Rating 70.7

The Links of Lake Bernadette enjoys verdant landscaping and a rolling terrain that are perfectly complemented by mature and towering pines. At 6,400 yards, the golf course is seemingly short but it feels like it plays much longer due to frequent doglegs that can be found throughout. Six of the par 4s play over 400 yards and a few par 3s measure over 200 yards, which also helps the course feel longer. Water hazards and bunkers come into play but they are balanced by large greens and wide fairways that make for easier approaches. Although beginners won't feel out of place and there are four different sets of tees, the golf course boasts several tricky holes that will challenge even the best players. One of these, the 163-yard 13th, was once called the best par 3 in Tampa Bay.

Drainage issues.

This course is average, the price is good compared to the competition. The drainage of the course could be improved, as we had spots on the fringe that were sloppy. The greens are SUPER SLOW. You put downhill and the ball will stop mid hill. The clubhouse doesn't have much other than polo shirts. The shoe selection is lacking unless you have child sized feet. I'd play here again, because even with the issues, you can't beat the price.

Good course for the price

The course was a good course to play for the money. Greens were is good shape but the bunkers were rock solid and full of grass.

Pleasantly Surprised

After not playing her for several weeks. I was impressed with how the course looked and played. Some drainage issues on number 12 but that’s it. I played the Groves the day before and Bernadette was in better shape.

Great time. But T-time management wasn’t the best.

We were playing having a great time until a group jumped into the course on the 4th hole and they caused our group and 3 other groups to be backed up due to their VERY VERY SLOW game play. I never rush anyone but they were a group of 4 re-teeing about 4-5 times each cause 4 groups to be sitting in line stacked on top of one another.

Course was amazing once they got off the course on the 9th hole

Very nice layout.

A little soft in a few places but the course is overall in decent shape. A few tricky holes that require good placement. Not particularly tight but loose shots will cost you. Pretty good pace for a crowded Saturday. I like this course and will return.

Too soggy

Normally this course is in good condition. Because of all the rain, it didn’t drain well. There were several areas where water had pooled.

Horrible

This course is horrible! Tee boxes over grown, fairways flooded (horrible draining), and greens are slower than most courses rough it’s like Velcrow/carpet. Never play here unless you expect the absolute worse course you’ll ever play in your life… For very similar pricing GO TO SILVERADO!

Best Score at Bernadette

Had a nice round of golf as the pace of play was fantastic and heat held off until last few holes on the back 9. Course was in good condition. Greens were a bit slow but fairways ran pretty good.
