Burnt and Dry

Fairways and greens are burnt out. Need water and maintenace. Staff was very friendly. Should be charging $20 a round. Good layout but needs much TLC.

Average, at best

I played this course when it was Imperial something, and heard that the new owners were doing good things with it.

This course looks nothing like the photos. The tee boxes were in ok shape, the greens and fairways need some work! There are numerous greens that had newly planted sod. The parking lot alone told me what sort of round we were in for. Not good. We did get some pretty heavy rains the day before, and the course was mostly dry, so at least it drains well.

Tori behind the bar was great and the food was really good too.

There are much nicer courses in the area for the same rates, or better. Maybe the course is going through some things and may get nicer later, but if it stays the way it was a few days ago, we won't go back.

Very disappointing. Have looked forward to playing The Moc.....conditions were tough. Greens obviously being repaired on many spots. Fairways are thin, not a lot of grass and still paid full rate. It will be long time before we try again..........

Thank you for leaving your review. Our greens have been patched but you can see we have flags away from the repaired spots. Many people love our fairways as they are firm and fast. I wouldn't call them bare more coming out of dormant season and have lots of coverage. We look forward to you coming back to play when you are ready.

thank you for leaving a review after playing on a hot deal. I am sure you may have paid the Hot deal price that Golf now has set. Our golf course is in very good shape and have resodded the areas that had struggled this winter. Please read other reviews to see if this one matches up.

Wallowing in Uncertainty

We booked a 9:30 teatime with golf now, who then telephoned to ask us to switch to 8:45.

On arrival at 8:15, we were told our start time would be 8:52.

At 8:22, the starter rushed us out to the first tee. This was not a bad thing because it put us out in front of the crowd, and our playing time was excellent ( less than 3 hours for a twosome) but it seemed a little disorganized..

The course was in good condition, some of the greens were under repair, but fortunately they never interfered with our play.

My playing partners gps recognized the course under its old name, and mine had the holes numbered differently. 1 was 10 and 10 was 1 etc This didn’t detract from the enjoyment.

The course was reasonably challenging, and my playing partner found some of the tee shots a little narrow.

We will play this course again.

Thank you for your review as we want to explain how GolfNow and the golf course work. Golfnow does not have an integration with our tee sheet so we do our best to manually block the tee times once others are booked. Once we received your email we contacted Golf Now and had them contact you to find a tee time that worked. We hd both our members group which teed off at 9:00 am and had an extra group as well as the Mediocre Golf Association who also showed up with an extra time. My starter Jerry wanted to get you out ahead of both groups so that you would be able to play as quick as possible. We are a rare golf course who doesn't try to oversell our course so that pace of play is always quick. We are glad that you were able to play a quick 3 hour round on a Saturday morning and hopefully you were able to enjoy our great Moc bar and grill. Our food is fantastic and hope you enjoyed the entire MOC experience.

Beware !

A “Cow Pasture” without the cows is the only way to describe this course. The greens were patched with sod and never mentioned at the pro-shop. The greens were not cut in the past several days although they were mowing the practice green. There was no starter, there was no Marshall, there was no one in the pro-shop when I wanted to ask about the afore mentioned staff.

The course is in the worst condition than any of the course I have played in Florida in the past six weeks. AND they charge a ridiculous price to play. GOLF NOW should drop the course until conditions improve or the price drops to a reasonable rate due to the very poor conditions..

On the bright side, the staff in the restaurant were friendly..

Thank you for leaving your review. You are correct that greens had not been cut in a couple of days because the staff was resodding all of the bad areas which makes them very hard to mow. There is always someone in the shop as well as most of the time a starter or ranger on the course. If you saw the practice green being mowed it was at about 145 which was when you and your wife made the turn. Those greens were mowed that afternoon as our new mechanic from Gator Creek had just set the mower to proper height. Our layout is one of the best in the area. Golf now will not take us off of their website because they make money. This was the third time you played on a golf now hot deal since March 12th and they set their own rates as well as keep 100% of that money. Our golf course is far from a “cow pasture” as it gets. Thank you again for leaving your review.

Great day for golf at the Moc!

We played fast... just over 3 hours. Nice conditions. Some turf repairs were being made on some of the greens... they should be great when everything grows in. We come from St. Pete... so it's a short trip right over the Skyway.

Mediocre at best

We’ve played tournaments there for years. It has become a bootleg course. We were the first group to tee off on a Saturday morning and got through the front 9 quickly, to pull up to hole 10 with 5 carts waiting to tee off. Meanwhile, two other foursomes had already teed off. The gentlemen (not his fault, just poorly managed in the clubhouse) said we could either wait for everyone else & tee off after OR play the front 9 again. Unfortunately had to choose the latter. Again, poorly managed. We understand that nothing works perfectly, but it’s not the first time we’ve experienced rookie-like tee time issues. It’s a free for all for all the people who live near the course that bring their own carts and no one seems to know what to do. Last time we’ll play there.

I understand and apologize for my starter made a huge mistake. I reprimanded him as he was never given permission to have the large group who had tee-times on the first hole at 9:00 am and he completely messed up. I was not made aware of this until 9:45 as I am extremely embarrassed as no one is allowed off the back without my permission. I am sorry that your day was not very good and I understand why you will tell all of your friends never to play with us again. I wish I had been there to rectify the situation and have not had the opportunity to.

Condition

With all the ponds on the cours you would think they would water more. You either hit from the fairway that has dead grass or you hit from the rough that is sand and 4 inch weeds.

Thank you for leaving a review. I just wanted to clarify a couple of points for you. There is only one main pond used for irrigation on the golf course and we do use it to water tees, fairways , and greens. Our greens had been over watered by our superintendent who is no longer employed by us and the new superintendent is purposely drying the greens out to get rid of algae and the overseed as we move into the warmer climate. The fairways are dormant and when you do not overseed we are at the mercy of dormant grass. It’s not dead but needs the ground temperature to reach 73 degrees for the Bermuda grass to kick back into gear. We did a very big fertilizer program two weeks ago with a polymer coating and it is time and temperature release and should be active in the next couple of weeks. Thank you again for playing.

Course is pleasant to play. Some greens need work. There is construction going on in front of the course making the course a little difficult to get to.

OK course

First off there isn’t anyone to greet you. No help with your clubs and no carts. Check in went smoothly and was handed the keys to the carts. Group of 20 ahead of us and 12 behind but the starter let us in a little early and got off OK. Slow start and had some backups.

Course was fair condition. Grad in fairways was too short and the greens were too long(slow). Some bare spots on the greens also.

Probably won’t play here again as it really hasn’t changed much since my last round 5 years or so years ago and it’s a drive from my south Bradenton villa.

Course is challenging due to water on majority of holes. Reachable pars or birdies if you can stay on fairways. Will play again.

Not with it

This course is not in good shape. And they let people go out anyway at all, meaning, the were 2 twosome in front of us that were very slow and many more as we viewed the course during play. For the price I could never do it again, but I never played it and wanted to see how it was. Once is enough.
