Nice course

I think paying $100.00 is too much for this course but that seems to be the going rate for Florida golf.

Good day of golg

Hats off to the staff in the pro shop. My wife cut her arm on the golf cart. We called for some first aid. They were there in a flash and had what we needed to finish the round. Super friendly. Thans.

Worth It

Worth the $92 green fees. Attention to detail every step of the way. Pay the extra $ and enjoy your time vs a beat up, overplayed course to save a few bucks. Great practice facilities and pace of play. Not many thin lies, greens rolled great, nice tee boxes. Very enjoyable round.

Pace of play is an issue at IMG. Need a ranger that will move along slow groups.

great course

I've played here several times before and it's always enjoyable. Course is in great condition and on this particular day it wasn't very crowded so my playing partner and I played 18 holes in under 4 hours. Price is still a little steep but, overall a great experience.

Directionally challenged

As this was only the second time I have played this course in 3-4 years, I thought directional signage was lacking on the course. Somewhat confusing which hole was next

Fantastic Round

IMG is definitely one of a handful of courses on my must play list when I’m in the area. Tee boxes, Fairways and Greens in tip top condition. Fun and fair layout. Just enough water and bunkers to make it interesting and challenging. The is trouble to be had if you hit wayward shots. Very nice practice facilities, chipping area, range and putting green. All in all an enjoyable golfing experience. I plan on returning on my next trip to the area.

Great shape!

Tees, greens and fairways in great shape. Good practice areas; staff helpful; challenging course but fair- greens rolled true. Played because I got discounted tee time but I would go back.

Always meets expectations

The pace of play slowed on the back 9 unexpectedly, but that’s the only negative.Great practice area… for chipping at one location, the driving range and a putting green near the first tee.

Certainly a go to course in the Sarasota area
