Nice round

My wife and I have played here before when we stay on Anna Maria. Great course for us to play. The staff is fantastic and the course was good. Some tees a little rough but it is a nice place to get a round in. Thanks

Washrooms/driving range closed

The course itself is nice enough but loads of dry spots and soaking wet ones elsewhere. I needed my waterproof shoes. It was not busy so pace of playing was great but it took a long time in the Pro Shop to get any attention and finally receive our cart chit. That was the only staff we interacted with, except for the cart Marshall who said we could tee off immediately, after being held up in the Pro Shop because a client had been double-charged. It was a very unusual start to a golf day for us.

Not in great shape and sewage small was bad

Two main comments - the course was not in very good shape - tee boxes were rough, greens were so-so, fairways were just OK.

The smell from the sewage treatment plant next door was BAD this day. I understand it is not the fault of the course, but players should be aware.

Convenient playable course

Nice course, easy layout. Fair number of water hazards. Amenities are simple and clean. Staff were friendly (though limited). Good value for the money. Tees were a little beat up due to dry weather, but rest of course in good shape. Rough was rather thin, so errant shots will run out. Would play here again.
