Best shape I've the course in my 8 years of living in the area.
Not much improved over the last 5 years
When the new owners took over ~ 5 years ago, I heard claims that this course would be overhauled and be so good it could host regional qualifiers...I don't think so. The new ownership focused more on the clubhouse and bar area than the golf course. The bar area looks great, but for me the course has to take precedence. The tees were beat up. The fairways hard and dry (the drought doesn't help). The bunkers were like dry river bottoms. The greens were good. I give them a B+. But the rest of the course still needs work...lots of work.
Not well kept
For the price, I didn’t expect such poor fairways and garbage bins overflowing on each hole. I didn’t expect it to be like a fancy club but weeks, dirt and dead grass with poor practice facilities seems like price should be lower.
cold trip
very slow play. fairways need help...lack of rain may have been the problem.
Nice course
Haven’t played here for three years. Course was in great shape. T boxes were ok, fairways were good, greens were great. All staff were very helpful and friendly from the lady in the pro shop, to the starter, and the young lady at the cart return. Pace of play was good. Will definitely play here again.
Course in good shape!
2nd time playing here, good layout and good pace of play!
Improved
They have certainly improved playing conditions from a couple of years ago but still much improvement needed
Lightning fast greens
It’s winter and the grass appears dormant and brown as you travel down the fairway nuts is in good condition - then you get to the green and OMG! Greens are fantastic and lightning fast and roll true. Don’t get above the hole or you’re dead unless you get lucky and hike out. Demanding but highly enjoyable track.
Deceptively tough course
Moccasin Wallow is an interesting course. When the wind is up, this straight forward looking course becomes a handful in terms of reaching and holding iron shots into greens. The extremely quick greens are the course's great defense. You must find your golf ball below the hole to have any chance of scoring a routine two-putt. I doubt this course plays the same way twice, as variable as the wind can be, making the golf course perpetually interesting and likely unassailable.
Improved since last time
The course was in very good condition. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were in very good condition. Will definitely play again.
Better than expected
Played here 2+ years ago and it was in terrible shape. Played on 1/26/26 and it was pretty good. The Tee boxes need work...especially if you play from the blue tees. Some are very bare or have weeds as grass. Most of the white Tee boxes were OK with a couple of exceptions. The greens where very green and thick...some bare spots.... but overall very good. They were slow, but it had rained the night before. The fairways were decent. Some had very good grass, others had many dry spots...but very playable. There are zero amenities, the grill room has been closed for years. There is a new Ed's Tavern Sports bar right next to the clubhouse. There was almost no one on the course, we were a twosome and played through a foursome after 9 holes. The whole round took 2 1/2 hors.
Good shape not great but a huge improvement
Played this course a couple of years ago, it is hugely improved in condition. Greens are in very good shape, with a couple with patches being repaired, but they're on the edges, otherwise they are very good. The fairways are good to very good. The tee boxes need considerable work on some holes. The rough is very rough or missing in places, the sandtraps need attention, they don't rake them regularly. The pice on weekends is a bit too much for this course at this time, but a bit more work and it will be. It's a good track. I would play it again but not on a weekend rate.
Fun ! Narrow but fun!
Great way to end my week! The group ahead of me moved at a MUCH slower pace!
Snowbirds are back
Spoiled to live here in the warm months golf wise. Course was in great shape, greens were rolling true, pace was awful. Teed off at 1pm and raced to beat the sunset at 5:30 on a weekday. Just slow. Will be back, but after the birds are gone.
Great course in great shape.
The course is in amazing shape and is by far the best in manatee county.
