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.

Great course

Our time at the course was good, however there were several instances of distractions while playing. When expecting a peaceful golfing day and then having random people drive through as we are teeing off, or hitting our ball, and children shouting while riding a golf cart made for a less than desirable game of golf.

Need on course restrooms

I tend to not want to play this course because of no restrooms are on the course, there are only porta johns which are not convenient for women.. Every other course I play have halfway point restrooms on each nine hole which are very important for golf playing women.

Not sure what’s going on but…

The course was in bad shape. They aerated the greens and did not warn you before going out. The greens were either sand or like a shag carpet. Neither rolled at all. Not worth the money right now.

To be fair, I played it a few weeks ago and it was in decent shape. Very disappointing round and I brought someone who had never played there who said they would never go back.

I like Lake Bernadette. The layout is nice and the holes

are different and can be challenging. I hope this is just a negative blip that they correct soon! I will give them another try in a couple of months.

Rough Shape

One of my favorite places to play but in really rough shape right now. Hopefully ownership will get it back. Overpriced for the condition it is in

Not Worth the Drive

My husband and I like to try out new courses, and I've seen this track on GolfNow for a while now. The staff was very friendly, and the clubhouse appeared nice, even though we didn't eat anything before or after our round. We paired with a gentleman who had played this course in the past and he said it was in pretty good shape compared to the last couple of years. The tee boxes were acceptable, as were the fairways, however, the greens were the 3rd worst I've ever played on, and I've played golf for 7+ years (a couple times per week). It does appear that they are aerating them, so hopefully they will be up to playable standards soon.

Good value but course needs work

Greens are a bit rough. No water throughout all 18 holes. No sanitizer for portable restrooms. Overall good value golfing but needs improvements.

Great Layout, Needs Work

The employees are very friendly and accommodating, but the course conditions need attention. The tee boxes have little to no grass, and 16 out of 18 greens are extremely slow and 'patchy'. This is unfortunate because the layout of the course is very good.

Pretty rough at this time.

I’ve played at this course several times over the past twenty years. It was in pretty rough shape this time. Apparently they had some kind of disease on the greens in December and they still haven’t healed. Heard that the course had been sold and a new roof was being put on the clubhouse, so hopefully the new owners will put a little money back in the course.
