Manatee Golf Course

Greens, fairway and tee boxes were in good shape, rough doesn’t have much grass so keep it in the fairway, easier said then done!

Very slow play , we paid for 18 but only got 11 holes in because of slow play . There seems to be a waste treatment retention ponds next to the course and the smell was nauseating to say the least at times . All of the staff very friendly with exception to the lady in pro shop was somewhat unpleasant to deal with .

I found most of the tees and greens in fair to good shape but the fairways and first cut rough need more grass. Could be lack of water but certainly not because of heat stress.

A little pricey. Bu I understand economics.I

It would be nice to see a10 round package for about $600 plus tax.

I was expecting a long line of golfers at the first tee box as this course books 7 minute intervals but no. I was pleasantly surprised on how good the fairways were, the best next to Dunedin CC. The greens were also in great shape if anything were a little slow.

That's it...no complaints and I look forward to playing again soon.

Aside from the few holes adjacent to the sewage treatment plant (pee-ew!), the round was good. Lots of dog-legs, fairways were wide and in good shape, some tee boxes on par 3’s were pretty chewed up (didn’t seem to move tee markers onto grassier areas), greens were in immaculate condition, although very slow. The carts were gas powered - electric would have been more environmentally friendly. The course is directly under the airport flight path, so if very frequent jet engine roar from landing planes bothers you while you are swinging, it’s not the place for you. The ladies in the pro shop and snack bar were beyond nice and helpful. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

The course is fair and in okay condition. The greens were slow compared to some other courses I have played in the area. In all fairness, the course did experience off and on rain for 2 days before my play.
