I Recommend This Course
Best deal around
This course is amazing, considering the drought conditions we've had for months. The grounds crew needs to be commended for never really losing the course. Always very playable.

Conditions (Late June, ‘25) Are Excellent
Top tier course which is in very good shape. Friendly and accommodating staff (especially starter ‘Tim’). Greens are firm, fast and true. The best test of golf in West Bradenton at this price point.

Difficulty Moderate
Long day
The course was in mediocre condition and the pace of play was ridiculous. We saw two Marshalls during our round driving along the course, but the pace of play was excruciatingly long. It took well over five hours to complete our round. I won’t be back and I don’t recommend this course.
