I Recommend This Course
Great conditions and fast greens
Always enjoy playing IMG staff is very friendly and course is always in great shape. Keep it out of the sand traps and you have a chance to shoot a good score. One of the best courses in the Bradenton Sarasota area.

Great course
I had a great time playing here again. I got paired up with 3 members which helped because I played here years ago. The only drawback was it’s close to the airport and the jets landing takes away from the serenity that you’re supposed to have on the golf course.

Best course I played
IMG course was beautifully maintained this winter. I played 6 courses in February in greater Bradenton and IMG was the only one with green rough that contained runout. Greens were consistent, sand traps were plentiful, but playable. I will schedule golf here again next February.

Great course, slow play
The course is amazing! Nice layout and in very good e. One suggestion would be to have a Marshall on the course to ensure that speed of play is maintained. The group in front of us played exceptionally slowly. 4:45 for a round of golf is excessive.
