IMG Academy Golf Club

The Lakes course was in great shape and the shot gun start moved the pace along nicely. Yes, would recommend this course and will play it again next year. Thanks!

Course was very nice and greens were in good shape. Not very busy from around noon on. We like it because it's very open and not a lot of chances to lose balls!

Course was in great condition. Kudos to Steve and his crew!

As usual, I had a good time. Always a pleasure to play a good course with great amenities. My only complaint is other golfers who don’t fill their divots or fix their pitch marks on the green. Everybody wants to play a nice course but doesn’t seem to want to take care of it. Sometimes I think everybody ought to take a playing test to prove they deserve to be on the course.

Great course. Met and played with three great gentlemen and had a lot of fun. The only downside was that the t boxes were a little rough.

Challenging course in decent condition for July. Tee box’s and fairways are sparse, but the greens are perfect. At $65 for 18 holes + cart it’s the best value off the island. Also, check out the ICON for a beverage after the round and enjoy the bay view.

The fairways and greens were in great shape as they usually are. I love playing the IMG course.

A good course value for the conditions. But we did have issues with the older members playing excessively fast and the Marshalls trying to make us play excessively fast. The starter tried sending us off 15 minutes before our tee time saying “iv got 6 groups behind you”. Well we weren’t done putting and warming up so we didn’t want to go early it was a 8:25am tee time. Well on the first hole they were right on us. We stayed 5-10 minutes ahead of pace the whole round but had the Marshall come up to us on hole 7 saying we were holding people up and needed to speed up. He said we needed to catch up to the group in front of us even though their tee time was 30 minutes ahead of us. Which we did catch on hole 9. We told the Marshall that we weren’t going to play any faster considering we were ahead of pace and wanted to enjoy our round which we completed in under 4 hours. He wasn’t a fan of that and continued to argue with me and my playing partner. Again course was nice but I’d like to enjoy my round which I paid for and not be bullied to play faster to appease people who play at that course multiple times a week.

Steve, Del, Chuck and the crew are awesome! Always professional and accommodating. Love this course!

This course is always in great condition and at a reasonable price. I read they recently punched and sanded the greens but it was all cleared up, greens were great!

In addition to some recent work on course, the drought has crushed this course, with many fairways having large patches of no turf. Greens were in respectable shape. It will take some time for this course to come back. Like the course and layout , but these conditions were a bit shocking. Tee boxes were horrendous from whites.

There’s been very little rain here and the greens were still in good shape. Recently punched but not a problem. Fair ways were average but didn’t affect play much. Challenging layout due to bunkers.

The course is still in very good condition, considering the extreme drought situation we've been in and recent aerificaton. Well worth it. The greens were phenomenal. Kudos to the grounds crew!!!

This course was great! Very playable for all experience levels. Really can’t beat the price tag for what you get here at IMG. Greens were punched a few days prior and fairways were thatched but you could hardly notice.

Staff was helpful, tee box’s were in poor shape as well as the fairways. Hit down the middle and your second is on dirt.

Played IMG Golf course. We have played almost every course in Manatee and Sarasota plus several in Tampa Bay.

This was the second worse conditions, design and amenities. All fairways are dead, clumpy and have allot of hard dirt. The greens were aragated and still better than most of the boring course. Poorly labeled.

There was a small animal corpse on one of the tee boxes.

The golf carts were not aligned well with OOB. The cart also hesitated allot.

No amenities other than a small cooler and some snacks in the proshop.

Pace was good. Played at 3pm.

Will never go.again. not worth it.
