Over Booked
Arrived for our 2:36 tee time and had 5 groups ahead of us. Teed off 30 minutes late , but pace of play was great.
Good value, but be aware of over booking..
Great
Best public course in Bradenton. Greens and tee boxes are great. Fairways are good.
Great layout. Will play again.
Slow round
Played a 6 hour round here. Also beverage cart and half way house close at 4pm????
Not great conditions but overall playable if you dont mind a slow round and sharing carts with strangers.
Very pleasant round
Started with friendly check in then very nice round on time . Course a bit dry but so is the rest of the area courses. Lots of water but GPS on the cart warns you ! Greens are a bit slow but every hole consistent . Overall very pleasant round
Early start was OK
Third group off at 7:15AM. Don’t know how the first group could even see their shots since it was still dark. While waiting I heard the staff sharing that the course was “terribly overbooked”. I’m glad we got out when we did as I can see how this tract will quickly back up with 7-8 minute times. The course was just in OK condition. The greens were very bumpy, incredibly slow and apparently the patrons have never seen a ball mark that needed fixing. The tee boxes had weeds that had grown above the other grass so there was a challenge to find an even spot on the tee. Bottom line is that it is in rough shape but priced accordingly.
Pro Shop Staff
Got there the other day and messed up my tee time and arrived 2hrs early. I was a single and notice that it wasnt busy so I figured they would probably help me out and accommodate me. The starter I met said no problem I will be able to get you out. Went inside and told them what I did and what the starter said and the person stated your have Golfnow and its stated check in 15min. Before tee time and then another guy behind the counter said if you went through our reservation system we could help you get out early. I asked again you cant help me and I ha e to wait almost 2hrs to check in and they stated rudely yea.
I told them that professionalism Lacks and I will never come back to play your golf course again I called golf now cancel my tee time which I could do as a member. People in the Pro Shop are very rude, don't go and play there.
Obviously you dont know me and I didn't arrive in the morning and try to sneak out early. It was already afternoon. And you stating that if I booked it thru your personal system there wouldn't be a problem getting me out. Ya Ok. And both of you behind the counter were short and your demeanor was just short of ignorant. I dealt with it all my life so I know the difference you guys need to work on your customer skills.
This is not about rudeness in any way. You cant buy the 2:36 hot deal from golf now, then show up in the morning when the rates are double and expect to be put out as a single in the middle of season. You were treated respectfully. You just tried to do the (absurdly) early sneak out on the twilight rate, and it didn’t workout for you.
For anyone reading this, please see our other reviews. Our pro shop staff are excellent, and extremely friendly.
Very nice course overall
I am a snowbird and have played a lot of courses this winter. There are a few that I would come back to and this is one of them. There are a few holes that play adjacent or the main road and it distracts from the overall course.
Thanks for your positive review. Wish we could do something about that road! Maybe I’ll plant some border plants for privacy this summer. Tony
Great course!
Overall the course was fantastic! Tees were beautiful , fairways were great to hit from and greens were rolling true! Hairy first cut off the greens was a welcome change from the normal tight lies we are used to off the greens here in Florida. Water all over the place made the blue tees quite the challenge!
Thanks for the nice comments. Will share with our awesome grounds crew. Tony
You have got to be kidding right? Unless Tony, himself wrote this!!!
Greens
Greens a bit slow and a little bumpy. Could blame it on a lot of play late in the day but they were so hard I don’t feel like that is the cause.
Sorry for the delay, but we were not over booked. The Hot Deal time at 2:36 is always going to be a little crowded. For the same rate you can get off earlier by booking on our website WWW.GREENFIELD.GOLF
Thanks. Tony
