The Troll is still at large.

Management has been informed of his tyrannical behavior but no one wants tame him.

Perhaps this is a good enough reason to change courses. As a matter of fact, he recommends that you change your place to play golf.

His behavior would only be tolerated at a county course.

Frustrated

I skipped the 1st hole so I would not have to wait for the club league players. they were allowed to start 15 min late which ran into my tee time. There were three foursomes in league play. The course needs to force play or make them wait. I had a 7:15 tee time. There were no tee times behind me for at least 35 min. When I passed them on the 1st hole the first foursome still had not made it to the green, and I was already 10 minutes behind.

Nice layout

Been a few years since playing here. Greens were in great shape not real fast. Fairways were mostly in good shape. Tee boxes were a little beat up and dried out. I bought a small bucket of range balls and you hit off a mat. One of my playing partners wanted to hit a few drivers to warm up and he went ahead of mat at end of bay and was immediately reprimanded to stay on mat. I believe that wasn’t necessary. Our group had a good time other than that incident.

Horribly overbooked

There were 10 people booked for the same time. Six people were booked for the time after starting time.

There was a large group that jumped ahead of us who had an employee in their group. He was aggressive, loud and very rude when. The guy I played with suggested that the same employee was very rude in the past to him as well. Aside from that the staff was very nice.

Course very good condition, greens on the slow side but good shape. Manatee county should be ashamed of the management of the course. They take the green fees and that is all the staff does. The snack bar people are good but the pro shop, cart barn, and starter are rude and not very helpful.

Rly

Course was in good condition, greens slow but were good condition. My complaint is with management as they take your $$ and then they forget about you . No starter no ranger. We were a twosome so I understand pace of play. There was a threesome a foursome a onesome and 2 twosomes ahead of us. A starter could have combined these groups and play would have been much more enjoyable and pace of play would have been better. Manatee always known for taking you $$ and nothing else. It is a reasonable priced course but the staff is What staff!!

Very nice course!

Enjoyed playing here! The reason I gave the course a good instead of excellent is because of some of the teeboxes and fairways. But the greens were in very good shape. Number 4 par 5 with the narrow fairway and creek to cross cost me a round in the 80's. LOL
