IMG review

The course is great!

The only issue with the round was a group of college kids in front of us that spent more time goofing around than golfing.

Made for a very slow pace of play, but in all honesty, watching their care free demeanor brought back some good memories for my wife and I, So All is Good.😎

Fast greens nice fairways

One of the nicest courses in the Bradenton Sarasota area. Good value in relationship to other courses in the area. Afternoon tee times start out a little slow but once we made the turn it was clear sailing. Very playable course for all skill levels.

Closing time

Had 2 holes left and was told by a employee that the carts had to be returned at 7 o'clock

Didn't get dark till 8

Why would you allow tee times after 3 if you can't get finished

Then couldn't by any apparel after round

Doors were locked

Nice course too bad they can’t manage it better

I should have known that with less than 10 minute tee times that it would be a slow round but too find the two groups in from of us as a 5 and then a 2 it was extra frustrating. It seems like they could afford to invest in a ranger. The cart messages saying that your a getting further and further off the pace when you are right on the tail of the group on front is just insulting and frustrating. Maybe if they had someone on the course managing things it would be better. I. The end we had to drive in from the 16th tee to meet their cart return policy and that was 5 hours after start.

On the positive side, I like the course and it is in better shape than many of the Golf Now options. Also for the first time I actually saw a beverage cart out on the course.

Great place, in great condition. Disappointed that two players were able to jump in front of our foursome on the 5th hole which slowed our pace down.

Other than that, it was great and we will return.

Courses is in excellent condition

The course is in great condition. The pro shop was being renovated. It was very busy but the starter was on point putting together foursomes and getting people out in a timely manner.
