This course very nice

I travel to Florida once every year on a golf trip. A must for me is to play this course. Although the course was great before, new ownership has raised the bar ! Greens and Fairways are excellent! Tee boxs are close to excellent. If I lived in close proximity to the area I would definitely be a member. If you are in the area , you must play this course. Also, owner and staff are exceptional!

Trending better every week

Tees, Greens and Fairways are excellent. Rough is filling in nicely on all fairways and green collars. Greens-keeper is doing an excellent job. Fall conditions should be stellar after continued care and maintenance throughout the summer. A must play over the summer. Course requires ball control. You simply can't just hit it anywhere and expect to have a good scoring round.

Grass driving range has great turf for warm up before the round.

My go to golf course when I am in the area on biz

Pace of play is great here. The turf conditions get better and better each time I play here. My favorite part is the tee boxes are right next to the cart paths on every hole. No long walks or hikes up stairs or a hill to tee off!! Also keeps the pace of play moving. See you again soon.

Great Course !

I travel to Florida from Ohio every year. The highlight of my golf vacation is playing MOC ! Although in past years the course has been great, with the new ownership the bar has been raised to Outstanding ! Should I ever move in close proximity to MOC , I would most definitely become a member. If you are ever in the Palmetto Florida area - or just in Florida - I highly recommend playing MOC !

The MOC -- better and better each day

Course conditions continue to improve. Fairways, tees and greens are some of the best in the area. All trends indicate a move toward a first class facility. Rough continues to improve but if you are playing from fairways, no need to worry about the rough. Investment in course conditions are evident. Bring your A game because the layout is challenging but based on multiple tee locations the course can be played with enjoyment by all levels.

Driving range size and condition --excellent.

Burgers are excellent in the restaurant if you are hungry.

Holes 10, 11 and 12 are as tough as there is in the area for a three hole stretch.. #9 still remains a monster of a hole.

Course is better BUT

Everything else was a joke. The course has improved a lot but had an awful experience before and after golf. First, the golf cart was disgusting. Trash in the cup holders, broken tees and just dirty. After golf we went into the bar/restaurant for a bite to eat and a drink. We took one look at the menu and were a little shocked to see $12 cheeseburgers and $10 salads. My wife and I decided to split a sandwich until we were told that there was a sharing charge. Are you kidding me? This place is a joke and will never be back again

EXTREME Makeover

I live locally and have played this course several times. It has come under new ownership in the past 12 to 18 months and let me tell you what a fantastic job they have done with the make over. From the range all the way to the greens was in great shape. A challenging and fun course, friendly staff and a relaxing 19th hole. I recommend this course and I am already lookn forward to playing again next week. Can't beat all you get for the price. Had a great time.

Best layout in manatee co. PURE GREENS

This golf course has come along way since the Zelnik’s purchased this club. Greens/Fairways are in great shape. The owners have put many long hours into this golf course and it has a BRIGHT FUTURE! If the West FL Golf Tour thinks it’s good enough to have a 3-Day event there... you need to go play it! Can wait to get back out there and tee it up!

Be careful this Snake has a bite!

The Moc ( Improves )

I am a Member of The Moc and Am very proud to say that !!!

The new owners Zelnik and Andy & Crew have taken a broken Golf Course (Imperial Lakewood) to a New and Improved Golf Course ! They are continually working to improve it.

Everyone should come out to play and see what has been accomplished!

THIS GUY IS TRYING HARD

The new owner is trying hard to bring this course back from the dead, and has spent a lot of money to do so, but it is a process. I'm sure it will eventually be a really good course, but right now, it's very average (condition wise). Really good layout, with interesting holes..Some are wide open, yet others demand a dead straight shot, trees on 1 side, and water on the other.Very nice staff. Prices are very good, both in the bar, and on the course. I hope everything works out alright for this hard working new owner.

Nice to have it back!

Course has come a long way since new owners took over, they are to be commended for their efforts. A friendly atmosphere, where it feels like you are valued as a customer. The greens are good, the fairways and areas surrounding greens have improved. Bunkers need work, my only real criticism. Give the course and the new owners a try, they deserve your support!

