I Recommend This Course
Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Was in excellent condition! Really loved the greens.!
Piece of play was a little slower than I would’ve liked, but probably my fault because I was a single playing alone behind foursomes.
Highly recommended!!!!

Sloooow play
The course is fine, however if you don’t hire a marshal you ste in for a loooong round. Two or three groups take the course hostage and slow everything down. Even if you ask them politely to speed up they just slowed more down! It’s no fun having to wait every shot for 18 holes 😡 It’s always been like that when I have played the course so this is a problem.

IMG Academy - 11/08/25
Another enjoyable round at a gem of a course in South Bradenton. Course is in great shape, as usual. Friendly staff makes the round that much more enjoyable. Greens are subtly sloped and always pretty quick - so be cautious of your speed or get there early to hit some putts on the practice green to get calibrated to the speed. Course is visually intimidating in spots, but overall generous fairways - well bunkered and numerous forced carries make this course a challenge for any skilled level.
