Esplanade at Azario Lakewood Ranch

Course conditions are always fantastic. Staff is friendly. Pretty decent pricing for the area. Will probably go the way of most other courses in the area…..private before too long. Pace of play has always been good; cart girls are good; only complaint is that you just paid $100~ to play the course and you can’t go grab a bite to eat or a drink at the bar unless you’re a member? Total bullshtein. Come on Azario change this rule. Ridiculous.

Good layout and challenging course especially as windy all the time. Greens are very undulating and they had some pins on slopes which would draw complaints. No rough at all. Some holes you need to gear back especially if down wind to avoid water, and some shorter par 4s you should play for position with a hybrid off the tee. Not a big fan of hitting balls on the driving range into the pond. A lot of new house build will occur so this course will look much different over time.

This was my first time. I loved this course. Staff was excellent. Conditions were great. I didn’t love the greens. They were in perfect shape. I would like less undulations. Many situations where two putting was a challenge and chipping onto the greens were difficult to get close. With that said, I strongly recommend.

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!

Nice track...friendly staff...future amenities/Clubhouse looks awesome.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My favorite course from the first time I ever played there. Always play my best golf on this course
