Perfect weather

replay without the rain

nice to get to replay the course without the rain; a lot of waste bunkers and a lot of wind makes it challenging in the rain.

followed a slow group so a little over 4 1/ 2 hour round; long compared to what we've been playing.

Beautiful place

looks like a spectacular course; greens were fantastic. Lots of binders and waste bunkers. Played front nine in crazy howling wind and then back nine in pouring rain. Would be nice to play it on a warm sunny day !

A very nice and surprising layout

If you love water you will find it on every hole. Some forgiving driving options but danger for wayward shots. Very nice round!

Green complexes were questionable at best. Higher handicaps should beware. Limited bailout opportunities are available. Conditions are immaculate but that may not redeem the layout.

Excellent condition in all ways

Played this course from the blue tees today. The course condition was excellent. Greens are large and roll true. Greens undulate and greens were fast.

Fun layout. Not extremely difficult though which is good. Greens were fast. Conditions were very good everywhere. Amenities are great especially the practice area. I play here each time I visit Florida. Thank you.

Get rid of all the houses and condos and it’s a top 25 of all Florida courses. That probably won’t happen though so it’s closer to a 4 than 5 star.

Best Course

Best course I’ve played in the Bradenton/Sarasota area. Course condition was excellent. Greens are getting ready for season but still tricky enough to challenge. Can’t wait to play again.

Outstanding Course

One of the best courses that your going to find in SW Florida. The overall condition is outstanding, the tee boxes.. fairways .. and greens are immaculate. Not necessarily the easiest course with its rolling fairways and undalating greens but it's all about putting yourself in position. Very little water hazards. This is a must play course.

Great course in a perfect shape. Back 9 is challenging and will get to you, if you don‘t manage the course properly. Staff is remarkably friendly!
