It is just too slow. You need to space the times to 10 min or have a very active ranger out there.

Course conditions excellent. Staff friendly and helpful. Got off on time at 250p. Front nine extremely slow. Cleared up on the back nine nicely so we got our 18 completed with time to spare. Played here many times. One of the best courses in the area! Highly recommended.

Pace of play was not good.
Teed off at 3:30pm for 9, as that's all I wanted to play that day in reality. Was paired up with a nice couple. Staff was friendly and offered that we could even play more, even though we had paid for 9. However, pace of play was soooo slow, we played one extra hole, and called it quits as group ahead was waiting once again on 11th tee. Waited on every single shot for 3 hours+. I still like the course though.

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.
