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.

Need to upgrade

This seemed like an old course with no restrooms on the course, No Ball washers on any holes, 3 garbage cans on thecwhold course and No Beverage cart the entire day at 90 degree weather. Will not play again as there are too many issues that I know will never get addressed. Too many greens were in bad shape to putt.

Nice to see the course coming back after the winter course killers have left. This is a great course to play with a mix of varying challenges.

Shocked and Sad

The course is nice and would be a great place to play if A LOT of thins change.

I played this course with a buddy who said the last time he played was 2009.

The maintenance of this course and the upkeep was HORRIBLE! Every single green had weeds growing all over the place! Every tee box had dead grass everywhere!

I can honestly say that I have finally played a course that absolutely seems like they have no intention of upkeep on this course other than cutting some grass.

I most likely will never play this course again.

not worth the money

green conditions were very bad, tee boxes were poor. Hot day and no water coolers on the course.

Players were jumping from hole to hole and went in front of us on number 10. No ranger to keep people in line.

Good Value

This is a fairly good course. The issue is the same for all courses in this area. NO RAIN, no grass seeds planted and they don't water the fairways. This results in significant weeds and dirt spots in the fairways and lack of grass in the fairways. It seems no courses down here seed grass.

Nice layout, horrible maintenance.

This would be a nice course if they would water the course but it’s horribly dry and down to bare dirt in a lot of places including some of the greens. Other greens were in better shape but then either needed to be cut or rolled. It was tough to get any consistent roll. I would steer clear unless it was your only option. Pay a little more and play on real grass.

Not good

Course in poor condition, greens slow and rough. The tee boxes poor condition. Slow play, players were skipping holes and cutting in front of our group. Also no water on the course to refresh on a warm day.

Pace of play only issue.

They let a foursome from a morning event play another 9 and held up the morning schedule, made it a 5 hr round. Other than that everything was ok.

Greens and tee boxes are awful. Staff is rude

Conditions are even worse than a typical $30 course. Greens are so bad. Cart return has a poorly worded sign, so the grumpy dude from the pro shop comes out and gets prissy all day.

Fine

The course was in much better shape than I have experienced in the past. My only gripe was the back 9 greens were like playing a completely different course. So slow. Front 9 actually rolled pretty good.
