IMG Academy Golf Club

IMG is a very good golf ciurse with a challenging layout and the prices at this tine of year are excellent. My ownly criticisms are that the pace of play on a very hot, humid day (heat index 96F) was very slow. My 3-some waited on every single shot during the entire round for the 2-some in frint of us. The local drought in Manatee county has been terrible this year and many of the fairways were being lost with few good lies to be found. The greens had been very recently sanded and aerated but they still rolled true albiet a few clicks slower than usual.. Aside from the dry conditions that can't be helped due to the drought and the pace of play IMG was still fun to play. On course amenities such as ice statiions and bathrooms were good.. Sand traps were well raked and in very good condition

Course has a cool setup and a good test. Tee boxes are pretty bare and the rough and fairways aren’t in the best shape. At the end of the day unless you’re a snob it’s a fun track to play and a great deal for the money. Would definitely suggest it to anybody that likes to get out and play different courses.

The course is normally good however they have arrested and sanded all the greens so it will be sub par for at least the next 2 weeks. There was no mention of this when booking or in the pro shop which was disappointing. The fairways are also quite patchy and bare and a lot of the time you can be hitting off soil.

I would give it a month before considering playing there again.

Course greens and fairways recently punched, so it was sandy, but knew that going in, couldn’t beat the price so worth it.

Greens were nice, rest of course is not as good a it used to be. Don’t know what happened. Collars around the greens are pretty bad. Makes it hard to chip and make clean contact. Some fairways had large bare spots. Hopefully the can get it back in shape soon.

Course is in as good as it gets for summer golf in Florida. Greens put true and most fairway shots find good grass. The greens are well protected increasing the challenge. This course gets allot of senior play as many do. From the gold tees there are several par 4’s over 400 yards that are unreachable by most. I played with a great bunch of guys that are members. Their group plays every Friday early. My only recommendation would to adjust the senior tees to allow the game to be fairly played. By that I mean on a par 4 on in two and two putt. Give the old guys a chance. The game would be more enjoyable.

Tee boxes are a mess., fraiways have alot of baldspots.

Bags loaded as soon as we parked by staff, and free range balls. Starter was friendly and gave us the rundown of the course.

Greens were in great shape. Tee boxes need some love. Pace was also good. Range was decent and ice and water on course. Will be back.

Course was a bit dry because of the drought but greens were very good,tee boxes were a little bare but enjoyed my round and will play here again

Fairways are very good greens are great running true ..excellent staff in the clubhouse was very friendly. I can recommend this golf course. I will be back to play it again.

The tees boxes and greens were in great condition! Traps were well maintained. The fairways were a bit burned out in spots but overall they were acceptable. Pace of play was good (we played in 4 hours). Nice value for the the money. !

This was my first time playing at IMG and it certainly won’t be my last. Everything was great. Pace of play was great. We never waited. Group in front of us played fast. We played fast. Everyone around us kept up pace and weren’t rushed. The practice facility was great. The range balls were included as well as the balls on the chipping area. The greens were literally perfect. Every single green. They were amazing. The fairways were great and the atee boxes were really good. All the staff interactions I had were really friendly and good. Absolutely no complaints whatsoever. Can’t wait to play here again
