Esplanade at Azario Lakewood Ranch

Really enjoyed the course and staff was very friendly and welcoming!

Championship first rate course. Bucket list course, play it while you can because it will be going private in a few years when construction is completed.

Play it ASAP!

Not sure what’s going on with their carts but the last two times I played they didn’t have GPS in their carts.

About 3 of the pin placements were impossible. More like goofy golf than real golf. I am not talking about hard pins but they were impossible. 4 and 5 putting a green because if you missed it going uphill it would roll back further than the previous putt. I am a 6 handicap too. Setting it up hard is ok. Setting it up where it is impossible degrades the fabulous golf course you have.

The staff, playing partners, and conditions were great.

Fairways are wide and bunkers have high lips.

I HATED the crazy greens. There is so much slope/contour on every green it approaches “miniature golf-like.” I shot 78 and never had flat putt beyond 3 feet.

Thankfully they are not super fast greens.

Course, practice facilities and staff were great but Power Carts were awful. GPS didn’t work and when we requested a new cart 3 times no one came out. On about 5 occasions we were in the middle of the fairway cart shutdown because apparently we were in a restricted zone. Disappointing

Free range balls,great staff,best burger I’ve ever had at a half way house! Course was challenging and in immaculate condition, great were contoured,2nd cut was cut low but the water and the greens made up for that challenge, pace of play was great, 7:36 tee time and we finished in 3hrs 20 min ….best course I’ve played in the area …will be a private course when the development is done so play it while you can

Nothing negative with this course. It will eventually go Private like Lakewood National, once the residential development is completed.
