Walked

Walkable Wednesday

I decided to walk this round, Great decision for a wonderful course. This course gets a lot of play. That being said, you really cant tell. The tee boxes show the traffic the most. Greens, fairways, bunkers all in very good shape. With little rain, the course is still very lush looking with the recent overseed coming in nicely. Pace was good this day. 4hr 10 min. The course plays long but is wide enough to allow for off center shots. Very nice track.

Course is in excellent condition

Great day at IMG on 12/17/25. My only area for improvement would be to have the starter go to charm school. Other than that, the course is great value

First Time Playing

Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Was in excellent condition! Really loved the greens.!

Piece of play was a little slower than I would’ve liked, but probably my fault because I was a single playing alone behind foursomes.

Highly recommended!!!!

Sloooow play

The course is fine, however if you don’t hire a marshal you ste in for a loooong round. Two or three groups take the course hostage and slow everything down. Even if you ask them politely to speed up they just slowed more down! It’s no fun having to wait every shot for 18 holes 😡 It’s always been like that when I have played the course so this is a problem.

Amazing Greens

Challenging course from any tee box but forgiving as well. Beautiful fairways and greens roll like pool tables. Played on a Hot Deal and as always it was great

IMG Academy - 11/08/25

Another enjoyable round at a gem of a course in South Bradenton. Course is in great shape, as usual. Friendly staff makes the round that much more enjoyable. Greens are subtly sloped and always pretty quick - so be cautious of your speed or get there early to hit some putts on the practice green to get calibrated to the speed. Course is visually intimidating in spots, but overall generous fairways - well bunkered and numerous forced carries make this course a challenge for any skilled level.
