Manatee Golf Course

I’ve played this course like 8 times over the past 3-4 years and this is the best i’ve seen it out of those times. The greens have had significant improvement.

We followed a group of six! I have never seen a golf course that allowed five much less six! The ranger response was "take your time because it's slow up there". We had to twist their arms to let us play through at the turn. There was no one in front of them and we didn't seem them again till we caught up to someone on the 18th hole.

Great bang for your buck. Greens are super. Grass on the fairways. Fun great layout.

Fairways were ok but could use some water

Greens were good

Tees were rough. Need dirt, grass and water. Overall playable. I’d play there again.

Staff was very helpful and accommodating. I would recommend this course to all types of golfers. You won’t be disappointed. Pace of play was about 4 1/2 hours, which wasn’t too bad.

Pace of play was way too slow. A longer space between tee times would be great

Green's & fairways decent. Rough IS rough! Biggest reason is --kicking of rain. Central Florida has been exceptionally dry this season.

Still a good value.

Greens, fringe and fairways all in great condition. Fairways all tightly mowed, like hitting off mats. Rough beyond 5 ft off fairway very gnarly. Tee boxes in bad shape

Staff friendly,

Pace was slow even with only 2 three domes ahead of us. Close to 5 hr round with waiting at every tee and every second shot

Maybe the groups are scheduled too closely together to pack people in. Was a Thursday mid morning. Even another 4 minutes between foursomes would alleviate a lot of the waiting

The club is making changes to improve the overall playing conditions. Lots of work around many of the greens. Like the layout and this is not an easy”let it rip” course… need to place your shots. I have played several times over the past 4-5 years, nice to see them put some money into improvements.
