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 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

Just a couple issues but alright overall

Was a decent round. Tee boxes need some work. Greens are in rough shape. They weren’t mowed, most of them had different types of grass, and they all had some kind of area that was dirt. I’m not a pro or that serious about my game so I just moved the ball around to where I didn’t have to putt through it. Overall it was good for the $25

Nice course

This is a really good course. But during the summer, when you can finally get a good tee time, the course is being made ready for the fall. This is when the snow birds return.

They’re putting in work

Happy to see the new owners really putting some money in to the place. Great layout that desperately needs a makeover tee to green. Have seen some progress in all three areas. Other spots are going through major maintenance, some tee boxes are closed, whatever. I hope no one is coming out here to try and break the course record, unless that record is for beers consumed per 9.. It’s a great value at $ 22 or less.

Summertime Rehab

The course is obviously in it's summer rehab so it's understandable that the greens are in rough shape. Fees should probably be a little lower. I paid $18 for 9 holes. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The clubhouse was also in the middle of a remodel.

I have played this course twice in 3 weeks and both times I started off alone and ended up joining people to finish.

That’s what made it so great for me

Some fairways and a couple of greens were rough. Had a foursome in front of us ( a twosome) that we waiting on after every shot and they would not let us pass. No golf etiquiette!
