Esplanade Golf & Country Club at Lakewood Ranch

Always in good condition, very nice layout with plenty of trouble. Highly recommend

The course is very well maintained from tee to green. The staff was friendly and the pace of play was very good.

The course is pristine

Simply excellent

The practice area is terrific as well

As good as it gets in the Sarasota area

It is pricey. More expensive than any of the area courses

Fantastic atmosphere and course challenges!! Very enjoyable golfing experience with welcomed value due to deals through Golf now rates! Biggest issue is road guidance to venture to the pro shop—— directions to navigate through the entrance gate does not match navigation systems in car or I phone.

My husband and Ilove playing this course. We love the layout. Play it when the rates are more reasonable.

Excellent course. Lady friendly so my wife and I try to play it as much as possible. Wide fairways but tricky greens. Enjoyable!!

Look for a deal to play this course. It is excellent condition for March. Fairways are wide and its easy to keep the ball in play. Good greens. Fast play. Excellent course for women. Very nice restaurant with outdoor seating and good food.

On the day we played there were a few glitches. The Men's bathroom at the restaurant had a clogged toilet so there was a line. There was a computer glitch at check in and the head pro spent time scolding the staff and kept us in line for 10 minutes. Never got a receipt for the greens fee or an apology for the inconvenience.

A high end course like this one needs to fix these problems.

Very nice course, ladies tee box length very short. Course layout very nice, fairways very wide and greens roll great.

I don't review every course but this place I have too!

The Staff, Clubhouse, Starter and Ranger all were extremely pleasant, happy and I got first names!

My partner bailed on me so I was by myself and everyone at and on the course were awesome! The starter asked if I had been there before, I told him no so he handed me a used yardage book that someone left behind to help me navigate! The ranger on the course drove up asked my name and introduced himself (Jim M and he works Saturdays) I finished 18 in 3 hrs and the conditions were unbelievable! For a course that is booked as much as this place, its hard to believe that the greens and tee boxes would be pristine- THEY ARE

Nice to tee off with out standing in holes! This Palace is really worth the xtra dough Enjoy - I did!

The course was well worth the money. Great condition and pace of play. Although the development is moving quickly, it does not encroach on the experience.

We were very happy with our round, pace of play outstanding, only waited a few holes. Course conditions we’re very good. Recommend highly

This is a great resort or member friendly course with each hole laid out in front and no gimmicks. There are wide landing areas off the tee and large greens that accept the ball reasonably. Green speeds are up there but not stupid. They are consistent throughout the course. The course has been over seeded and is a lush green with no bare areas. Get there early as the range balls are included in your green fee and they have an excellent chipping green as well as putting surface. This course will eventually go private so playing it soon is recommended. This was my first time playing here on my annual trip from Canada, it won’t be my last.

Very nice semi private course in Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton Florida. Well maintained with challenging but fair layout.

Only issue I have with this course is the slow pace of play. Rangers do not enforce anything.

This course will go private when the development is finished. So they cater to members, which they should.

Relative to its competition this course is pricey.
