Directionally challenged
As this was only the second time I have played this course in 3-4 years, I thought directional signage was lacking on the course. Somewhat confusing which hole was next

Fantastic Round
IMG is definitely one of a handful of courses on my must play list when I’m in the area. Tee boxes, Fairways and Greens in tip top condition. Fun and fair layout. Just enough water and bunkers to make it interesting and challenging. The is trouble to be had if you hit wayward shots. Very nice practice facilities, chipping area, range and putting green. All in all an enjoyable golfing experience. I plan on returning on my next trip to the area.

Great shape!
Tees, greens and fairways in great shape. Good practice areas; staff helpful; challenging course but fair- greens rolled true. Played because I got discounted tee time but I would go back.

Always meets expectations
The pace of play slowed on the back 9 unexpectedly, but that’s the only negative.Great practice area… for chipping at one location, the driving range and a putting green near the first tee.
Certainly a go to course in the Sarasota area

Best course conditions in area
I've played 6 or 7 courses in area last 2 weeks. The course was in the best condition of the ones I've played. Sadly, we played behind a threesome that thought it was more important to pictures of everything than keep up with the group in front of them. Fun layout, challenging but fair.

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.
