Great shape

From my favorite cart guy (ron) to the pro (doug) to the starter we were treated great as always. They paired us up and got us off on time and luckily the group ahead let us thru (rare in Fla) and we played in 3 and 1/2 hours. Greens continue to be amazing for a public course and fairways and tee boxes actually improved since two weeks ago!! Of course $70 is a lot when I was always paying $25 and less for Benttree BUT given what's out there $70 was well worth it because of the condition! They should be very proud of the way they/ve maintained things and the way they treat people. played that course for many years and it's never been this good.

First Time Playing

Pleasantly surprised!

First time plying here even though we’ve come to Sarasota for over 35 years. I was happy with everything about the course and amenities. Interesting layout. Some very challenging holes and some easier ones. For public golf you really can’t ask for better for under $50. Starter Bruce was extremely friendly. We will gladly come back. For the price we paid it’s a very acceptable Grade B+++.

T time delays

Each time I book a T time there is a delay in the start time which results in NOT being able to finish 18 holes before dark. The management should consider providing more carts or reducing the green fees etc.

We needed to wait over 1/2 hour to get a cart. Because of that we were not able to complete 18 holes on time.. Should not happen.

Won't play again.
