Esplanade at Azario Lakewood Ranch

Course was in good shape overall! A little sandy on the greens and the first few were wet and sandy. Dried up as round went on. Great practice facility although hitting from mats was frustrating. Staff was awesome! Will be back.

Played this course a couple of times and we enjoy playing here often. Great condition. The negative was pace of play was SUPER slow. Waited on average 5-7 minutes each tee shot. Sounds like they overbooked and let some members go out with no tee times and at one point had 5 groups on a par 5. Would go back and play as it is normally a 4 hour round.

Played here last week and enjoyed everything,the practice facilities were really good and the course was great with fast but receptive greens,hope to play here again next year

The course was great, water on almost every hole. The tee box, fairways, and greens were in great shape. Only two things I didn't like about it, I was a group of four and we played 2 on 2 best ball scramble. We were not playing slow by any means. We had to let 2 groups of 2 play thru back to back. Why didn't the starter ask them to join together? And we didn't see the cart person until on back nine.

Course was in great shape, even after recent aeration, and greens were fast and smooth. I would rate this course as one of the best, if not the best, in the Bradenton/Sarasota area. Staff was very friendly, courteous and professional in all aspects. Highly recommend playing Azario!

I have been wanting to golf this course for a while. Finally I got a great deal so I jumped at the opportunity. The course is in wonderful shape even though it’s been very dry for a couple of months. It has good practice facilities, including free balls. The carts have very good GPS. The fairways and rough and traps and T boxes were all great. The greens were tricky because of a lot of undulation. It has a scenic design that would be even better if it wasn’t for all the construction. Glad I went there.

Played Azario for the first time and now understand what all the hype is about. It’s a bit pricey but is clearly one of the best courses in Manatee County. Can highly recommend and hope to return soon.

We played 3 times in the las year and condition always great even after green airation !

Beautiful course. Pace of play was horrible - slow in front of us and people hitting to us for 18 holes behind. If they would stagger tee times better would be a great course to play. Open fairways very tough greens

We played on probably the windiest day this year so that was our call to play in that weather. The course was awesome. The fairways are wide and the greens roll true

Will play there again.

Immaculate experience! I’ve got nothing bad to say about this course or it’s condition. The greens were a bit slow but that’s to be expected during a dry season of no rain. Beautiful course and great layout. The cart guys were extremely friendly. 100% recommended playing here!
