Course conditions

I have to say that they have overseeded this in the past few off seasons and in doing so the fairways are Incredible, the tees are very nice and the greens are smooth and actually very fast. Only suggestion to the greens staff is work on some bare/Sparse spots near a few of the greens. Overall great experience. Management please keep your prices down and reasonable so the average player has decent places to play. You did raise your prices a little too much this season please adjust next season.

Enjoyable and challenging round!

Like so many other courses in Florida lack of rain has led to diminished conditions at this course. Although the fairways and greens were still in good shape but are desperately in need of rain. Conditions a month ago were better but still an enjoyable and challenging course to play! Will return again!

Many Choices

There are manay course choices in the area, this is a moderately priced public course thats pretty non-descript. The price was much less inthe afternoon -but it was crowded...If youre an average golfer - 90-100 youll enjoy this one - better golfers may find it not very challenging

Best Public Course in Area

The Over seeded with rye fairways means a green course and the ball sits up nicely. The “nicer” courses In the area do not do that. Greens are good, roll true, smooth. Nice layout. Very good course, great value!

Manatee - 03/18/2025

The course is in good condition, and the pace of play was reasonable. I think the rates for this course are a little high, but it is in the peak season for snowbirds, so I guess I should expect that. Overall we (me and two invited guests) had fun.
