Greens & Fairways good
The greens and fairways were good although the greens were very firm and hard to hold, they putted well but were quick. The grass around the greens was sparse and not in as good condition as the last time we played just a few weeks earlier. Would not recommend for the price. Pace of play was slow waited every hole and there was no ranger.

Decent County Course
Initial delay due to a Frost Warning. We were the 4th group off the tee box and play moved very well. Course and greens in good shape, with some greens under minor repair

Beautiful day
After several days of cold weather we got a sunny 65* day and had a great day. I’m a Manatee County resident and have played here a few times and have enjoyed the experience. The course is fairly open and reasonably priced when compared to the surrounding options. The driving range is a good place to warm up before the round. Really enjoyed the day and booked another round for later in the week.

This course has some challenging holes
This course has some challenging holes. Not t just a wide open field. Played in the winter, fairways and greens in good shape. Have a decent practice area. Did a nice job cleaning up from the last hurricane. I will play again.
