Over priced for the IMG hype

Layout is fun but the course is not in very good condition. Weeds all over the place and not very well kept.

Good value for money. However the course lies directly in the flight path of Sarasota airport so it is quite loud.

Actually was rained out after first nine holes.

Actually was rained out after first nine holes. Would be worth a do over. I should have asked for a rain check. However it was raining to hard. So much for 30% chance of rain.

Good shape for what it is

Fairways and greens in good shape, houses are close on some holes, bo food on the course, snacks and drinks

only on the cart, I found the course annoying with weird rough, mud and unnecessary tight spots in the fairway, course knowledge is definitely key, I think if I play it a few more times, it would be more fun but there are so many other fun courses to play in Sarasota. Should really be a $35-40 course.

If tees and fairways were as good as the greens this would be 5* course. Greens the best they have ever been and fast. Love playing here.

Challenging greens. Very fast. Fairways were good with some thin spots. Tees and rough were both good. Traps had reasonably good sand. Rate of play was good. I would play again.
