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.

OK at best

The attitude of staff was less than friendly but they were busy. There was a Slow foursome in front of the slower fivesome in front of us. Fivesomes can be slow and are seldom seen. When the group behind us called in to ask about a fivesome and the pace of play they were informed that there was no Marshal and they were working understaffed. I would not return if I knew these conditions would persist. Our last outings were better for pace of play but sandtraps with no sand full of water should not be on a course at this price maybe for half this price as you get what you pay for Very Disappointing

Bernadette Is Back Baby!

Much improved over the last six months. New ownership has made the necessary changes and now it's a fun and challenging course to play. If improvements continue, will definitely consider membership. Staff is super nice and helpful as well. Will book my next round there.

Greens and Fairways poor condition

i placed this course today and was disappointed that it has not improved over the winter . The fairways and greens were not in good shape. The individuals cutting the greens made a mess out of them as they left the marks of the cutting machine on the greens making it difficult to put. So sad. The layout of the course is good just needs water and TLC.

Greens and tee boxes still needs repaired and maintained. Lets see how the new owners handle this issue and the time frame to get the course back into shape.

Greens quite rough and exceptionally slow. Some greens burnt. Numerous cart tracks from Mtce vehicle across many greens. Overall fun course though not very challenging. Staff friendly. Got a great deal so I got what I paid for.

Challenging Course

I'm a value searching golfer, and this course seemed slightly below average of the FL courses I play, but it was challenging and longer than most Greens, Traps, and farways were a little rough, but very playable and pace of play was excellent.

Bernadette

Very disappointing. Had played the course couple of weeks ago and at that time the greens were in good shape. Now they are NOT. I would say that of the 18 greens, more than half were in bad shape. Very little grass and hard as a rock. Like the layout but until conditions improve, will not be back.

Disappointing

Obviously the new owners have not been putting any money into the course. Conditions were disappointing at best. No carts availble for tee times. Many groups waitiing. Appears sprinklers have been turned off.
