Nice course except…

The course conditions were very good and the course, playing from the white tees, was challenging but fair. Lots of strategically places bunkers. Greens were in good shape and true to the reads and good pace.

We only saw a cart person once and there were few if any (didn’t see ine) water stations. It was hot and water or gator aide etc was needed. There is no easy place to stop after hole nine to get something to eat or drink.

The worst part is the darn range screens! Every time you left a hole or moved to another part of the fairway, an irritating ad would pop up. All a golfer wants is to see the distance to the green or a bunker etc. It was so annoying that we agreed we would never buy anything from the pro shop. And, we had a discussion about wether we could do a return visit. Get rid of the darn ads! If you want to drum up business, maybe a message every few holes to remind an offer to use your pro-shop discount! First, you need to have a discount. That might prompt a purchase rather than just annoy everyone.

Players notice

I noticed on many holes edges of to cup chews up from players hitting the edges when putting flag back. If you can’t place it in the hole cleanly leave it in. Not a knock on the course but a notice to players to be more careful and courteous

Slow play

It was labor day so the course was loaded with students from the academy. It was a 5 1/2 hour round. Driving range was closed and carts we stacked at the 1st and 10th tee. The scheduled too many golfers and were sending them out 8 minutes apart. Not enough time between groups.

Course conditions are great and friendly staff as always.

Golf course is in great condition from tee to green. Staff was friendly as always. Driving range was closed and no clubhouse for a bite and drink after the round. Great course to play and for the price.

kudus to the maintenance staff

Best greens I have played all this summer, and the rest of the course is in great shape. Played after 2 days of stupid heavy rain and it was mostly dry with no restrictions on carts other than use your brain,,,, thank you. Other than the range being closed to driver, a couple of chopped up tee boxes, a few patched up areas and a few areas in the rough that needed to be mowed it is as great as it is during season. Staff is always 1st class and don't skip the restaurant - bar. A second story that has an amazing view overlooking Sarasota bay.
