I Recommend This Course
Fantastic course, cranky staff
Snack area was closed on a Sunday. Weather was very bad around 2pm. Had a round just after 3. got there early in case I were able to warm up (they have a nice range and practice area). Cart staff was visibly annoyed I was willing to wait out the weather despite the pro shop gladly taking my money. Weather cleared up and ended up being an awesome day on the course. At the end of my round the cart staff stared me down the entire time I was gathering my belongings and when I said “thanks have a great day,” I got a “yup,” as a response. Not sure why the anger!

Tricky Greens
Stay below the hole or 3 putt. Course in great condition and greens are difficult due to contour

Not necessarily easy to putt on the severely undulating green complex. Otherwise it’s an outstanding course layout.

Great golf course, tees at every level but never once did a staff member thank me. Even though tipping the half way hut and the bar cart driver, tipped 20% and they could not even say "Thanks". Most unfriendly serving staff of any course in Sarasota/Bradenton area. Play there a few times a year and never seen that before.
