Bent Tree

Play is very slow at this course as we have played it several times. The course itself is fine and staff are good. This past Sunday we played behind a 6 some that sometimes was a 4 some but very annoying. Young men that had very little understanding of golf but were having a good time. No on course supervision that over playing 3 rounds (there) differently has some issues to manage better. If it was for the afternoon price, we wouldn’t play again. So I guess you get what you pay for….:)

Nice Greens

The greens were nice and pace of play good (~4 hours) but the range was three mats hitting into nets and the cart paths are in need of repair.

Thursday @ Bent Tree

The course layout was challenging, a number of great driving holes.

This season, I have played other course in the Sarasota area and in comparison, Bent Tree conditions were in pretty good shape.

The greens were in good condition; rolled true and the speed of the greens fair.

Although the par 3 tee boxes were showing stress, the rest of the tee boxes were in good shape. The fairways were also in good shape too.

The pace of play was challenging, a ranger on the course might have helped.

For $60 dollars it was a reasonable fee for this course, and the course conditions; anything more NO! I’ll return to Bent Tree for $60.

The problem with golf courses in the Sarasota area is they are unfairly gouging golfers with fees that do not correspond to conditions of the course. A real ripoff.

Great value. Greens were very good, some fairways a bit thin but not terrible.

Bent Tree is ok.

Very nice staff and good course layout and condition but slow pace of play (4:45) and lack of driving range lead to an average rating for me, especially given the price.

Great Surprise

I really enjoyed the round. I was a single and got paired up with a great group and sent out early! Cart mgmt was the only thing slowing us down from going out earlier. Nice tees, decent layout, water was not a big problem, traps could be a lot better, greens were very fair to play on. I will play again here and bring friends.

At 4.45 nobody on the course

Since they had taken my money for the day before I believe they should have let me play
