A really nice, great value course. It was fun and well maintained. I dislike courses that run through developments, but it was really only the last few holes here.

One of the top tracks in the Bradenton area

The course was in great shape with many tee options to make sure everyone has a shot at a good day. The staff were friendly and helpful and the practice facilities were outstanding. Make sure you arrive early to take advantage of practice areas. A little pricier than other options but worth the extra. Looking forward to playing Esplanade at Azario again.

Incredible but…

This is easily one of my favorite tracks in town. The practice facility is second to none. Awesome selection in the bunker bar and on the cart as well. However, I find that the greens definitely need to be sped up at least a 2-3 on the stimpmeter. At the speed they’re at now they come off as gimmicky. Speed them up and I’ll be very happy. I’d rather three putt a few times because I blew one past the hole then feel like I have to putt it off the green to get it to roll 10 feet. Lastly, for the love of god please tell the cup cutter to chill out with the 1-2 paces on locations. No reason there should be a cup 1 pace on the green ever.

Can’t beat it

Although I only got through 6 holes before the skies opened up and ruined the rest of the round, there aren’t enough good things to say about this course!! Hopefully they keep it public even once all the homes are built. If you have the chance, GET HERE! Greens are beautiful. Layout is challenging but the wide fairways are nice. GPS golf carts with Bluetooth as well is a nice touch!

Little disappointing

The greens had be aerated recently so they were pretty slow. Orher than that the course was in excellent condition. It is fairly new course so it is not mature. Just don't feel it's worth $75
