The Links at Greenfield Plantation

Course is in great condition and the staff could not be more friendly..

To label this as a “best bang for the buck” course does it a great disservice. It is a community course that meets or exceeds expectations for an enjoyable, and challenging round of golf in its price range.

I’ll start by saying this, I like the course for the most part. But I encountered the most awful cart guy/starter I’ve ever met. Older guy, sounds like he’s from New York, acts like he thinks he’s a mod boss. One of the rudest people I’ve ever met in my life. Most likely will not go back, simply because of him.

Good course, in good condition for this late in the season. Love the GPS on the carts as this was our 1st time playing the course. I will play this course again!

I have used golf now at many different courses of all types, all around the state. Very high end and very casual places all alike, I’ve never had a negative experience like I did here at Greenfield.

With that said, the level of pretentiousness of the Staff towards Golf Now users was ridiculous. They all voiced their displeasure in my using Golf Now, the rate I received multiple times— this was not isolated to one employee but all that were immediately present, I remember 3 different individuals. They also mentioned that I could not bring my own water bottle (95 degrees outside) or any sort of carry on bag what so ever. This was bothersome but understandable, but my annoyance with this was that they displayed their own annoyance with me when I asked them to wait a moment to be sure I had everything I needed in my golf bag such as sunscreen, bug spray, my wallet, hat and sunglasses, etc.

To top this off before my round they told me and any other Golf Now User in the vicinity we could not check in for another 11-12 minutes ( about 5 minutes before my tee time) because of the “rate we received”.

After conforming to all of their different stipulations and openly joking about their pretentious attitudes towards Golf Now Users, I noticed that they even removed my key from my cart while I was inside getting my prepaid receipt; like I was going to drive off without paying or something.

It was all uncalled for and extremely puzzling. I golfed 9 holes at a private course Riverstrand earlier that same day and the employees there would never have acted the way this establishment’s did and to be frank... These two courses are not close to comparable, yet they are right down the road from each other. Riverstrand is immaculate.

Overall, the course played well, was nice and enjoyable; But I’ll NEVER be back, thanks to the rude Starters, Pro Shop Staff and Cart Guys! 3 Out 5 Stars and that is just because the course itself was in great shape.

I gave up on this course years ago because of conditions but have to say it’s come along way

The course was in good condition, and the greens were rolling nicely. However, there was a large group tournament in play that greatly slowed pace of play as they were younger and routinely hit several balls from the tee, searched for balls, and fished balls from the water as each tee box behind them stacked with non-group play. Many non-tourney 4somes quit mid round, but we stick it out for a 5hr. Round.

Booked our time with Golfnow, arrived 15 minutes before tee time to check in. Cart guy proceeds to tell me I am not allowed to take my backpack. I explained I am diabetic and my medicine, sugar tablets and other diabetic needs are in the bag. He stated he didn’t care no bags. I explained the other two times I have golfed here the staff approved my bag. Just in case you don’t know, insulin must stay cool and not in direct heat. He again stated he didn’t care, no bags. I went inside to let the man working the pro shop know what was happening. He stated he didn’t care either, no bag. I explained he can inspect my bag, he stated again, he didn’t care. So I had to go golf at a different course who welcomed my disability and even offered ice to my bag. It’s a shame this place does not recognize a reasonable accommodation for diabetics to golf, and it’s apparent the staff do t care. I had a three some and two of us are diabetic so it wasn’t just my diabetic supplements. The cart guy even made the wise comment of, how do we know there isn’t a six pack of beer in that bag. Again I offered them to inspect. They wouldn’t. I will be filling a American Disability Act violation in the morning.

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..

Best public course in Bradenton. Greens and tee boxes are great. Fairways are good.

Great layout. Will play again.
