Course was challenging tee boxes needed a little work, Greens were in great shape and challenging
Par 3 Course
It was not clear from the course description that this was a par 3 course. We expected a regular 9 hole course. We had the course to ourselves, just a few other groups visible. Fun enough, working on approach shots and putting. Course is in fair condition at best.
Gillespie Par 3, Sarasota, FL
A very nice, easy paced, course for beginners and those who want to hone their iron skills, and for the right price, considering its location. We were greeted by Ken who is friendly, easy going, knowledgeable and very accommodating. He is an asset to their team. Easy access to the facility is a plus.
Great potential
Course layout is great, if they pay a little more attention to cleaning this up (bunkers need work)
I know they are concentrating on the 18 hole course, but maybe they could spare a few guys a couple days a week to get this one sorted out, once they do that, guarantee getting a tee time will be difficult.
Over we love it, been golfing here lately and teaching my son the game, and he plays for free 👍.
Fun course
Had a lot of fun greens were good, it’s only 9 holes for 25.00 and cart is not included it costs 5 more for a cart
Perfect pitch and putt course
All par 3s from 150 yards or less with some tough greens
Great for being in a pinch with time or new to the game
Good for knocking rust off
Wife and I took some time in Florida to escape the cold in the north. Played this first to get back in the swing. Quirky lay out, thin fairways. But, we had enjoyable time.
