Best public course around

Very nice course, great staff, not overcrowded like some courses. A bit pricy but can get great last minute discount on certain golf apps and if you are flexible.

Definitly worth it!

First Time Playing

Good layout with the ability to be a great course. Currently the greens are still recovering from the aeration but rolling true. Nice range and decent temporary clubhouse. Cart girl was out and about which was nice. Tons of new home construction being completed around the course but more affects “look” of your round than anything else. I would play again.

First time here

Beautiful area and course. Loved the layout and all fairways and boxes were in great shape. The greens however are sandy and not rolling to the standards you’d expect for $150 weekday round.

Very nice course!

Love the open feel of the course, was not like most of the others jammed in next to houses. Conditions were nice, you could tell they recently plugged the greens but were healing. Greens were faster than average. Lots of construction around, no clubhouse yet but looks like it was being built. Carts were very modern and comfortable, GPS yardages in the carts now.

Great Course

We are 4 friends on a golf trip. 3 of us are playing competition golf regularly, 1 of us is more of a "enjoy the day" type of player. Overall, we we're very satisfied with our day there. Course was in good shape. Staff was great. Would definitely play again.

One of the best public courses around

First time playing here. Course was in terrific shape. Greens looked like they were just punched but rolled well. I played in the afternoon and we finished in 3 hours as it wasn’t busy. One of the better public courses in the area. Pro Shop said it should stay public for 2 more years until more houses are done being built. Staff was very friendly. You can’t take your cart to your car after the round and instead have to bring your car up to the front. I would play here again.

Always Great

By far one of top public in Sarasota/Bradenton area. Course is green, well-manicured and always a good time playing. Greens roll well and were QUICK but always look like they had been punched. Pace of play always good here, especially in evening. Staff friendliness just eh, kinda feel like they were begging for tips - doing too much. Overall would come back every time though, hopefully doesnt turn private in winter.

Greens still healing

Love the course- we drive 45 minutes to play here every once in a while. It seems likes its been 6 weeks or more since they closed for a week for work on the greens but they are far from healed. Still in repair conditions. I would have been sorely disappointed to pay $100 for a morning tee time to find the greens still bumpy. It’s a uniform bumpy if that makes sense but far from smooth putting surfaces right now. The rest of the course was great, staff was great. Nice water and ice out in the course.
