Great Long Golf Course

Wide open fairways, lots of bunker defending the greens, long par-5s and par-3s from the tips. Also lots of wild life! Saw a gator that was over 10 foot long about 30 feet from the tee box on hole 3 and an osprey snatch a bluegill as a meal! Fun experience! Just very spread out course

Always a nice day at Sarasota National.

The course was as good as usual. With all the recent rains, cart path only can slow things down a bit.

Just not the same

I have been playing this course since it opened. It doesn’t have the same feel with all the homes. The course feels disconnected from hole to hole. It’s in great shape and the greens are fantastic but it’s just lost the thing that made it special.

DYN-O-MITE

Truly one of the three best courses in the bi-coun5y area,. Tanks with Lakewood National and Esplanade. Great layout, wide open fairways, suited to any player level. C97rse was in magnificent condition, while others are Browning up. Beautiful landscape as well

Hidden Gem

The course was in outstanding condition. The green were smooth and true. Grass on fairways was near perfect. The rough made the course very challenging, considering that the ball would sink out of sight.. Hitting the ball from the rough was really difficult at times, and made the short shots from the bermuda rough very difficult. Sand traps were wet from all the rain and had to be played accordingly. A good time was had by all.

Awesome Course

Now this is what a 5 star course is and everyone else should learn from 5 star means perfect fairways, greens and tee boxes. Not like the other cow pastures golf course in charlotte country which should be rated as a 2 and guys rate them as 5. My only issue is dirt cart paths. Florida rain and dirt not my favorite to drive on or walk. Great course!

User friendly with great views

Generous fairways and large undulating greens. With very few players midday and 95’ temperatures, I played my round in about three hours. Great course to play.

Sarasota National is SPECTACULAR

The course was in the best shape I have ever seen it with magnificent fairways. The greens had been punched by I am going back next week after these rains to see the greens perfect also.

Always a great course with friendly staff and a very nice 19th hole restaurant
