Manatee Golf Course

Our first 18 holes at Manatee. The greens and fairways were excellent with one or two exceptions. The layout was very good for intermediate and senior players with manageable hazards and traps and usually large & oversized greens. People were excellent and friendly going out of the way for new players to the course. Will be back.

Good value. Priced appropriately! You still have to hit golf shots & play well. Depending on the tee box you choose it will challenge you. No starter to pair up singles or twosome’s etc. players need to let faster players play through. A bit of etiquette goes a long way. I like that you can play here during peak rates & not break the bank! Under $50!! Awesome! No course should cost $100 to play in my opinion. Thanks for giving average folks a place to play. Keep up the good work.

First impression - Probably the nicest carts I have encountered in some time at a course at this level. The workers in the pro shop and starter seemed kind of grumpy for some reason.

The course - Very traditional back and forth course for the most part. A couple doglegs. The areas around the water seemed a bit low. I was stalled a few times due to heavy rains that blew in and then paused and came back. Finally rained out after 9 holes. I was given a raincheck card where I have to call the manager to discuss raincheck rather than just a certificate to come again. That is kind of lame. So now I have to go to the work of calling and setting that up myself.

Had such a great time out on the course, good conditions & open but challenging layout. Hope to be back soon

Course has a very nice layout for the average golfer, open Fairways with the right amount of hazards. Beautiful scenery greens played well. Tea boxes were in great shape. Cards did not have GPS, so if possible and needed to bring your own. Staff was very friendly and helpful with all questions. Only complaints I would have is that other golfers would repair Fairway divots and ball markers on the greens. That’s not the ground cruise responsibility as much as it is ours.

Hadn’t played this course in a few years and, despite mixed reviews, decided to give it another try. Played late morning weekend round as a single paired with a twosome. Was greeted by Terri in clubhouse, who was friendly and sent me right out. Although driving range was packed, course was not crowded and bordered on being almost empty. Finished in 4 hrs., 15 mins. playing at our own pace. Tees were a bit shaggy but fairways, greens and bunkers were in decent shape. A few greens did have small sand patches (to repair damage) and all greens were slower than what I’m used to. However, the greens rolled true and held even long iron and fairway wood shots. Overall this was a very positive experience and I’d welcome playing this course again soon.

Everyone in my foursome was impressed with the course today. The greens were rolling well and we played in less than 4 hours. We all agreed we would play again.

Enjoy this course a lot but there was such a backup that it made for a tough day. People do not know how to more at a good place. To take 3 practice shots for each shot played isn’t right.

There was a Marshall going around but he didn’t speak to anyone.
