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.

Many of the greens are in the process of being repaired. I have played this course four times in the last month and the greens are looking better. Can’t wait to see how they progress. Great value and the staff are very friendly.

Course needs new management to be playable.

I have never seen this course in as poor shape as it is at this time. The greens were in very poor shape and cut extremely uneven. I've played this course several times just after the greens were seeded and they played much better with the sand on them than they did today. The cart paths are a complete disaster which is very hard on the carts. It's ashame to charge $30+ pp to golf on such a poor course. The management will need to be changed before this course is really in playable condition. Area home owners should be extremely upset at the management since they are responsible for letting a premier golf course look like a third rate golf course. Lake Bernadette was my favorite course but things will need to change before I play another round of golf on their course.

The course is deteriorating

The greens are in bad shape and the fairways have numerous sand spots. The course is not being maintained well. Wouldn’t play here again unless the fix the greens and fairways.

Great bargain

This course keeps getting better and better in terms of how well it's taken care of. The first time I went, the greens were rough and patchy and the course was undergoing renovations. Now, however, it's turned into a pretty decent course with a good variety of holes. They also have some of the best deals around.

Course was in rough shape

Course was in rough shape, both greens and fairways. No beverage cart even on morning weekend rounds. Pace of play was SLOW at nearly five hours for a rd where we were waiting on every shot and tee box.

Cow pasture

This course has a poor reputation, but a few months ago new owners took over so we thought we'd give it a try. There was nothing nice about this experience. The pro shop computer system didn't work; the shop is poorly stocked; several of the carts had broken parts or seats with holes in them; the course is in horrible condition with fairways that are like roughs and greens that are full of weeds and large barren patches of sand. Worst of all, during the entire day, we only saw one worker cutting grass over the entire 18 holes. We won't be going back.

Terrible conditions

I’ve played here over 5 times this year and now It’s the worst shape I’ve seen. Half the greens are anything but. Fairways actually aren’t in bad shape. The pro shop was just renovated but they need to turn their attention to the course. It is nice they have a card now, play 5 rounds and the 6th free. Would love to use the card more but the greens NEED to be addressed
