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.

Course Undergoing Maintenance

Having played this course several times I was aware course was undergoing maintenance, so fact there were 6 tporary greens did not discourage this round. However, the workers were totally disrespectful of golfers approaching the greens on which they working, forcing one to either bypass the green or risk hitting the workers who would not vacate the greens, or even look up, thus causing one to alter their shots.

Very Poor Conditions

Fairways were saturated and muddy. Greens were super long, needed to be cut. Paid ~$20 for an 11:30 tee time, still wasn’t worth it to me. I can’t blame them for the fairways, they can’t control the weather. But the greens could easily be fixed. Drinks were relatively cheap, and my partner enjoyed his hotdog from the clubhouse.

Will play again

We've had a lot of rain. Course was wet. Fairways we're fantastic. A few greens and tee boxes getting work done. Nice to see them getting the course back into great playing conditions. Will play this course again.

Must be closing

Course is in horrendous shape. Greens, fairway, and tees. They didn’t even bother to separate the tee markers. In most cases they were just sitting in a pile near the tee. I’m assuming they are closing and just trying to squeeze out a few more dollars from suckers like me.

Course torn up

Wet, soggy, first hole green and others appears sod was dump in areas, many greens not true and ball moves left to right or right to left when putting. Cart path concrete broken, not good to travel over. Played here several times, just lost a course her in Lakeland to home development and seems this is on the same path

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.
