Manatee

There needs to be a ranger on the course to keep the play moving. I had a twosome in front of me walking and they were playing multiple balls and we had to wait on every hole at the tee and in the fairway.

Most of back 9 is next to a treatment plant, smells and looks terrible. Planes constantly flying overhead. Would be an ok course If looking for just 9 holes and play only the front 9, Tee blocks and greens were in decent condition. We played as a twosome so you expect to be waiting on the foursome ahead, but we waited with three groups stacked up on tees multiple times, never saw a marshal

Slow play and the smell was nauseating!!

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 .
