Many Choices

There are manay course choices in the area, this is a moderately priced public course thats pretty non-descript. The price was much less inthe afternoon -but it was crowded...If youre an average golfer - 90-100 youll enjoy this one - better golfers may find it not very challenging

Best Public Course in Area

The Over seeded with rye fairways means a green course and the ball sits up nicely. The “nicer” courses In the area do not do that. Greens are good, roll true, smooth. Nice layout. Very good course, great value!

Manatee - 03/18/2025

The course is in good condition, and the pace of play was reasonable. I think the rates for this course are a little high, but it is in the peak season for snowbirds, so I guess I should expect that. Overall we (me and two invited guests) had fun.

This cours is under new management and the course conditions have visibly improved. My only negative comments are that the traps are not well sanded and the rough has too many bare spots. I am sure this will be addressed going forward.

Enjoyable full size course

Course played great- fairways and greens in great shape at an established facility. Our threesome from Pinellas enjoyed the layout, challenging holes, and several tight fairways, and super welcoming staff. Comfortable but squeaky carts, nice driving range (didn’t use it) and great mix of water, bunkers and great layout made for a fun, if not long, round. Group in front of us was a little slow, but the starter/ranger checked on us and we gave the group the benefit of the doubt and just settled in for a 5 hr round. Worth the price and drive down, and really enjoyed the course.
