Beautiful, but…

Conditions were immaculate. Everything is green, the landscaping is everywhere, scenery is magnificent. I would recommend, but….the layout is not challenging. The holes are so wide that you could land a 747 on them. Just rip driver as hard as you can on every hole. The greens, however, keep scores up as they have some ridiculous slopes in them. Green Speed was not that fast. It can’t be. If these greens were quick, many putts would roll off the green. I would play a second time, just to see if i could score better on the greens, or get practice swinging driver as hard as i could.

Really Slow Greens

Love this course, third time playing in last 12 months. Greens are ALWAYS very slow. Almost unputtable. Rest of course is fantastic but greens spoil the experience.

Poor Location

This course is located in the same community as 3 other golf courses with the same name. I lost my money to this course due to the fact that nobody within a 5 mile radius could direct me to the course. No refund. No help. Just not friendly people.

Awesome course

Played a few courses around the area and was slightly disappointed. (Legacy, Waterford). This course did NOT disappoint. Range/chipping/putting areas were great Course was in good shape. Greens are impossible to putt on. (So much undulation). But overall 4.5/5. Great course

The most forgiving perfect course

The greens are a tough read but they are perfect and about a 11 to 12, fairways are wide enough to handle the occasional slice :)

Great Track

We were searching for a nice golf course in the Sarasota area and came across the gem. The employees were great and friendly. The practice range was top notch with an aqua driving range. Putting green was massive. Course was in awesome condition! Newer course and greens have yet to mature, but they are still great. Fairways are very wide and playable. The size of greens and the breaks make it a challenge. You need to play this gem!

Great new course, will play again

For a new course it has acceptable greens for holding shots. There is a lot of Undulation to the greens but roll true and fair. The conditions are perfect.
