got such a strong star rating is fantasy!!! I have played many pricey coursed that don’t get this high of a star rating!!’ Maybe there is a mix up with the actual pricey Bobby Jones 18 hole course in this time rating!!!
Great place but
The course could really use two different sets of tee boxes it’s a little short could easily be made a little longer
Can't go wrong.
Very nice for an executive course. Greens are in excellent condition. Kate at the desk is second to none. Will definitely go back to work on the short game.
Practice Golf!
Nice staff and place to warm up for winter golf after Michigan cold arrival!!
