Manatee GC

This cours is under new management and the course conditions have visibly improved. My only negative comments are that the traps are not well sanded and the rough has too many bare spots. I am sure this will be addressed going forward.

Enjoyable full size course

Course played great- fairways and greens in great shape at an established facility. Our threesome from Pinellas enjoyed the layout, challenging holes, and several tight fairways, and super welcoming staff. Comfortable but squeaky carts, nice driving range (didn’t use it) and great mix of water, bunkers and great layout made for a fun, if not long, round. Group in front of us was a little slow, but the starter/ranger checked on us and we gave the group the benefit of the doubt and just settled in for a 5 hr round. Worth the price and drive down, and really enjoyed the course.

Slow play

Took three hours to pay 12 holes. Saw a few people taking several practice strokes. Several times done golfers were hitting more than one ball. Where's the Marshall?

RB

I was shocked at the price charged for 1 round w cart & clubs that were relatively worn out

I paid $250 for this That’s 125/each & it was supposed to be the ‘early morning rate’

When I reserved a t time I was quoted $74/rperson. No explanation offered when attendiant was asked

Good Public Course

I’ve played Manatee several times now,early December and mid February this year. Consistent conditions. Over seeded with rye which I found rare but makes for nice green fairways Vs. dead and brown bumuda. Challenging but very fair. Greens are good not great but roll just fine. Can get crowded on nice days so be prepared for possible slow but not a snails pace. Carts are good.

Not really,

any amenities much to speak of but I’m there primarily to play. My only complaint would be that from December to February the price doubled.

$30-40 range to $70-80. I would recommend not paying over that $80 mark, ever. It’s a course definitely worthy of putting on your list if you’re in the area.
