Wednesday MCP! Manatee County Pars!!!

The cart guy Teddy couldn't be friendlier. Very helpful with great tips on the course. Carts were very clean and had plenty of power to go through all 18 holes even though it was the end of the day. Our group had a great time and the course had its small challenges. It was great for our group. Definitely going back.

Starter was late for dinner

My son and I went out yesterday and had a 5:30 tee time. We tee’d off about 5:15 and played 18 in 3hrs. So when we came back through the starter yelled at us and said ‘let’s go” I stopped the cart and said what did we do wrong it’s 8:15 and still light out sorry you want to go home, but we paid for 18 and played 18. I’m not sure why they have 5:30 tee times if they are going to harass you.

Great Work by groundscrew

Last year this course was unplayable- more likely to hit a hole in one than to find a blade of grass. A couple of tee boxes weren’t back yet, but the course was in really good shape considering the lack of rain- kudos to the staff!

Course Conditions: 7/8/23

From a consistent 78-83 golfer:

Greens were punched and sanded. Very slow and rough. Tee boxes on 75% of the holes were bare and mostly sand. Fairways were hit or miss, most had weeds. A lot of the people who play here are new golfers so it’s slow and the etiquette isn’t quite there. This should be a $15-20 course max, anything over is unreasonable. If you want to get out there to drink beers and have a good time with friends who are new golfers, this is your place

Greens are nice

I like this course, great value, greens are in great shape, tee boxes are not in great shape but that’s not too important to me and they seem to be working on it, fairways are rough in a few spots but very normal for Florida this time of year, there’s one Marshall who’s always yelling at everybody, but every other employee I’ve encountered has been awesome

Happy with experience

For July in Florida, I think the conditions, such as extremely dry tee boxes, are to be expected. Temperature was mid-90s.

This could become my go-to course. I like that it's a fairly open layout. I found the staff (pro shop check-in and man organizing the carts) to be friendly and helpful.
