Nice Surprise

Teed off approx 8am, finished 10:20. Greens were almost perfect, tees boxes were above average and fairways were 95% plus with nice grass. Even though we are in our 70’s, played white tees which left a varity of approach shots. A little confusion leaving #2 green as to which way to turn and a few holes we found water hazards we did not know existed. Definitely going back. Fun layout with generous fairways on most holes.

Noticeable improvements

Manatee Golf Course has come a long way in the last couple of years. Greens are actually quite nice. Fairways have grass. Tees still need a lot of work. We played a 2:00 tee time in 2 hours 50 minutes! No one in front of us. Gotta love October golf in Florida!

Good value

Course was a little rough shape wise but I haven’t been able to play an 18 hole round in 3 hrs in about 20 years so I will take it! Layout was good, fairly wide open and not a ton of challenging elements. Pace of play was good. First course played after relocating down from South Carolina

Great County Course, Snack Bar Closed Early

Had a great time playing this course by myself. Staff were all very friendly, course was in fine condition. There was a decent amount of variation to the holes, about what you'd expect from a Florida muni. Water and some especially tight fairways added challenge but overall course is forgiving enough to be fun for all. My only gripe was that the concession shop closed at 3pm. While they had a great deal of 4 beers on ice for just $12 for the front nine, I was hoping to get a brat and one or two more beers at the turn only to find out they closed at 3pm (I teed off at 2), this made the back nine a bit miserable but in the future I'll just bring some food myself, no big deal. I will be back, alone and with buddies.
