Esplanade at Azario Lakewood Ranch

Great layout, everything in front of you, fairways green & lush, greens tricky & just a little fuzzy. Positive experience. Appreciate opportunity to play. Outstanding practice area.

Everything was great other than the greens which are just young and will only get better with time.

I love this course and have played it 20 times or so. It is FUN to play. Beautiful and perfectly maintained. Excellent short game practice area. Water range. Semi-forgiving off the tee. The greens can be CRAZY if you don't hit it close. Very large and some big undulations and multiple tiers for pin placements. Since it is new, the greens don't hold the ball very well so you need to play a club less on most approaches to allow for the roll out. On front pins that can cause some problems. Once you get to know the greens it is super fun to hit approaches because if you hit the greens in the correct spots the ball feeds right to the hole. Rewards good shot makers and severely punishes misses. You do not want to have 60 foot putts on this course. Putts roll true. Greens are not super fast and you wouldn't want them to be as it would make it almost unplayable...the greens are that crazy.

Great course . large fairways with tee boxes for every level of player. I have played this course twice in the past week first time finished in 3 hours second time we finished in 2 and a half hours. The staff is attentive and showed us to the practice areas and gave us a brief review of the course . The driving range is a large water hazard the putting green is close to what you will find on the course, but the greens on the course are to say the least interesting. If you find yourself in the Sarasota are this is one of the courses you need to add to you list.

Great Course, played with my son. We had a blast. He drove down from Tampa while I drove up from Naples. will be doing it again soon, worth the trip!

Nice layout,good green, water and Bunkery, nice landscape

Play a lot of golf, 15 handicap.. Course is wide open.. Very nice., Greens where punched a couple weeks earlier I am guessing. Very sandy. But rolled well. And could be difficult with pin placements.. No Restaurant onsite yet. Still under construction. Going to be a very nice place.over all great day, Would play it again.

Excellent new course worth playing in the area. Very challenging layout particularly if windy. We played in just over four hours. The course is very new and my only issue was that the greens were very slow. Still I would recommend.

Very playable, loved the green undulations, approach shot distances were variable, but playable, and you could see what was in front of you....which added to the playability of the course.

Excellent layout but the greens are terrible. Way too many undulations on the greens, some of which are completely unfair. Feel like you are playing a putt putt course without the clowns mouth
