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.

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.

First Time Playing

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.

I haven’t played the course the past 4 years. It seemed to be burnt out, maybe because it’s very dry. I do like the course layout, location and staff. I was just surprised by the condition.

Course and Carts need work

First time here. The cart we had an issue with the parking brake. It wouldn't work, so it was difficult to leave the cart in certain places. The course itself was in lousy shape. Greens need work. I tried it because of the price but would say it's not worth what we paid.
