Great course. Hard greens

First time playing here. Was first of the tee and finished the round in 3 hours. Great round. Just be aware course just opens. Greens are still very firm!! So expect your balls to release more right now on the greens and roll fast but true

Same layout with minor changes

The course is in fantastic shape. They did make some minor positive changes with some tree removal. The fairways, greens and tee boxes are immaculate.

Some Negatives : the didn’t figure out a way to remove the sun on the second hole! 🤣

No more golf carts in the parking lot is another STUPID policy that many courses have adopted. The fact that people are careless in the parking lots should be a THEM problem and not an OUR problem!🤣. Overall, I give the course an A. Give me carts in the parking lot and you’d get the A+!

Poor conditions

I understand the course is preparing to be renovated and the fairways and greens probably haven't been watered in weeks. The fairways were brown like straw and greens the same. It would have been good to be notified of the conditions before booking the tee time. There were the worst conditions I have ever played.

Turf

We paid full rack rate, but when we got to the first fairway, we realize that the entire golf course had been sprayed with Roundup or some other kind of herbicide, and the course was completely brown and dead. We like this golf course, but we should’ve been informed of the conditions before we paid FULL Price to play. Very disappointing.

Poor Conditions

When we booked this online we were not informed that they had killed all the grass to prepare for renovations. Cost us over $100 to play on dead grass and bad greens.

Ready to close

Course conditions almost not reviewable since course was a week away from closing for the season for complete makeover……booked thru golf now…unless I missed it, no heads up on the condition of the course and that they had sprayed to kill the grass in anticipation of closing for the season…was told in pro shop day of play and had already prepaid by then…not a $90-100 course in the best of times and certainly not in the condition we played it. Would not have booked if I’d known it…

Great Course, professional management

Not your average FL course

A more mature course with a reasonably tight layout to offer a great challenge. If you are a snowbird from up North you'll enjoy the course. They are about to renovate which will only add to the experience. Watch out for the killer 8th Hole par 5 from the blue tees if you are into the wind! ENJOY

Plushest fairways in Sarasota

We played in the twilight so paid a bargain price.

Fairways were nearly perfect. Greens were not very fast but in excellent condition and played consistent. Excellent layout also.

I think there were six tee boxes so lots of choices.

Saw tons of wildlife - deer, gators, cranes, eagles.

Looking forward to next year

The course closes soon for renovations.

The cart paths are brutal and I’m told they will be repaired.

The course is in good shape.. the green on number

ten ,strangely, is pock marked.

That’s nit picking. The course is one of the best in the area
