Style Links
Par 71
Length 6484 yards
Slope 125
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.

Unfortunately due to the recent rain, the course was very wet. Also the greens have not been cut.

Wow

I gave this course a one star in October it was horrible. What a turnaround course is in very good shape especially the greens a complete surprise only suggestion on hole 7 which is always wet . Can someone put some plywood on the right side so carts don’t tear up the fairways when trying to get back on the cart path near the green!

What a mess....

Have not played here in a few years because back then there were always problems. It was either very wet, greens spotty, tees messed up..always something..

Today it was all the above and then some..We picked this afternoon(1:30) tee time because the tee times were wide open before and after our time so the idea was it would be a fairly quick round before sunset at 530.

Walked up to check in and there was no one at the counter. The restaruant cashier was running the pro shop and the snack bar. After 10 minutes we were finally checked in and were told to follow a twosome then a threesome(we were just a twsome)..Had to wait on every hole and at the 9th tee we were passed by two guys with thier dates who we caught up with on 10 tee. We watched and waited on all the back 9 as the Males were showing the ladies how to play..25 yards at a time..Barely made it through 18 by dark as they were met by another lady with a 2yr old baby that ran across 18 green as we waited to finish.

Course conditions were horrible. Big long patches of repaired greens, looked to be cut out and replanted, that were much lower than the rest of the geeen surface on about half of all greens. Tees had been overseeded recently but were very uneven and chewed up. Fairways very muddy and sparse of grass,.all approaches were soggy and saturated. Trenches cut into #12 to drain it Id guess.

If this place is "much better" than it used to be Im glad i missed it the last few years..30$ for afternoon rounds is about 20$ too much..Its about one notch above a medium bucket of balls at any driving range. So many other options in the area..Maybe in a few years they make a comeback or close...

Much better than last year

Ok course is making a comeback. Nice work. But the green repairs need to be filled in. A bit of sand or dirt then let the grass grow. You see drops on greens on every repair.

Really enjoyable layout.

Course was very wet due to the recent hurricane that went through. Also super foggy to start the day, so we couldn't really see well for the first 5 holes. Layout was really nice and the conditions were fairly good. Greens were a touch slow for my liking, but rolled nicely. Great value and recommend checking it out if you haven't played it.

Slowly getting better

Greens are coming back after going through a really rough period. Tee boxes are being allowed to grow grass. Clubhouse is being improved/updated/painted. Food is good, beer is cold. Love the layout, just enough challenge.

It's ready

I love LB's layout. I would argue it has one of the better layouts within 10 miles. The course is in good shape. The greens are a tad slow but they have been patched and they are in good condition. They have newer carts and I love the club cleaner and the ball cleaner on the cart. Overall, if you have not the opportunity to play this course I suggest you play it. It's not easy, however, satisfying. It's in the best shape in the last 2 years. Don't expect a lot from the right cart paths although the new carts roll through them painlessly.
