IMG GOLF COURSE
The greens were in great shape they were fast and really consistent speed from green to green. The layout was really impressive. It was fun and challenging. A lot of dog legs that require a lot of shot making. The design makes approach shots into the green very difficult at times. I definitely plan on coming back.

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.