Great hidden gem

I was really thrilled to get a early tee time on a Sunday and beat the heat. The course was fun and forgiving for a mid handicapper like myself. The owner and greens management have definitely put in the time and money into making this a premiere course. The improvements I’ve seen over the last year have been nothing short of amazing. All staff memebers abd personel were very friendly and accommodating. Had lunch after my round and the burger was absolutely amazing. On one hand I’m glad to have a hidden treasure like this close to home but also sad that more people don’t know what they are missing. I’m not one to leave reviews but I was shocked to see the rating far lower than this place deserves. I will definitely be back and be bringing guests for years to come.

Perhaps improving but still a way to go

I selected this course because it was convenient to where we were traveling and I read some reviews that said the course conditions had improved from previous years. I'll start with the good...the green surfaces were in great condition and the pace of play (Wed afternoon) was great (under 4 hours for me and my wife). I've read reviews that said the tees and fairways were improved. I found most of the tees to be OK but a few were still bad. One womens tee on #12 was crabgrass and sand. I'm not sure about the fairways. We started on 10 and it seemed to be in pretty good shape but but it looked dormant (brown). Most fairways were covered in piles of grass clippings and I'm not sure why that was. Anything that wasn't fairway grass looked pretty unkept. I'm not sure if that's intentional or not. Lots of sandy areas and splotchy grass coverage. Some bunkers seemed pretty well covered in sand but others had grass clumps and little sand. I doubt I'll visit again until I see many more positive reviews.

Good course, staff needs training

This is the first time playing this course since the new ownership took over. The greens were quite good and fast, and the entire course was in good shape. It is a very challenging course, quite narrow in places, and open to the wind. I had friends visiting from GA who had never played the course, and though the golf was enjoyable, the staff at the MOC (other than the starter, who was quite pleasant, and the bartender), was repeatedly unprofessional, complaining about the fee that Golf Now takes, chastising us for picking up range balls when the pro shop was out of balls and told us to find them on the range, then directing us to move our carts over here, then over there, as though we worked for them. They apparently spent their money on the greens, and not on attitude training for their employees.

Played this course March 14 2018; fairways, greens, and tee boxes were the worse I have played out in 9 years living in Florida. We played this course after reading the course website that misrepresented the condition of the course.

Pretty Cool Golf Course

This course commonly known as "The Moc" was a very nice treat. I am actually glad I waited to write this review, you see why as you continue to read. So I booked a tee time on their web site for 2:00 PM I arrived at the course at 1:00 went in and paid and was going to warm up. The young man at the desk was very kind, I ask can I go or do I need to wait, he says a twosome just went off and there is not another Tee Time for about 30 mins there is no need for you to wait. So I go off and proceeded to make my first 3 putt and double bogey of the year, lol. It gets better, caught the twosome at #4 and they allowed me to play ahead. The greens on the course were in fantastic condition, some minor issues but nothing that time will not fix. So I finish my round and came in to get something to drink did have time to eat, although the food I saw folks eating looked yummy. Very nice test of golf a great course to get in some great work, very nice layout. So fast forward to Tuesday afternoon 13 FEB, I am on my way in from work and had not eaten lunch, I have to go right by the Moc to get home so I decided to stop and grab a bite to eat. The young lady behind the counter took good care of me, folks in the place were very friendly. Then this guy shows up and is behind the bar, starts up a conversation asked me if I played I told him not today just stopped in to grab some food, He said alright that''s cool I told him I had played on Saturday and enjoyed it very much we talked about the course and somehow got on the new ball from Titleist (AVX), long story short he goes to his office and gives me one to try out, I was thinking this guy must be the pro he was very friendly and nice to talk to, come to find out his name is Noah and he is the owner of the course. What a treat, you can tell he loves his club and his patrons. I will be back, simply because Noah has created an environment that you don't find in most golf clubs. Oh by the way, the Club Sandwich on a scale of 1-10 it was a 12 or 13. I will be back oh yeah score 83 not bad for the first round of the year, like riding a bike.

EG

Good Greens

Greens were excellent and moderately contoured. Nice medium speed. Course not very challenging. Many par 4s were the same. Lots of almost straight-away. Negligible rough and trees, but some trees strategically placed. Friendly staff. Great pace. Had a good time.
